I’m catching up on my life in Wise Madness. I got home from the hospital Monday evening and now it’s Thursday morning. So that’s what I have to cover today. Who can guess the first thing I did when I got home on Monday? Monday is important. I watched Game of Thrones. I didn’t want […]
Now for the story of my hospitalization. I really should have taken notes; the timeline in my head does not quite work out. I don’t plan on this being a play by play so that shouldn’t be that much of a problem. When I was back in my room I was hooked up all over […]
I’m back from the hospital and finally ready to write. One thing that has come right back to me is forgetting my brilliant idea of what to write. Somehow starting like this seems very me. My energy is low but my built-up demand is high for writing is high. These thoughts have to find a […]
Did you notice that I was hardly online yesterday and didn’t even blog? That’s because I was too sick to use my computer for very long. I had an old school Crohn’s attack. That’s a very different experience than I’ve had the last 20 years. This was not about an obstruction in my intestines, at […]
The Warren Commission
Just as I was about to start writing the outside bell rang. I went to the buzzer and asked, “Who is it?” The response was, “Somebody open the door.” I hope nobody let him in, I didn’t. Doesn’t that defeat the entire purpose of having to buzz people in? He didn’t even think it necessary […]
Fiddle Camp Friends
I had another very good day yesterday; it’s hard to meet dinner with a great friend and hearing great music. There were only two flies in the ointment, I was a half hour late meeting the friend and there were no doughnuts with the music. Those amount to rounding errors. The dinner was with Katherine. […]
Yesterday was the first Friday in May, so the first Sunset Singing Circle of 2019. I only discovered it a few years ago but it started in 2002. Battery Park City started it as a response to 9/11, renewal through song. I was going to say that Terre Roche has been leading it since then […]
I woke up before seven this morning and did not go back to bed. I never do that. It might have something to do with the fact that I fell asleep watching TV around ten last night. I have an alarm on my phone that goes off at midnight to remind me to go to […]
Chicks-fil-A
Last night I went to see Sharon Goldman at Rockwood Music Hall. The new norm as that timing the subway ride is a crap shoot so I can’t cut things as close as I’d like. I arrived at Rockwood at 6:02 instead of 5:55. Sharon was already into her first song. She started right on […]
Gut Check
Yesterday’s agenda was medical, an appointment with my surgeon and then PT. I have the commute across the Bronx down pat, I got to the sign-in desk exactly on time. I am stupidly proud of my punctuality and commuting skills. I keep telling you that I’m an idiot, why won’t you listen? Good news from […]
