Bonny but No Clyde

Yesterday was a busy day; I better get busy writing. My first stop was the Social Security Administration Card Center. I have to replace my card which was in my stolen wallet. I had no luck doing it online, that’s not the SSA’s fault, it’s because of my unusual circumstances. I got frustrated when I […]

Adventures in Red Hook

I’m still behind on my blogging. I’m going to try to write about two days in one entry. There is a common thread between them. Sunday was Super Bowl Sunday, so I went to a concert. It’s not cause and effect but it happens often. The concert was in the afternoon so people can do […]

Music, Trains, and Theft

I’m not tired this morning. Maybe I can catch up on my blogging. It’s now Tuesday and I’m only up to blogging about Saturday. I’ve been doing blogworthy things every day since then. Once again perhaps I’ll compress in an attempt to catch up. Saturday I was off to day 2 of the first annual […]

Enumerating What Happened on Friday

It’s Monday and I haven’t written since Thursday. I’ve been busy and that means I have a lot to catch up on. I’m not sure how I’ll do this, go light on details or write multiple entries or one very long entry. None of those appeal to me. I’ll improvise like Pat Mahomes on a […]

Not the Partridge Family

I’m very happy that I managed to get myself out of the house yesterday and down to Brooklyn to see Steph Jenkins at a solar powered house concert. You can take that as solar-powered-house concert or solar-powered house-concert. They are both accurate. The house it was held in is solar powered, courtesy of Brooklyn SolarWorks. […]

Say Cello to My Friend, Marimba

Yesterday’s adventures are pretty much the essence of being me. It has music, an idiot stories, food, and not getting things done. Our adventure starts with me falling asleep in the middle of writing yesterday’s entry. When I woke up I found myself very much pressed for time and neglected to write about things I […]

Red Birds and Kaia

Sorry, no exciting tales of crime and police today. Yesterday was a much more typical day in Wise Madness land; there was music, music, and more music. I will admit that I enjoyed the increased readership. I write for myself, but blogging is a form of communication and requires readers. It’s why I teased it […]

APAP Schmear

My therapist is sick and canceled. That upsets my coffee plan. I have none in the house but figured I’d stop at the Dunkin’ Donuts at the Harrison train station, get my free Dunkin’ Perks beverage of my choice, and buy coffee beans. Now what? I’ll make hot chocolate with my breakfast; I can live […]

Top of the Charts is Coming

I didn’t blog yesterday and waited until almost three to start today? What’s up with me? Let’s blame the sleep apnea. In this case that’s legit; sleep apnea and procrastination. I knew that Ron Olesko wanted to air my top album of 2019 show on Folk Music Notebook some time between Christmas and New Year’s. […]

A Scandal in Bohemia

Slow start today and now I have to rush. Yesterday that cost me seeing The Hot Jazz Jumpers at the New York Vintage Train Underground Swing and Jazz Festival. I was able to get myself out of the house to see Scott Wolfson and Other Heroes at the newly reopened Café Bohemia. It’s been far […]
