Something for Thursday
Autumn is here! And almost like flipping a switch, we went from warm temperatures in the 80s for the last few days to high temps that are unlikely to rise above 70 for the better part of a week. This … Continue reading
Happy birthday to the Bagginses of Bag End
Mr. Tolkien was good enough to assign the birthday of two of my favorite fictional characters to the day when Autumn, my favorite season, generally starts. There’s poetry there, I think. Happy birthday, Bilbo and Frodo!
Tone Poem Tuesday (or, Hello, Mr. Strauss)

Twenty Years
I thought about writing a long remembrance of that horrible day, a walk-through of the weird mix of terror and business-as-usual that played out in the office where I was working at the time. I just…don’t want to do that. … Continue reading
Something for Friday (the “Oh crap, I’ve been busy as hell and a day off all week” edition)
Sorry, folks, it’s just been a busy week. Anyway, as part of my mood-listening for writing of late, I’ve been listening to music from Star Trek. Here’s a selection from James Horner’s score to Star Trek III: The Search For … Continue reading

Tone Poem Tuesday
In honor of Labor Day, and therefore of the labor movement and the fact that the single biggest contributor to the America that exists is the American worker, here’s a piece that pays tribute to one of the fruits of … Continue reading
