From Italian Sausage to Vonnegut

I can either write something now or call someone. As I’ll be zooming later I’ll opt for writing. The question is which is more stressful, deciding who to call or deciding what to write? This is going to be one of those, I don’t care if anyone likes it, I want to write it entries. […]

Social Closening

Do I go out and shop now or do I write first? Which is procrastinating? I’ll write first. After I shop I have to change and wash up. It’s now four hours later and I did neither. If that surprises you, welcome new reader of Wise Madness. I had a good excuse. I got a […]

Yesterday was Christmas, I got a delivery from Peapod. The texted me the night before and narrowed the delivery window to two hours. I got a text when it was on the way. I got a text when he got to the building. All done great. He came to my door, rang the bell, and […]

Nature Walk, Pizza, Pancakes, and Bri

Yesterday was bleak and dreary, a perfect day to take a walk. That’s how you have to think, go out when other people won’t be going out to minimize your contact. There was even some drizzle but with my cap and hood on I didn’t feel it. I walked down the median of Mosholu Parkway […]

I’ve gotten too good at not leaving the house. The question now is, will I be able to motivate myself to leave when social distancing is eased? I hope so. While I have always enjoyed my days at home not getting dressed this is too much of a good thing. I need to see more […]

Dance of the Entyvio

Good morning My Gentle Readers. I know that technically it’s not morning, it’s 7:35 PM but I woke up from a nap, so it feels like morning. Maybe the problem is that I made breakfast and had my coffee too early. I guess that’s what I should write about. I went for my infusion today. […]

Wow I’m writing less than 24 hours after my last post. I haven’t done that in a long time. Writing is good for me so when the muse strikes I’ll write. Can you tell I had therapy today? It was a bit frustrating. Our sessions have been cut to 30 minutes from 45. If you’ve […]

That’s Not How Science Works

I haven’t written today and there’s no reason to wait until tomorrow, time no longer exists. I have to strike while the intellectual iron is hot. I do surveys online for Ipsos and YouGov. Through one of them I was asked to participate in a virtual town hall with one of my Senators, Kirsten Gillibrand, […]

Premeditated Meditation

I guess I’m going to have to accept that I’m going to skip days blogging now. I have more time to write but less to write about. Turns out that material is the limiting factor. Maybe I should start news in review posts discussing the day’s major stories. I’ll think about that. If I could […]

My Nose

Another day that got away from me. I have something of an excuse. I woke up several times in the night. Once I woke up shivering. I had kicked off my covers, but it wasn’t cold enough for me to shiver. My brain was telling my body to raise its internal temperature. I get that […]
