FIP

I’m going to continue my discussion of the Mets after a brief account of my day. I saw my gastroenterologist today. I’m not down to routine visits every five or six months. I asked her about the problems I had last week, and she suspects food poisoning. Makes sense to me. I’m back to a […]

LGM

The baseball season ended yesterday so it’s a good day to discuss the national pastime. I’ll start with the Mets. I might end with the Mets too. There might be nothing but the Mets. It depends on how much I have to say. FiveThirtyEight’s preseason prediction for the Mets was 84—78, they finished at 86 […]

Hot Pizza for Dinner

Yesterday I finally had the time to set up my new computer, or at least to start setting up my computer. I have all my music in the cloud and even though I can see the files and even play them directly from Windows Explorer I can’t play them on my music players. When I […]

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 […]

Lucinda Hamilton

Always Look on the Bright Side of Life.

I didn’t write today but as I can’t write tomorrow I should try and write something now. Let’s see how this goes. It will be short and personal. As I mentioned in an earlier post, I’m not in a good place mentally right now. I am depressed. I’m don’t want to get out of bed […]

Witness for the Prosecution

Last night I went to a training session to be an Elizabeth Warren volunteer. You’ll be hearing a lot more about Liz on Wise Madness and my Facebook and Instagram accounts. Notice that she’s now Liz; she’s gone straight from a last name to a nickname. I’m more comfortable supporting Liz than Warren especially as […]
