Wise MadnessI’m having my usual internal debate on what to write today. Part of me wants to do an airing of grievances, part of me always wants to do an airing of grievances. Faulty arguments drive me to distraction. I should hope that My Gentle Readers know that when someone says, “I’m not a racist but […]
Is it time to write or time to talk to a friend? Obviously, I decided it was time to write. I missed writing yesterday when this would have been timelier. I have been complaining that I didn’t get my absentee ballot that I requested back in May. When I called the Board of Elections I […]
This is better, my third day in a row writing. I’m getting back in the groove. Now I just have to get back to writing in the morning. I’ll give myself a pass today as I was on the phone until 2:44 AM. No, I’m not totally anal. I just looked at my phone’s call […]
I haven’t written in days so I will now even though it’s 7:09 and I haven’t had dinner, I haven’t talked to a friend today, and I’m way behind on writing postcards to voters in Georgia. I can’t let this dry spell go on a minute longer. Blogging is important to me I’ve made expeditions […]
I’m supposed to write what I’m thinking about so today I’ll write about the murder of George Floyd and the aftermath even though I’m loathe to enter the fray. Everybody is writing about it, why should I? Why should I invite blowback? Because it feels intellectually dishonest for me to avoid it. WQXR is broadcasting […]
Yesterday’s excitement was making blackened chicken breast for dinner. I know that’s not exactly exciting but at least it’s spicy. I used to buy Cajun seasoning, now I just throw on a mixture of cayenne, paprika, black pepper, and garlic salt, in no fixed quantities. It ends up being cheaper and just as good. No […]
I’m getting too comfortable posting every other day. As soon as I started writing this I was called on to help someone set up a streaming festival. Yes, it’s why I created Social Distancing Streaming Concerts, and I’m glad to do it, but the timing was bad. The person I’m talking to isn’t using my […]
Was the most exciting thing that happened to me yesterday my first cold brew coffee of the year? It might be. I wonder if what I like about it is just how it’s made. If there were a blind taste test would I know the difference between it and regular iced coffee? Would most people? […]
Good news, I woke up this morning feeling much better. There’s always some residual discomfort after an obstruction but that’s minor. I’ve been able to eat normally today. Breakfast was scrappleeggsandcheese on pita. I put up a cold brew on Sunday when this was just starting. I kept it brewing until this morning. It tasted […]
I haven’t written today and there’s no reason to wait until tomorrow, time no longer exists. I have to strike while the intellectual iron is hot. I do surveys online for Ipsos and YouGov. Through one of them I was asked to participate in a virtual town hall with one of my Senators, Kirsten Gillibrand, […]
