Wise Madness
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 […]
I need to write, and I need to buy potatoes. I’ll write first as that does not require moving. I talked to Brian on the phone yesterday, the first time in a while. While we were on the phone the front doorbell rang. I shouted, “I’ll be right there I’m getting a mask.” As I […]
I’m finally getting around to writing. It looks like I’m taking today off. What does that even mean for me? It means avoiding all stress. Yesterday I had therapy. I had to deal with something I can’t talk about here. It doesn’t help that my next session is next year. The next two Fridays are […]
Forgive me My Gentle Readers for I have sinned. It’s been three days since my last confession, that’s two days too long. Staying at home is not a good enough excuse, my body might be sessile, but my mind always wanders. My body wandered today, I had to pick up a prescription. That was sufficient […]
It’s Thanksgiving weekend and I’m immersing myself in Christmas Music. That’s what happens when you want to do a holiday album show for Folk Music Notebook. I’m listening to RUNA‘s new one, The Tide of Winter as I write this. I will give it a full concentration listen later. Then I have to the scary […]
I was thinking of not writing today. I was specifically thinking of not writing a Thanksgiving edition of Wise Madness. Thinking about it led directly to me writing a Thanksgiving edition of Wise Madness. I was thinking this through while preparing breakfast. Every morning I spend considerable time considering what to make for breakfast. Unlike […]
Good morning, well good afternoon, would you believe good evening? I’m writing this only 12 hours late, it’s 9:33 PM. Remember the days I would bang out an entry every day before noon. There were semesters I banged them out before 8 AM. COVID-19 has a strange affect on time. It must have to do […]
I’ve been wasting my time for two days, it’s time to write. What exciting has gone on in the last two days? I got to sit backstage at the streaming version John Platt’s On Your Radar Tuesday night. I now I have to cut the videos into individual songs so I can post them on […]
I’m starting my writing to the Carmen Fantasy of Pablo de Sarasate. How does that work? It’s based on Bizet’s Carmen? Does copyright not apply? That’s not why I mentioned it. It’s just that I love it. I’m all for the intellectual and prefer Wagner but you have to work to not love Carmen; the […]
Another day that I didn’t go out to get bagels and other things I need; another day not leaving the house. COVID-19 has taken me prisoner and I have Stockholm Syndrome. It’s just so much easier to not move. Now it’s raining heavy so I can’t go out. If it’s not raining I go out […]
