The Au Rule

I forgot to blog today. How did that happen? It’s not like I had so much to do. I was scheduled to have my infusion today. Snow was forecast so I suspected it might get canceled. When I woke up my phone screamed at me. It was an Emergency Weather Alert. There was an official […]

A Day in the Life

I’m not following my normal Sunday schedule. I tried recording Gord’s Gold between one and two PM. At 1:05 I got a notification on my phone that my Amazon delivery was one stop away. As I didn’t want to be interrupted I decided to wait until it arrived to start. I realized that was not […]

I’m practicing what I preach this afternoon. With the new strains of COVID-19 we need to be even more careful. I found KN95 masks 10 for $10 and bought a pack. They don’t arrive until Tuesday. My plan was to go to Aldi today. The bus stops much closer to me on Sundays and I’m […]

Strange and Unusual

Today’s writing soundtrack is Il Trovetore on Met Opera Presents on WQXR. That was one of my father’s favorites but all I know about it is the Anvil Chorus. I don’t know why I felt compelled to tell you that, but I did. It has nothing to do with what I’m writing about. I’m not […]

This should be the greatest edition of Wise Madness ever! Why? I’ve had not my usual two cups but four cups of coffee. After six you can move things with your mind. After eight travel through space and time, after 10 you gain the powers of a god. Is this news to anybody? This should […]

I’m late getting to blogging and I haven’t gone shopping yet but I did get some work done today. I edited out a snippet of John Platt’s On Your Radar to post on Instagram and YouTube. I am still getting better at that. Instagram has a glitch when I post videos I can’t change the […]

Radar Party

Last night was the second Tuesday of the month and that means John Platt’s On Your Radar. John’s guests were The Bright Siders, Shanna in a Dress, and Izzy Heltai. A month ago, the only ones I knew were The Bright Siders, I’ve known Kristin Andreassen forever, Critter through Kristin, and Kari for close to […]

What’s Up Doc?

I love when I’m reminded how much I love something, yesterday it was peanut butter omelets. I need to make them more often. Oddly, they work best with fake peanut butter, the kinds you don’t have to mix. In all other cases I prefer unadulterated peanut butter without sugar or emulsifiers. I used to call […]

To Tell the Truth

When I write I turn on the classical music station WQXR or listen to instrumental jazz, as they are less distracting. This doesn’t work when WQXR plays Largo al Factotum from The Rabbit of Seville. It’s over. Paul Calvalconte is following it with William Grant Still’s Wood Notes, excellent music to work to. I was […]

Good Things

I’m sorry My Gentle Readers, blogging fled my brain this morning. Good thing I stumbled across it near the peanut butter and chocolate wafers. So now it wants to let you know that I didn’t eat the entire box, I left one package. I think that’s about 700,000 Calories. I’ve been nosh deprived and dived […]
