Dateline Assonet MA: Welcome to the New Bedford Folk Festival edition of Wise Madness; perhaps just part one. We’ll see how this goes. Every year I drive up with Mike. The festival starts Saturday morning so instead of leaving New York very early Saturday we left in mid-afternoon Friday. I do the same thing at […]

Fire in the Streets

I’m off to the New Bedford Folk Festival today. Too bad my digestive system is unhappy. It’s an obstruction from the scar tissue in my small intestine. This time I didn’t eat anything stupid. I’m just paying for a lifetime of Crohn’s disease. All the years I had no insurance and as off meds did […]

Caramoor or Less

It’s been three days since I posted. That’s what happens when I go out early two days in a row. Now I have to write this before I go out today. Even I can’t call leaving a 2 o’clock early. It is early but if I admit that, you’ll think less of me. I’ve now […]

Two-Time Loser

Fridays always start the same, I go to therapy. The highlight of the session was when my therapist said I was a “a little bit of a sociopath.” She then added, “You’re going to put that in your blog, aren’t you?” I can’t disappoint us. I have an unusual relationship with my therapist. I think […]

The Last Homely House

Dateline Van Merc Hill: Thanksgiving with Emily and Joe’s family is a lot like NERFA; I spend the day in my jammies, I don’t go outside, there’s lots of music, and I stay up late with other people. Friday is the day of rest between first and second Thanksgiving. I attempted to edit photos starting […]

Thank You For Reading This

I spent another day at home. The worst part is that I didn’t get my phone fixed. I’ve been editing and posting pictures fromNERFA and impressed at how well the pictures came out before I damaged the camera lens. My phone camera does something my real camera doesn’t do, give me continuous control of white […]

I was a dirty-stay-out-late, as my parents would say, partying to all hours of the night. I was at the Hudson West Folk Festival volunteer party.

You Can’t Judge a Human By Its Cover

My therapist has me make a list of my achievements; today’s is registering for NERFA. Now I have to find a roommate. Registering is difficult for me, it’s an anxiety trigger; most monetary transactions are. I rarely get a roommate and registered with much time to spare. Fortunately, NERFA is understanding of my problems and […]
