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 […]

Just the Facts Ma’am

I got a call last night from Marc to ask why I hadn’t claimed my fantasy baseball team in our league. That’s not unusual. That’s one of the ways my anxiety manifests itself. I have made progress and thought I was past that. I am. I never got the email telling me the team was […]

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 […]

Who Was That Unmasked Man?

I should have written this two hour ago, better late than never. I had another good day yesterday. Not as exciting as Sunday when I heard live music and at a restaurant with a friend. Yesterday’s accomplishments were sitting in for Tragedy Ann’s John Platt’s On Your Radar tech rehearsal. Rob Hinkal directs the show. […]

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, […]

It’s a Shame

I didn’t write yesterday; that always makes me feel bad. Blogger is part of my self-image. Before I was a blogger I was a thinker. Blogging is just writing down my thoughts. The problem comes when I don’t want to share my thoughts. I’ve fallen back into my “Why can’t people learn to think!” mode. […]

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. […]
