Put a Circle Around It

After going days without writing here is my second Gord’s Gold in 15 hours. This is another incredibly happy entry with surprise extra happiness as David Wax Museum joined by Alec Spiegelman just started a pop-up livestream and that’s my soundtrack while writing. For 20 years the most common element of Wise Madness has been […]

Blowin’ In The Wind

Welcome to a rare late-night edition of Wise Madness. I used to do this all the time. I’m doing it now because I have fallen so far behind, Tonight I’ll write about Friday and tomorrow about today. We’ll leave the rest of the time since I last wrote as a mystery as it clearly wasn’t […]

A Nebulous Post

Yesterday’s dilemma was whether or not to go on the Donut Walk™. I’ve gone twice since I threw my back out. One time it was not worth the pain. I had trouble making it home. The other time wasn’t as bad, but part of that was chance. There was a hard surface I could put […]

Back to the Future

Sorry I didn’t write yesterday. I can’t believe how long I waited to start today. Everything in my life seems to be on hold but Gord’s Gold. That’s the one thing that I can always work on. Today I got a box of CDs and a digital download. That a lot of listening homework. What […]

Coffee Crisis

I have an emergency here. I went to make coffee and the water I turned off! There was no warning about this from the building management. What do I do? Stand next to the sink until water starts coming out? Go back and check every 5 minutes which could mean going an extra 5 minutes […]

Donuts and Breathing: The keys to Health

I did not go on a Donut Walk™ yesterday. That’s sad as on Mondays Krispy Kreme also gives you a free coffee. The reason is I had to go food shopping and Aldi is in the opposite direction. It was drizzling so I did not get much waking in either. That’s as far as I […]

Fast Recovery

Yesterday did not go well; I slept through much of it. That hasn’t happened since I started taking my Donut Walks™. I should have forced myself to go on the walk early but didn’t because I was expecting a delivery from Amazon. The irony is that it was my new French press; indirectly coffee was […]

Back to Not Walking

I’m not taking a Donut Walk™ today. I woke up with my back hurting and decided that’s my body’s way of saying, “take a day off.” I thought my arthritis was in remission but perhaps it’s just that I went a year putting hardly any stress on it. I have not been wearing my backpack […]

Snailmail

I forgot to write yesterday. That’s partially because I was good and worked on Gord’s Gold. The show is streamed on Tuesday night and I finished it last night. I beat my old record for early finish by more than 24 hours! I get good enough at this maybe I can expand to two hours […]

Supermarket Singer

Remember how yesterday I said that I was sick, but it wasn’t Crohn’s, it was because I ate an entire box of cookies? That was wrong, it was Crohn’s albeit perhaps triggered by overeating cookies. I did not eat anything yesterday, I hardly moved. I slept about half the day. That’s what happens when my […]
