Apocalypse Now

Sorry I didn’t write yesterday, I didn’t have time in the morning, at least after I fell back to sleep for an hour and a half. But yesterday I was busy; I saw Avengers: Endgame and The Mets play the Reds. I’m going to have to talk about Game of Thrones too. Looking at the […]

Opera and Folk but Not Folk Opera

I missed writing yesterday so now I have a lot to catch up on; one of the best concerts I’ve ever been to, an idiot story, and the end of the world. See what happens when you miss a day? Friday night I went to see Hawktail. This was my first time seeing them as […]

License to Kill

My therapist’s office called this morning; she is sick and has to cancel. This means I’ve had no therapy four of five weeks. It might be five of six. I was sick once, this is her second time sick, she had a vacation day, and there was Good Friday. In addition my psychiatrist had to […]

Archie Bunker’s Place

I’m writing my first think piece in quite a while. When I started Wise Madness it was my intention to write mainly think pieces. I discovered it’s hard to come up with something new every day, it’s even harder to remember the ideas, and posting them causes anxiety. I’m always afraid how people will take […]

Anais’s Inferno

Last night I saw Hadestown for the second time. The show just opened. I bought the ticket in a pre-sale for people who had followed Hadestown on Facebook, or maybe Anaïs Mitchell’s Website. That is the only way I could afford to see this. I bought them the day they went on sale and were […]

Seder Chest

This is a first this season, I’m writing while watching the Met game. They are playing the Cards and winning 1 – 0. Alonso hit another home run. He’s off to the fastest start I can remember from a Met rookie to start a season. And now the Mets are losing 3 – 1 without […]

No Fuss and Feathers or Hell

I went to see No Fuss and Feathers at Spiral Sounds Concerts last night so I have something to write about. Whew. Vamping was getting tough. Two entries ago I told you how I lost one of my Mets caps less than three weeks into the season. What I forgot to tell you is that […]

Writing About Not Writing

I decided to move my day up by half an hour. That’s nothing, people make that kind of change every weekend. I move up my day three and a half hours when WFUV has its member drives. Yet I’ve been tired the two days since I made the change. Maybe it’s coincidence and it’s just […]

Back to the Future

For years I’ve set my alarm on weekday mornings for 8:30. I decided last night to move my schedule up half an hour and wake up at 8:00. The alarm went off, I woke up, turned off the alarm, and fell right back to sleep and didn’t wake up until 8:29. This adjustment might take […]
