Wise MadnessI have important things bubbling in my head, both political and personal. I don’t feel up to writing about them today. I’m tired and I don’t have that much time. So, I’ll write about something fun, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. I’ve been rewatching the entire series, and I love it more on the second, sometimes third […]
I’m trying something different, writing this directly on WordPress using their text editor We’ll see how this comes out. I want to write more about Hamilton. It’s one of the landmark musicals, one that represents something truly new. It’s remarkable how it accomplished that while staying true to many recent musicals, by using traditional forms. The […]
This is going to be fun. I plan on writing about two things, my mental health issues and common cognitive errors. First I’ll tell you that I’m screwed up and then I’m going to give you advice on how to think. At least I’m not clueless. I see how it looks. Lack of theory of […]
Here’s the lede. I’m an idiot. This is not an idiot story. It’s the reason I often call myself an idiot; it’s because I want to make clear to people, and especially myself, that I recognize my mental glitches. I find it annoying when people make a mistake and instead of being embarrassed about it, […]
I gave myself three homework assignments yesterday, take a walk, record an edition of Gord’s Gold for Folk Music Notebook and read an honest-to-god book printed on honest-to-god paper. I didn’t take the walk, the weather was bad, but I did the other two. The artist I covered was Rod Picott. He has a new […]
I’m off to the New Bedford Folk Festival today. Too bad my digestive system is unhappy. It’s an obstruction from the scar tissue in my small intestine. This time I didn’t eat anything stupid. I’m just paying for a lifetime of Crohn’s disease. All the years I had no insurance and as off meds did […]
Every day I have the urge to start Wise Madness with. “Good morning campers! And then go into Tommy’s Holiday Camp. This is the closest I’ve come to doing it. Last night I went to the Mets – Braves game at Citi Field. The Mets are in the midst of their worst stretch of the […]
The muse is silent this morning so I decided to not blog this morning. Then I realized that was something to write about. My inspiration is being uninspired. It doesn’t help that yesterday I made a conscious decision to not leave the house. It meant not getting exercise, and I’ve been trying to walk to […]
I had a series of uncomfortable and weird dreams last night. The weirdest was preparing a pack of American Cheese to use as playing cards for a bridge game. When it came time to play I couldn’t find the cheese so we had to use computer dealt real cards in official ACBL boards. I felt […]
I tried something different today; I ate brunch before writing. I now have caffeine in me and caffeine gives superpowers. That makes not knowing what I’m going to write about particularly bad. Before I had my coffee I couldn’t even remember what I did yesterday; now I do. I went into the City to get […]
