Instead of making excuses I’m writing before 10 AM; to what do we owe this miracle? I have no idea. I’d much rather be intellectually honest and admit my ignorance than make up a theory out of whole cloth. I had a choice of five concerts to attend last night. None were on my calendar […]

Today I finally wrap up writing about Falcon Ridge. Good thing as I’m going stir crazy at home doing nothing to write about. It’s been a weird week. I’ve done nothing and I’ve seen no one. It’s been me and the cats along with some phone calls from Bri. Sunday morning at Falcon Ridge was […]
At the rate I’m going it’s going to take me as long to write about Falcon Ridge as I spent there. Perhaps today I won’t spend so much time gushing and just cover what happened and will be able to cover more ground. Thursday was spent greeting new arrivals to our camp. Who came then? […]
Time to start the annals of Falcon Ridge 19, the chronological account. It starts on Wednesday morning when Fred picked me up. I’m not going to give a tale of our trip as it was for the most part uneventful. The only pressing question on our minds was rain. Would we be able to make […]
I’m back from Falcon Ridge. I got back eight hours ago and had ambitions to do things today including writing this hours ago. It’s hard to do that when you fall asleep sitting in your chair. I still have things to do but I won’t make My Gentle Readers wait another second. Jake J asked […]
Yesterday was Friday and that means therapy. Does everyone look forward to therapy as much as I do? Is it good or bad that I enjoy it? I hope it’s good. The therapist does challenge me and give me homework. She helps even when I’m not at therapy. The two main ways I process my […]
Yesterday was the first Friday in May, so the first Sunset Singing Circle of 2019. I only discovered it a few years ago but it started in 2002. Battery Park City started it as a response to 9/11, renewal through song. I was going to say that Terre Roche has been leading it since then […]
Last night I went to one of my favorite annual traditions, caroling with the Terre Roche and the Caroling Carolers. There were two first yesterdays, the first time in 45 years of the CCs caroling that it rained, and the first time since I friended Terre Roche on Facebook and once again started going every […]
Welcome to a clear liquid diet edition of Wise Madness. I’m having a colonoscopy tomorrow so that’s all I’m allowed to have today. Back in the old days I could eat breakfast the day before. Normally I eat nothing before blogging but as this takes no cooking and I can’t eat anything after 5PM I […]
Dateline Van Merc Hill: I hear other people awake. I could join them but it’s parent/child time so I think I’ll write till breakfast starts cooking. There are still other guests sleeping. I’m used to be the last to wake up. Yesterday was Second Thanksgiving. I think I like that even more than first Thanksgiving. […]
