I’m writing my first think piece in quite a while. When I started Wise Madness it was my intention to write mainly think pieces. I discovered it’s hard to come up with something new every day, it’s even harder to remember the ideas, and posting them causes anxiety. I’m always afraid how people will take […]

I decided to move my day up by half an hour. That’s nothing, people make that kind of change every weekend. I move up my day three and a half hours when WFUV has its member drives. Yet I’ve been tired the two days since I made the change. Maybe it’s coincidence and it’s just […]
For years I’ve set my alarm on weekday mornings for 8:30. I decided last night to move my schedule up half an hour and wake up at 8:00. The alarm went off, I woke up, turned off the alarm, and fell right back to sleep and didn’t wake up until 8:29. This adjustment might take […]
I’m back in good health, not 100% but close enough for government work. Last night I felt good enough to try eating and had breakfast for dinner, poached eggs, cheese, and ham on naan. I lived. This morning, technically afternoon I had breakfast for lunch, sausageeggandcheese on naan. I survived! There’s no discomfort. In the […]

Citizen Idiot
How did it get so late? Oh yeah, that time thing; it even passes when I’m taking a nap. I hate this not getting enough sleep business. Enough of that, I have a tale to tell. It’s full of sound and fury and told by an idiot. When I left the house I knew that […]
Sometimes fate helps me write Wise Madness. I had today’s entry planned out for days without any tie in to my personal life. Yesterday, right on time, the topic affected me. I’ll let the story unfold. Jane is back in City Island trying to get her apartment in order and I went over to help […]

The Conscience of the King
Today is Martin Luther King Day. Why do we have holidays? It isn’t just so we can have three-day-weekend getaways, important as that is. We have holidays to remind us of things we need to never forget, the struggle for Independence, those that died in war, the things we are thankful for, the struggles of […]

Mea Culpa
I stayed in yesterday which means I have to fall back on my ideas bin. There is only one thing in the phone version and it’s difficult to write, it’s a Mea Culpa. I’ll bite the bullet and write about being wrong. But first of course, the minutiae of my life.
