Yesterday got away from me and I never blogged. I went to make one call before I started and it lasted three and a half hours. I’m not complaining. That’s the kind of thing that makes quarantining manageable. I’d rather have done that than blogged, but I’d rather remember what I was planning on writing […]

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 […]
This should be the greatest edition of Wise Madness ever! Why? I’ve had not my usual two cups but four cups of coffee. After six you can move things with your mind. After eight travel through space and time, after 10 you gain the powers of a god. Is this news to anybody? This should […]
I’m late getting to blogging and I haven’t gone shopping yet but I did get some work done today. I edited out a snippet of John Platt’s On Your Radar to post on Instagram and YouTube. I am still getting better at that. Instagram has a glitch when I post videos I can’t change the […]
I love when I’m reminded how much I love something, yesterday it was peanut butter omelets. I need to make them more often. Oddly, they work best with fake peanut butter, the kinds you don’t have to mix. In all other cases I prefer unadulterated peanut butter without sugar or emulsifiers. I used to call […]
Yesterday’s highlight was the performance of one of favorite holiday rituals, the Tannenbaum defenestration. This was only my second time observing the ritual. I’m Jewish, I might sing Christmas carols, but I don’t do Christmas trees, but I live with someone who does, and I enjoy second-hand Christmas. My roommate is Christmas Tree Orthodox, the […]
We had an insurrection yesterday, an American Beerhall Putsch. I will address that, I have to, but let me calm myself first recounting my day. I had a pleasant morning, during breakfast, eggs Horvendile, I watched The Expanse, the best show on TV. Last Wednesday I forgot to watch. Yesterday I watched as soon as […]
Wow, I’m starting to write at 9:22 like I’m supposed to. I also woke up before my alarm. Maybe my body is getting past the pandemic blurring of time. That would be nice. Or maybe it’s the drugs. We’ll get to the drugs in a bit. Yesterday I had my colonoscopy. Those who follow me […]
I’m being good and writing even though I’m not inspired to write. Being a pro means performing on demand. I once read in The Straight Dope that was the defining talent for male porn stars. I said “porn” so now more people will find this via googling. Back when I was on Diaryland I knew […]
I’m concerned, writing first thing in the morning used to be so easy for me. Now early afternoon feels like an accomplishment. I used to be able to write fine without coffee. I’ll blame COVID-19. It’s not COVID-19’s fault but I know it won’t sue me. The vaccine will give me immunity. I made an […]
