Welcome to the Wise Madness of the Biden era. I watched an inauguration for only the second time of my life, the first was 2009, Obama’s first. I didn’t watch alone, thanks to Zoom I watched with Katherine, Beth, Alison, and Sylvia. That made a big difference, I live blogged through Obama’s. This time I […]

This should be the greatest edition of Wise Madness ever! Why? I’ve had not my usual two cups but four cups of coffee. After six you can move things with your mind. After eight travel through space and time, after 10 you gain the powers of a god. Is this news to anybody? This should […]
I’m feeling good this morning even if I didn’t get quite enough sleep. Last night I got a late long phone call, just what I love, and when I hung out I recorded Gord’s Gold. None of that kept me up that late but it pumped my adrenaline. It was the opposite of feeling out […]
When I write I turn on the classical music station WQXR or listen to instrumental jazz, as they are less distracting. This doesn’t work when WQXR plays Largo al Factotum from The Rabbit of Seville. It’s over. Paul Calvalconte is following it with William Grant Still’s Wood Notes, excellent music to work to. I was […]
Wow, I’m starting to write at 9:22 like I’m supposed to. I also woke up before my alarm. Maybe my body is getting past the pandemic blurring of time. That would be nice. Or maybe it’s the drugs. We’ll get to the drugs in a bit. Yesterday I had my colonoscopy. Those who follow me […]
I’m sorry My Gentle Readers, blogging fled my brain this morning. Good thing I stumbled across it near the peanut butter and chocolate wafers. So now it wants to let you know that I didn’t eat the entire box, I left one package. I think that’s about 700,000 Calories. I’ve been nosh deprived and dived […]
I need to write, and I need to buy potatoes. I’ll write first as that does not require moving. I talked to Brian on the phone yesterday, the first time in a while. While we were on the phone the front doorbell rang. I shouted, “I’ll be right there I’m getting a mask.” As I […]

It’s a Wonderful Film
I’m trying to prepare my best of 2020 show, but I took time out to watch It’s a Wonderful Life, and that reset my mood. I’m now firmly ensconced in Christmas. It makes no difference that I’m not a Christian and if you asked me what person born on Christmas Day changed the world, I’d […]

I am becoming holiday music. That’s what happens when I prepare a holiday show. Here’s a sneak peek, there will be music by RUNA, The Sea the Sea, Barnaby Bright, and the cast of Hadestown. That’s how far I got writing yesterday. What happened? I looked at my playlist to see what musicians I should […]
My therapy appointment yesterday was for 11 AM. It’s a phone session and I get ready by plugging in my earbuds a few minutes early. When the buds are plugged in I have it set so the phone answers without me doing anything. At 11:03 the phone rang, and I said, “Hi Connie,” and what […]
