The Deal of the Art

I’m back to writing every day, it would be nice if I had something to write about. I have been feeling under the weather and spent my first free day after the WFUV member drive not moving. My plan was to not leave the apartment and not even get dressed. My plan succeeded. My health […]

Keep Dilbert, I’ll Take Elbert

The WFUV member drive is over and I’m back to writing. It was a tough week for me; I was always on the verge of falling sleep, right now I’m on the verge of falling asleep. The only time I wasn’t in danger of falling asleep was when I was in bed trying to go […]

Good Night Nurse

The only reason I have time to write now is that I’m home sick. I’d find the writing easier if I could stay awake. As her mother used to say, “Rosanne Rosannadana it’s always something.” Don’t get too worried about me, it’s only a cold combined with keeping ridiculous hours. We are in the midst […]

Hanneke? It isn’t even Halloween!

I’m sleepy, have a cold, and I’m cold. I feel like crawling back into bed and getting under the covers. Why am I not doing that? I did write yesterday, so I owe you a blog. My Gentle Readers are more important than my creature comforts. I’m a saint, the patron saint of bloggers. Once […]

In Session

Welcome to an early morning edition of Wise Madness. The WFUV member drive starts tomorrow and I’ll have to wake up at 5 AM. I’m getting there in steps, today I set my alarm for 7 instead of the usual 8:30. There were some alarm mishaps along the way. I want my full eight hours […]

Identity is Not a Genre

I need to get out more. Staying home puts too much pressure on my blogging. I have two ideas for today’s blog, much better than when I sit here hoping that one comes to me. Time out, the WQXR announcer said “Richard” Strauss with “Richard” pronounced like Richard Nixon not the German “Rick-hard” Is she […]

Flailing

I can’t win when it comes to sleeping. Last night I got to bed at a decent hour but I woke up an hour and a half early. I hate being tired all day. I’ll probably nap at some point, without trying to. I’ll just fall asleep in the middle of something. I have a […]

You Can’t Tell the Players Without a Program

Today’s edition of Wise Madness is about seeing the Anna/Kate Band. Now that I got the attention grabbing lede out of the way I can work my way up to it in my round-about manner. I’m getting a late start today. I woke up my usual time, went to my computer, and within 20 minutes […]

Anti-Procrastination

I slept late and I had a late start writing today; for once that’s appropriate. It’s what I’m going to write about, at least after I write about yesterday. I’ll put it off a little longer. It’s Friday, what do I do every Friday? You with your hand up in the back; Right I go […]

Jenkins, Hartman, and Ashton: Attorney’s at Law; or not.

Last night I went to a great concert, Courtney Hartman & Taylor Ashton and Steph Jenkins. I’m uncertain how to say that; On the Facebook Event it was Courtney Hartman & Taylor Ashton // Steph Jenkins but on the Rockwood Page it was Stephanie. Let me check her brand-new EP, End to End. And the winner is … “Steph.” Good that’s what I’d call her without thinking.
