COVID: The Quest for Poutine

I went on an expedition yesterday, a quest in search of beef gravy to make poutine. That meant heading to Stop & Shop a few miles away. On the way I finished my facemask survey. After observing 247 people the results are 62.4% of men wore masks and 61.2% of the women. We can reject […]

In Sorts

Where do all my great blogging ideas go when I start to write? I suspect they are all stuck in cushions of my comfy chair. One day I’ll take a look and will have enough for a book. I took most of yesterday off from watching streaming concerts. Of course, that means I saw all […]

Too Many Choices

I’m writing in the morning. I’m actually doing it. Now if only I had something to write about and I didn’t want to go back to sleep. Having something to write about is greatly overrated. Lord Dunsany once boasted that he could write a story about the mud at the bottom of the Thames. He […]

Social Closening

Do I go out and shop now or do I write first? Which is procrastinating? I’ll write first. After I shop I have to change and wash up. It’s now four hours later and I did neither. If that surprises you, welcome new reader of Wise Madness. I had a good excuse. I got a […]

Wow I’m writing less than 24 hours after my last post. I haven’t done that in a long time. Writing is good for me so when the muse strikes I’ll write. Can you tell I had therapy today? It was a bit frustrating. Our sessions have been cut to 30 minutes from 45. If you’ve […]

A Tale of Two Meals

Today will be a tale of meals and socializing. Yesterday I decided to splurge. My roommate and I ordered Popeye’s Chicken Sandwich Combos and had them delivered. I know I love my cooking and I love to cook but this was a nice change of pace with no cleanup. I hate cleanup. The sandwiches really […]

The Road to Hadestown Has Too Many People Not Wearing Masks

Yesterday I went on an expedition for coffee. I feel guilty about doing so but I am careful while I’m out. There was a screen between Marie and me. I made the expedition because I’m now addicted to Marie’s Coffee Roasters. I never asked if she was actually Marie but every time I’ve been there […]

Sensuality and Sad Beauty

I’ve been a bit down of late. I have all the time in the world and have skipped days writing. I have been recording Gord’s Gold. It’s my anxiety manifesting itself in new ways. I start and get anxious that I won’t be able to, and then I’m not able to. It’s classic performance anxiety. […]

Easter aka The Return of the King

Oh no, my therapy session is canceled for Good Friday. Now sure I could kill someone and win on an insanity defense, but I don’t want to kill anyone. I’ll have to find another silver lining. I did; it gives me time to leave the house. I’ve been very good about isolating but I need […]
