This is better, my third day in a row writing. I’m getting back in the groove. Now I just have to get back to writing in the morning. I’ll give myself a pass today as I was on the phone until 2:44 AM. No, I’m not totally anal. I just looked at my phone’s call […]

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 […]
I’m getting too comfortable posting every other day. As soon as I started writing this I was called on to help someone set up a streaming festival. Yes, it’s why I created Social Distancing Streaming Concerts, and I’m glad to do it, but the timing was bad. The person I’m talking to isn’t using my […]
Sorry I’ve been MIA; I’ve had Crohn’s problems since Sunday. I’ve always called it a Crohn’s attack, but my doctor doesn’t as it’s not an active inflammation, it’s an obstruction due to damage done by old flare ups. Picture the end of my small intestine, the terminal ileum, as a mass of scar tissue. Things […]

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 […]
I’m writing in the morning. I’m actually doing it. Now if only I had something to write about and I didn’t want to go back to sleep. Having something to write about is greatly overrated. Lord Dunsany once boasted that he could write a story about the mud at the bottom of the Thames. He […]

Do I go out and shop now or do I write first? Which is procrastinating? I’ll write first. After I shop I have to change and wash up. It’s now four hours later and I did neither. If that surprises you, welcome new reader of Wise Madness. I had a good excuse. I got a […]
Yesterday was Christmas, I got a delivery from Peapod. The texted me the night before and narrowed the delivery window to two hours. I got a text when it was on the way. I got a text when he got to the building. All done great. He came to my door, rang the bell, and […]
Yesterday was bleak and dreary, a perfect day to take a walk. That’s how you have to think, go out when other people won’t be going out to minimize your contact. There was even some drizzle but with my cap and hood on I didn’t feel it. I walked down the median of Mosholu Parkway […]
Wow I’m writing less than 24 hours after my last post. I haven’t done that in a long time. Writing is good for me so when the muse strikes I’ll write. Can you tell I had therapy today? It was a bit frustrating. Our sessions have been cut to 30 minutes from 45. If you’ve […]
