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 […]

Within You Without You

Last thing I told you was that I was starting three days of volunteering at WFUV. I thought that the only way I’d have time to blog is if I could do it from the station. That plan had to be abandoned when they decided to up security on the computers we use to take […]

Radar in a Roman Field

Welcome to a not feeling human until afternoon edition of Wise Madness. I discussed this with my psychiatrist yesterday and it finally got through my sleep dulled head that this might not be depression; that the reason I’m so sleepy is my sleep apnea. Depression and anxiety might exacerbate it, but I bet the main […]

Live From There

I had good reasons to start writing this late. I was out late, I slept late, I had to watch part one of Crisis on Infinite Earths, then the aftershow, then I cleaned out the fridge and took a shower. That took me to 40 minutes ago. I have no excuse for not writing then. […]

God and Morality

Once again, I gave into temptation and had a Popeye’s chicken sandwich for dinner instead of cooking. It’s right by the supermarket, I intended on cooking what I bought. The spirit was willing, but the flesh was weak. They are really good and inexpensive. Tonight, I’m cooking. I’m listening to my possible best albums of […]

Dateline BoltBus: I’m on the bus back to New York. We are still in South Station. The data plan is so limited I’m going to just use it to post his. I’ll use my phone for everything else. Once again it was pointed out that I forgot something very important in my last entry, our […]
