Anticrastination

I hate when I fall behind in blogging. I didn’t blog yesterday but today I’m busy watching the Philadelphia Folk Festival. I was fortunate enough to have a friend gift me a ticket for today. This is where Gordon Privilege come in. I’m uncomfortable with most uses of “privilege.” Being treated the way everyone should […]

The Birth of a Blogger

I’ve procrastinated enough, time for a report on my birthday. Let’s start with breakfast. I wasn’t sure of what treat to make myself then Becky Bliss sent me birthday wishes that included a peanut butter omelet. That’s what I ate. Becky didn’t give me the omelet; she gave me the idea. I haven’t had that […]

Gentle Arms of Dave Carter

A rare nighttime edition of Wise Madness. This is tough as I’m listening to Tracy Grammer and Jim Henry do a Dave Carter tribute. If you want to call Dave the greatest songwriter of his generation I’ll agree. If you want to call him the greatest song writer ever I won’t argue. Everyone thinks of […]

The Adventure of Artemis Fowl and My Neuroses

I’m writing less than 24-hours since my last entry. Maybe there’s hope for me yet. I wouldn’t bet on it. I know me. Last night I watched Artemis Fowl. See how cool I am? I watched it the day it was released. Well the day after it was released. Fine I’m not cool and I’m […]

Crystal Clear

Was the most exciting thing that happened to me yesterday my first cold brew coffee of the year? It might be. I wonder if what I like about it is just how it’s made. If there were a blind taste test would I know the difference between it and regular iced coffee? Would most people? […]

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 […]

My Journey to Musical Nexus

My life is so boring now that I should do some creative writing. I did write a poem while in the bathroom at 6:30 AM. I’m surprised I remember that I wrote it; I forgot until this moment. I recorded it as a voice memo on my phone. I think this is the first time […]

The Root of Amazing

I’m remarkably busy for someone for the most part staying at home. Social Distancing Streaming Concerts is taking up a lot of my time. It’s taking off wonderfully. I have to work on scheduling the staff so that it’s always someone’s job to reply to people and post shows. I wrote that last sentence half […]

Yesterday was the second Tuesday of the month and that means I went to John Platt’s On Your Radar. This month’s guests were Damn Tall Buildings, South for Winter, and Jared Feinman. In the morning I had an appointment with my gastroenterologist who is my de facto primary care physician. I last saw her in […]
