Wise MadnessThis is the easiest kind of Wise Madness entry to write; last night I went to see Anaïs Mitchell at Rockwood Music Hall. If I can’t write about a friend, I just put on my list of great songwriters, performing at my home away from home, with friends in the audience, I should quit blogging. […]
Oh, good, I’m starting to write before 10:00. I once again did not get enough sleep and will have to pay for it and some time but now I’m feeling fine. I just have to be awake to see Anaïs Mitchell doing Hadestown tonight. I’ve had tickets since they went on sale but I don’t […]
One of the themes of my brain is that the universe works in mysterious ways. This is in no way mystical. It’s about nonlinearity and feedback. Sometimes if you push the effect is to pull. It’s how I can be both clinically depressed and a cheerful hobbit. I am watching The Flash as I write […]
This fatigue is getting to me; might I have chronic fatigue syndrome? I don’t think so but something isn’t right. I’d much rather be my usual high energy self; it even affects my writing. It’s why I’ve started writing in the afternoon, my least favorite time. Even black coffee isn’t helping. I watched Up last […]
I was on the train, homeward bound, when I last wrote. I made it the rest of the way without incident, i.e. something I can use as blogging material. When I got in an alien intelligence possessed my body and proceeded to unpack immediately. It even changed the cat litter before sitting down. This productive […]
Dateline Van Merc Hill: I hear other people awake. I could join them but it’s parent/child time so I think I’ll write till breakfast starts cooking. There are still other guests sleeping. I’m used to be the last to wake up. Yesterday was Second Thanksgiving. I think I like that even more than first Thanksgiving. […]
Dateline Van Merc Hill: Thanksgiving with Emily and Joe’s family is a lot like NERFA; I spend the day in my jammies, I don’t go outside, there’s lots of music, and I stay up late with other people. Friday is the day of rest between first and second Thanksgiving. I attempted to edit photos starting […]
Dateline Van Merc Hill: I’m safely ensconced in my room at Emily and Joe’s house, the Stately Van Merc Hill. Hey it’s in a state, fine, be that way, it’s a commonwealth, commonwealthy Van Merc Hill. My train arrived a little early, that does not happen with the bus, it’s always a question of how […]
Dateline Amtrak: I’m writing this on the train to Boston, we just pulled out of Bridgeport. Unlike the bus the Wi-Fi and electric outlet work well. This is so much more pleasant. If the Bolt Bus didn’t raise their prices for Thanksgiving I’d still use them, but as they do, Amtrak is worth the extra […]
I spent another day at home. The worst part is that I didn’t get my phone fixed. I’ve been editing and posting pictures fromNERFA and impressed at how well the pictures came out before I damaged the camera lens. My phone camera does something my real camera doesn’t do, give me continuous control of white […]
