Eye of the Pyramid

What adventures have I had since I posted yesterday? Yesterday something momentous happened on yesterday’s Donut Walk™, I got to Krispy Kreme and didn’t go in! It was just a walk. Why? Three reasons. First, I didn’t really feel like a donut. Second, I’ve been working on walking faster and didn’t want to break my […]

A Nebulous Post

Yesterday’s dilemma was whether or not to go on the Donut Walk™. I’ve gone twice since I threw my back out. One time it was not worth the pain. I had trouble making it home. The other time wasn’t as bad, but part of that was chance. There was a hard surface I could put […]

Supermarket Singer

Remember how yesterday I said that I was sick, but it wasn’t Crohn’s, it was because I ate an entire box of cookies? That was wrong, it was Crohn’s albeit perhaps triggered by overeating cookies. I did not eat anything yesterday, I hardly moved. I slept about half the day. That’s what happens when my […]

Chag Sameach

Yesterday was an excellent social contact day. I got a phone call shortly into my Donut Walk™. I was going to say that my phone rang but it didn’t. I was listening to Don Giovanni and all of a sudden the music stopped. I went to look at my phone to see what went wrong […]

Radio Donuts

Things went back to normal yesterday and I took my Donut Walk™. I suspect I’ll skip it today because of the Seder but perhaps not. I am not going to let a little thing like keeping kosher for Pesach keep me from donuts the rest of the week. I’m a good Jew and eat matzoh  […]

On Your Cpl O’Reilly

Greetings music lovers; that’s John Platt’s signature phrase and last night was John Platt’s On Your Radar so I’m using it. I’m debating continuing welcoming My Gentle Listeners on Gord’s Gold. I will never abandon My Gentle Readers. Later last night, 11 PM EST, Gord’s Gold was live on Folk Music Notebook. The archive at […]

Radio Days

I’ve been starting to write for the last two hours. Every time I start I put on some new music I received and then get distracted. Now that people are sending me music every day I’ll have to get better at my musical time management. I very much want to make a time signature joke […]

The Show Went On

Yesterday was the first streamed edition of John Platt’s On Your Radar. I was the one that suggested streaming to John and so I feel somewhat responsible for it, which leads to anxiety and self-doubt. A great load was taken off me when Rob Hinkal agreed to run the tech end. He’s great at that […]

Food and Music; Live Goes On

As I recount my life in isolation, Wise Madness is becoming even more of a music and food blog than usual. I’m writing this while watching the Kennedys streaming on YouTube. I get great music and time with friends at the same time. Of course, it makes it hard to concentrate on my writing but […]

Between the Drive and the Caroling

The three day WFUV member drive is over, so my life is back to normal. The plan yesterday was to volunteer for seven hours, 6 AM – 1 PM and then go to therapy. Then my therapist had to cancel. I figured I’d stay until 1 and then go shopping. But the supervisor that was […]
