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, […]

Lead Us Not Into Penn Station

Occasionally there are benefits to being me. I got an email from WFUV on Thursday asking me if I wanted tickets to see Richard Thompson on Friday night. RT is tied with Rhiannon Giddens for my favorite of favorites and I was free so of course I said yes. I went with my WFUV volunteering […]

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 […]

My therapist is sick and canceled. That upsets my coffee plan. I have none in the house but figured I’d stop at the Dunkin’ Donuts at the Harrison train station, get my free Dunkin’ Perks beverage of my choice, and buy coffee beans. Now what? I’ll make hot chocolate with my breakfast; I can live […]

Deni Day I Spend Time with Emily is a Good One.

Yesterday’s plan was to go to therapy, go shopping, and then to see Deni Bonet at Paddy Reilly’s Music Bar. I ended up not shopping as I forgot to bring my shopping bags with me to therapy but more importantly, I was surprisingly joined by Emily at Deni’s show. This is surprising as Emily lives […]

Party Like It’s 2020

The after I had to skip blogging because I didn’t have enough time I had sleep issues and couldn’t start blogging until 3:18. Sometimes things aren’t fair. Even now I’m fighting to stay alert enough to write. Am I starting with to excuse any problems with this entry? Not consciously. I always feel the need […]

That Was the Year That Was

I was going to go shopping yesterday but couldn’t face the rain. My mother would say, “What? Your made of sugar?” I have double plans for today and tomorrow, so I don’t know what I’ll do. Today I’m going to the New York Botanical Garden Train Show with Allison and Joe and then to my […]

The Carol of the Village

Last night I went Christmas caroling with Terre Roche and friends, both Terre’s and mine. This is a highlight of every year and this year is no exception. Terre has been doing this every year since 1978 or so. I started in 1990, took a break when I lost touch with Terre and didn’t know […]

Between the Drive and the Caroling

The three day WFUV member drive is over, so my life is back to normal. The plan yesterday was to volunteer for seven hours, 6 AM – 1 PM and then go to therapy. Then my therapist had to cancel. I figured I’d stay until 1 and then go shopping. But the supervisor that was […]
