As I recount my life in isolation, Wise Madness is becoming even more of a music and food blog than usual. I’m writing this while watching the Kennedys streaming on YouTube. I get great music and time with friends at the same time. Of course, it makes it hard to concentrate on my writing but […]

Blogging in the time of COVID-19 is different. My entire schedule is different. Writing in the afternoon is becoming more common. I wish it wouldn’t. Notice I’m still saying COVID-19 even if the world is saying “Novel Corona Virus.” That causes too much confusion as there are many corona viruses and what applies to one […]
Yesterday started with very little sleep. I got home late on Friday and then had an 8 AM appointment for my infusion. I am supposed to get them every 8 weeks and missed a few. This was due to and reinforced a vicious anxiety cycle. The longer I waited the more anxiety I had about […]
Since I wrote yesterday I’ve had therapy, made poutine, see The Bee Eaters with Sean Watson, and gotten an infusion. I could say that I’m tired just thinking about it but that’s a lie. I’m tired because I got home after 1 AM and my infusion was at 8 AM and I didn’t sleep well. […]
Welcome to a rare early afternoon edition of Wise Madness. My soundtrack is WFUV‘s Sunday Supper hosted by John Platt. At least when I start. It was a long day and it might take more than the show’s remaining 45 minutes for me finish. It was long because I went on four county, two state, […]

This series was Devlin Miles and Carolann Solebello’s attempt to recreate a Nashville songwriters in the round in New York. It always featured one of them and two guests. For the last session they both participated, and […]

Yesterday was a busy day; I better get busy writing. My first stop was the Social Security Administration Card Center. I have to replace my card which was in my stolen wallet. I had no luck doing it online, that’s not the SSA’s fault, it’s because of my unusual circumstances. I got frustrated when I […]
I’m still behind on my blogging. I’m going to try to write about two days in one entry. There is a common thread between them. Sunday was Super Bowl Sunday, so I went to a concert. It’s not cause and effect but it happens often. The concert was in the afternoon so people can do […]
It’s Monday and I haven’t written since Thursday. I’ve been busy and that means I have a lot to catch up on. I’m not sure how I’ll do this, go light on details or write multiple entries or one very long entry. None of those appeal to me. I’ll improvise like Pat Mahomes on a […]
Today is Mozart’s birthday so my writing soundtrack is Die Zauberflöte. I’m trying to be consistent and use the original language version of Opera titles. The world has not been consistent during my lifetime. Growing up it was always The Magic Flute but never The Rhine Gold. I still can’t say The Girl of the […]
