Wise Madness
I’m back! I heard live music two nights in a row! Last night I went to Mary O’s for their Thursday night Irish Session. I tried to go to last week’s Thursday night Irish Session, but I had a flaw in my plan, it was Friday. The devil is in the details. Sadly, that means […]
Yesterday I was a real American, I watched the Super Bowl. I timed things well. I sat down to eat dinner as Amanda Gorman was about to read her poem. She has become a celebrity poet. Have we had one before? Maybe Robert Frost but I was too young to remember that well. The Super […]
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 […]
I’ve been better about blogging every day but missed yesterday. I’ll blame therapy as it serves something of the same purpose for me. The thoughts bounce around my head with such force that they hurt if I don’t let them out. Right now, my thoughts are on bacon. I ran out of bacon about a […]
Let’s see if I can recreate the passion that I felt when I was planning this blog yesterday. I was out for a walk and inspiration was flowing through me. I got home and got tired and took a nap. This is the story the current state of my psyche. I’ll try to work up […]
My life is so boring now that I should do some creative writing. I did write a poem while in the bathroom at 6:30 AM. I’m surprised I remember that I wrote it; I forgot until this moment. I recorded it as a voice memo on my phone. I think this is the first time […]
I’m back from Falcon Ridge. I got back eight hours ago and had ambitions to do things today including writing this hours ago. It’s hard to do that when you fall asleep sitting in your chair. I still have things to do but I won’t make My Gentle Readers wait another second. Jake J asked […]
Last night I saw Hadestown for the second time. The show just opened. I bought the ticket in a pre-sale for people who had followed Hadestown on Facebook, or maybe Anaïs Mitchell’s Website. That is the only way I could afford to see this. I bought them the day they went on sale and were […]
Yesterday was not Friday but I still had to make my way up to Harrison. I had an appointment with Loran to help me with my Medicaid recertification. The paperwork is not simple, they make you jump through hoops. I was very glad for the help, it was well worth the trip up there. I […]
