Sailor on Leave

Yesterday I had my best day in four months and it pretty much feels like the best day ever. I’m like a sailor on shore leave but instead of indulging in booze, women, and tattoos, I went for music, friends, and Thai food. Albeit the friend I spent the most time with is a woman, […]

Nun But The Brave

I’m starting my writing to the Carmen Fantasy of Pablo de Sarasate. How does that work? It’s based on Bizet’s Carmen? Does copyright not apply? That’s not why I mentioned it. It’s just that I love it. I’m all for the intellectual and prefer Wagner but you have to work to not love Carmen; the […]

The Masked Evangelist

I went on a shopping expedition yesterday. I have become someone less virtuous and took the bus both ways. If I go on Sundays the bus is not the limited which makes fewer stops. The local stops at the end of my block instead of having to walk half a mile. That was too hard […]

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 […]

The Show Went On

Yesterday was the first streamed edition of John Platt’s On Your Radar. I was the one that suggested streaming to John and so I feel somewhat responsible for it, which leads to anxiety and self-doubt. A great load was taken off me when Rob Hinkal agreed to run the tech end. He’s great at that […]

Virtue ====> Me

There’s an evil force at work slowing down my posting. I started writing this yesterday morning. I got interrupted and didn’t even save what I had. I then forgot to get back to it. I got ready to start writing this morning, my phone rang, and I took a meeting with Deni. Notice the self-important, […]

Streaming Postcards From The Edge

Welcome to a rare post-therapy edition of Wise Madness. My phone appointment was for 9:30. Good thing I had a restful night’s sleep. All that has to do with is how well I breathe during the night. I even woke up 15 minutes before my alarm went off at 8:00. I didn’t get to blog […]

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? […]

COVID: The Quest for Poutine

I went on an expedition yesterday, a quest in search of beef gravy to make poutine. That meant heading to Stop & Shop a few miles away. On the way I finished my facemask survey. After observing 247 people the results are 62.4% of men wore masks and 61.2% of the women. We can reject […]

In Sorts

Where do all my great blogging ideas go when I start to write? I suspect they are all stuck in cushions of my comfy chair. One day I’ll take a look and will have enough for a book. I took most of yesterday off from watching streaming concerts. Of course, that means I saw all […]
