As I recount my life in isolation, Wise Madness is becoming even more of a music and food blog than usual. I’m writing this while watching the Kennedys streaming on YouTube. I get great music and time with friends at the same time. Of course, it makes it hard to concentrate on my writing but […]
I’m trying something new today. I’m writing as I listen and watch Amy Speace stream a concert. Two songs in a row from Killer in Me including the title track. This is not going well. I spend all my time watching and not writing. So many of my friends are watching too. We are isolating […]
I didn’t mount an expedition yesterday or call a friend. I did receive two calls. One was from my therapist; out session today is going to be by phone. I told her weeks ago this would happen. It’s how you stop a disease from spreading. This was much tougher on people before the internet and […]
Yesterday I went on an expedition for groceries. I went to Aldi. When the weather’s nice I’ll walk there and take the bus home. Now because of COVID-19 I’d rather not take public transportation. I talked about this with Allison and she suggested that I wear a backpack, not the one shoulder model I usually […]
As the title shows today’s topic is compare and contrast House of Hamill and poutine. That saves me from correcting the 847 misunderstandings of medicine and economics I’ve read on FB this morning. I’m resisting even giving one liners, though many can be covered by, “I don’t think that word means what you think it […]
Blogging in the time of COVID-19 is different. My entire schedule is different. Writing in the afternoon is becoming more common. I wish it wouldn’t. Notice I’m still saying COVID-19 even if the world is saying “Novel Corona Virus.” That causes too much confusion as there are many corona viruses and what applies to one […]
I’m remarkably busy for someone for the most part staying at home. Social Distancing Streaming Concerts is taking up a lot of my time. It’s taking off wonderfully. I have to work on scheduling the staff so that it’s always someone’s job to reply to people and post shows. I wrote that last sentence half […]
I’m doing something constructive with my downtime, I created a clearinghouse for streaming concerts on Facebook, Social Distancing Streaming Concerts. With the help of my intrepid partners we are posting links to upcoming streams. I was just posting links then Kristen arranged it so that we can add all FB events to our own event […]

Sitting Alone in My Room
COVID-19 is going to be tough on my blogging. If I stay home I’ll have less to write about. I could keep writing about COVID-19. I was having an imaginary conversation with my therapist today, analyzing why I do write so much about it here and on Facebook. It’s because deserved or not people trust […]
To isolate or not to isolate, that is the question. The more I read the more I become convinced that isolation is necessary to limit the spread of COVID-19. The numbers all agree, the sooner people isolate the sooner and greater extent that it stops spreading. I hate this, I’m a social person. I’m a […]
