Blackout Steak

Dateline: Teacher’s Lounge I seem to have lost my man cave. One of the administrators has started using it as her office. Let’s see if I can write while two teachers are talking. To help I have started a deep dive into progressive rock. My co-teacher was explaining composition of functions and said you work […]

What’s So Funny About Peace, Love, and Understanding

Last night I went to a concert, that’s not unusual. What is unusual is who I saw and where I saw it. It was Elvis Costello at the Pier 17 Rooftop. Me seeing a dinosaur of Rock and Roll not named Richard Thompson? Yes, as much folk as I listen to, I’m still a rocker. […]

Oh My Darling

Good morning campers! Last night I went to see Dar Williams at City Winery; life is returning to normal. I’m even getting my commuting mojo back. I wasn’t going to eat there and had a reserved seat, so I forced myself to not plan on getting there an hour early. That takes an effort on […]

What Rhymes with Madonna and is Clear as a Bell?

Sorry I’ve been MIA. Now I have a lot to write about. I’ve back to being a live music junky. Monday? What did I do Monday? that was so long ago. I know I went to see Michaela Anne at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2. There were train issues, so I got there only shortly […]

Stomped Eggshells

Good afternoon My Gentle Readers. I’m still procrastinating but at least I’m writing while the sun is out, even if it is hiding behind clouds and raindrops. I wrote that, the phone rang, and now it’s an hour later. After commenting that I had not used my voice in days I’ve now had 7 phone […]

Bye Bye Love

I traveled 43 miles by train yesterday. That seems short but it’s what the Google Maps summary says. I might be misinterpreting it. It was a peripatetic day. As most Fridays do it started with therapy, or more accurately getting to therapy. Yesterday that means walking half a mile and taking a bus half a […]

Restless

I disappointed myself yesterday. I had three things to do, one was very important; Go to Social Security for a new card, go food shopping, and see The Restless Age at Rockwood. I left the house so late that I thought I might have to sacrifice the concert. Nope, I left so late that the […]

Whisperado

I have things to write about today including more on the crime of the century, my wallet being snatched. I got a call from the detective working my case; he asked me to come down to the station to view videotape. This was not the same station I went to the night of the crime, […]

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 […]

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 […]
