Wise Madness
I have a busy day today so this will have to be short. Yesterday I went to in-person therapy. Unfortunately, I didn’t realize it till I got there but it was only a 30-minute session. The trip takes an hour and a half each way. On the bright side it’s good for my physical health, […]
Yesterday morning when I wrote I had anxiety and depression. That followed a happy day celebrating my birthday with a good friend and Junior’s cheesecake. I spent my birthday going to the gastroenterologist and the anxiety and depression are gone. No, the GI doc didn’t fix my psyche. Therapy did. I now look back and […]
I’m back! I heard live music two nights in a row! Last night I went to Mary O’s for their Thursday night Irish Session. I tried to go to last week’s Thursday night Irish Session, but I had a flaw in my plan, it was Friday. The devil is in the details. Sadly, that means […]
Good news, you get to read an idiot story. Until the Wise Madness market research department tells me otherwise, I will assume that the thing My Gentle Readers most want to read about is me being an idiot. My supervisor agrees. She also supervisors the production of Gord’s Gold. I don’t mind the supervision, I […]
Today is the Fourth of July, Independence Day, so I just did what I do every year on this date; I read The Declaration of Independence. I make it a habit on all holidays to spend time thinking about what we are honoring. The Fourth is my favorite American holiday, it’s barbecues, fireworks, baseball, and […]
Welcome to a writing while watching the Met game edition of Wise Madness. Let’s see if I can gather enough concentration. Yesterday was not a good day. The weather wasn’t good, I didn’t take my walk, the only time I left the apartment was a quick run to the local supermarket. I bought comfort food, […]
Yesterday’s adventure was the penultimate Sunset Singing Circle. I had missed two weeks in a row, one week it wasn’t held and the next week I got sick; I needed my fix. Fred and I always eat at The View at Battery Park before the show; yesterday morning when I tried to make a reservation […]
I’m writing a rare pre-9AM edition of Wise Madness. I used to do this all the time. I’d write before I left home to teach. Last I left you I said that I would call a friend and try to hang out today. That didn’t happen, I listened to the Met game instead. I don’t […]
After going days without writing here is my second Gord’s Gold in 15 hours. This is another incredibly happy entry with surprise extra happiness as David Wax Museum joined by Alec Spiegelman just started a pop-up livestream and that’s my soundtrack while writing. For 20 years the most common element of Wise Madness has been […]
Yesterday’s dilemma was whether or not to go on the Donut Walk™. I’ve gone twice since I threw my back out. One time it was not worth the pain. I had trouble making it home. The other time wasn’t as bad, but part of that was chance. There was a hard surface I could put […]
