A Shot in the Arm

I got my first dose of vaccine! It was the puhfizer. My appointment was for 9:45 which meant I could wake up my usual time, 8:00 but couldn’t relax as much as usual. I didn’t eat or make coffee. I was not able to arrange for a ride from Medicaid, so I walked. Taking a […]

The Folk Alliance is Cooler than the Western Alliance

Welcome to the first ever Folk Unlocked the Folk Alliance International (FAI) conference, edition of Wise Madness. I’ve been going to the NERFA (Northeast Regional Folk Alliance) conference since 2011, it’s an essential part of my year. That’s always held within a few miles from New York. FAI is always in outlandish places like Memphis, […]

Gordon’s Big Ego

I’m starving but I love My Gentle Readers so much that I’m going to write first. I didn’t write yesterday; I always feel bad when that happens. I’ll blame my therapist as she had to cancel our session for health reasons. She almost gave me a session anyway when she called to cancel. I had […]

Waiting List

Yay, I overcame lethargy and I’m writing for the first time in days. That was tough. Yesterday I went on a shopping adventure to Aldi. This directly led to an idiot story. I prefer going to Aldi on Sundays because that is the only day that the BX1 runs local; to bus stops a block […]

Don’t Cry Over Spilt Eggs

The path I followed was the human discomfort with chaos, and our preference for unfounded explanations over no explanations.

The Wisdom to Know the Difference

Yesterday got away from me and I never blogged. I went to make one call before I started and it lasted three and a half  hours. I’m not complaining. That’s the kind of thing that makes quarantining manageable. I’d rather have done that than blogged, but I’d rather remember what I was planning on writing […]

Political Theatre of the Absurd

I’m late getting to blogging and I haven’t gone shopping yet but I did get some work done today. I edited out a snippet of John Platt’s On Your Radar to post on Instagram and YouTube. I am still getting better at that. Instagram has a glitch when I post videos I can’t change the […]

The Capitol Putsch

We had an insurrection yesterday, an American Beerhall Putsch. I will address that, I have to, but let me calm myself first recounting my day. I had a pleasant morning, during breakfast, eggs Horvendile, I watched The Expanse, the best show on TV. Last Wednesday I forgot to watch. Yesterday I watched as soon as […]

Good Things

I’m sorry My Gentle Readers, blogging fled my brain this morning. Good thing I stumbled across it near the peanut butter and chocolate wafers. So now it wants to let you know that I didn’t eat the entire box, I left one package. I think that’s about 700,000 Calories. I’ve been nosh deprived and dived […]

The Best of 2020

I’m out of coffee so I’m drinking hot chocolate with breakfast instead. I love the hot chocolate, but it does not have the caffeine kick. I fell asleep before I could write. Then in the middle of the afternoon I started writing. I got a little way in when Kathy told me that there was […]
