Wise MadnessI stayed home yesterday and somehow managed to not do my laundry. That takes true procrastination talent. It was one of those days that I fell asleep in the afternoon and had no energy. I do not like those days. It could well be a manifestation of depression. I sometimes think my brain makes up […]
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 […]
It’s tough being a liberal. Our moral center is that everyone has inherent worth, that everyone has the ability to improve, that that there is no us against them, that everyone is part of us. What makes it tough is that we have to argue against the tribalists without becoming tribalists. The temptation is so […]
A few weeks ago, I reserved a copy of A Storm of Swords, the third Song if Ice and Fire aka Game of Thrones book. That was far to difficult to say. It’s HBO’s fault. If they had titled the TV series the same as the book series, Song of Ice and Fire, instead of […]
Yesterday was exciting, I did my first ever early vote. As soon as the Democrats gained full control of the New York State government, they instituted it. Things worked out particularly well as this is an off-year election, the perfect time to work out the kinks. I was not pleased with my assigned early voting […]
Sorry I didn’t write yesterday. I always have things to write about, there’s a constant stream of ideas in my head, but often they move to fast for me to catch. When it comes to politics one problem is deciding on my audience. The reality is that most of My Gentle Readers broadly agree with […]
I’m trying something different, writing this directly on WordPress using their text editor We’ll see how this comes out. I want to write more about Hamilton. It’s one of the landmark musicals, one that represents something truly new. It’s remarkable how it accomplished that while staying true to many recent musicals, by using traditional forms. The […]
I didn’t write today but as I can’t write tomorrow I should try and write something now. Let’s see how this goes. It will be short and personal. As I mentioned in an earlier post, I’m not in a good place mentally right now. I am depressed. I’m don’t want to get out of bed […]
Last night I went to a training session to be an Elizabeth Warren volunteer. You’ll be hearing a lot more about Liz on Wise Madness and my Facebook and Instagram accounts. Notice that she’s now Liz; she’s gone straight from a last name to a nickname. I’m more comfortable supporting Liz than Warren especially as […]
Last night I went to the big Elizabeth Warren rally at Washington Square Park. It ostensibly started at 7 but they announced that doors were at 4. Doors at Washington Square Park? Apparently the closed off the park as they set up. You had to register or check in to go. I registered as soon […]
