Music and the Garden

Usually I’ve had nothing to write about in the age of COVID-19. Then I was too busy to write yesterday about what happened on Saturday and now I have too much to write about. After all that I bet this will be short. I can pretty much summarize it in one sentence; “I love my […]

A Dream Within a Dream

I spent all day yesterday working on my fantasy baseball league draft at 8 PM. We could log in at 7 and it was my intention to do so and ask some questions I had about the format We have never done an ESPN league before. I was a little late making dinner and logged […]

The Birth of a Blogger

I’ve procrastinated enough, time for a report on my birthday. Let’s start with breakfast. I wasn’t sure of what treat to make myself then Becky Bliss sent me birthday wishes that included a peanut butter omelet. That’s what I ate. Becky didn’t give me the omelet; she gave me the idea. I haven’t had that […]

Gentle Arms of Dave Carter

A rare nighttime edition of Wise Madness. This is tough as I’m listening to Tracy Grammer and Jim Henry do a Dave Carter tribute. If you want to call Dave the greatest songwriter of his generation I’ll agree. If you want to call him the greatest song writer ever I won’t argue. Everyone thinks of […]

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, […]

Silly Putty

Socially isolating makes blogging difficult. I used to write about what I did when I went out. Now I never go out except to go shopping. What am I left with? I tell you who I spoke to on the phone but that’s a lot more fun to do that to read about. That’s especially […]

People Watching

I’m in an odd emotional space. I’ve been angry at much of what I’m hearing from people. I’m not talking about the news; I’m talking social media. It’s not all political. As I’ve said I don’t like being angry. I try to calm myself. I remind myself that it’s not my job to correct everyone […]

Annoying People and Friends

I haven’t left the house since my last post, or have I? I think I did. I went to get a refill of fluoxetine. Who knows what that is without looking it up? It’s generic Prozac. It’s not how I think of it, but I should learn to. That’s what it says on the bottle. […]

Masking Priorities

I’ll try a nighttime edition of Wise Madness. Weird day: I didn’t get much done but I had lots of things good for my mental health since I last wrote. In the space of 24 hours I spoke to Carolann, New York Carey, River, and Katrina. River and Katrina are about the same age and […]

Waiting for Not Godot

I’ve become a waiter. I’m sitting here waiting for UPS to pick up my Amazon return, the one I waited all day yesterday for them to pick up, and I’m waiting for someone at the Bronx office of the NYC board of elections to talk to me about my missing absentee ballot. I’ve been waiting […]
