Chaos for Pesach

I have things to write about today. Is that enough or do you want the details? You guys are so demanding. Fine, I can’t say no to My Gentle Readers. Last night we had the Seder, so I had to prepare for Pesach (Passover). No, I didn’t burn the chametz. I still have plenty of […]

A Tale of Four Counties

Welcome to a rare early afternoon edition of Wise Madness. My soundtrack is WFUV‘s Sunday Supper hosted by John Platt. At least when I start. It was a long day and it might take more than the show’s remaining 45 minutes for me finish. It was long because I went on four county, two state, […]

Best Blog By a Male Writer

I knew exactly what I was going to write earlier but then had to go out. Now I have no idea what to write. Maybe if I write about the interruption it will come to me. Yesterday I told you that I had buy coffee beans and was going to get it at the local […]

It’s Good to Be a Jew or Muslim at Christmas

I am going to fight the sleepiness, write my blog, and then pound out five segments for my Best Albums of 2019 Show for Folk Music Notebook. This will require a lot of coffee. Speaking of which, I have to fit a trip to the store in there, I’ll almost out of coffee and I […]

The Zen of Politics

Yesterday I stayed home and never got out of my pjs. Why? I’m an idiot; I was supposed to go to a latke party at Carol and Jeff’s house. I remembered that one minute before it was supposed to start. They live an hour and a half away so that wasn’t going to happen. I […]

Halloween Returns

I tried to watch Superman Returns yesterday. I was not successful. There is a limit to how much stupidity I can handle. I’m a guy that loves superhero films; I’m no snob, but I expect some semblance of reason. I can’t suspend my disbelief enough to accept that anyone would fill a plane that’s being […]

El Awrence

Yesterday I did something I have not done in countless years; I went to the movies with Carey. This is noteworthy as it is something that we use to do just about every week. My cataracts were a big part of this, I couldn’t enjoy movies when I couldn’t see. There was more though, just […]

Once Upon A Time in My Brain

I scared myself, I forgot what I did yesterday. Now I remember so I can blog. I went to see Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. By coincidence the night before I watched his Inglourious Basterds; I had a Tarantino double feature. When you watch a Tarantino film you know you are going […]

Dazed and Infused

Facebook exposes me to things that I wouldn’t otherwise experience. Like everyone else in the world I live in a bubble, I interact with a limited number of people and they are far from a random sampling. On Facebook I see posts from people I wouldn’t talk to and see otherwise hidden sides of people […]
