Continuing Adventures in Overalls Nation: Vintage Lee Overalls from the 90s
I’ve mentioned before that though I love many different brands and styles of overalls, my personal “Platonic ideal” of overalls is the classic ones that used to be made by Lee Jeans. They’re the ones that look like this: (If … Continue reading

Tone Poem Tuesday
Last Thursday, in discussing Mozart, I hinted that today I’d be featuring a work by a composer whose promise really was cut short by a tragically early death. Vasily Kalinnikov lived almost as long as Mozart did, dying of tuberculosis in … Continue reading
January Reading (From the Books)
I’m going to try, in 2022, to write a monthly recap of the books (and other things) I read each month. I had a good reading month and am well on my way to meeting my annual goal of 52 … Continue reading
C-c-cold
We’ve been in something of a Deep Freeze here in the 716 of late, with several days in the last couple of weeks bottoming out near zero, a similar number of days never getting much above ten degrees, and (I … Continue reading
My current reaction to a certain news item
There’s a thing that might be happening today, or it might not, and absent confirmation by the person who can confirm whether the hoped-for thing is in fact happening today, I will keep my reaction noncommittal. Moreover, everyone acting as … Continue reading

Something for Thursday (Mozart’s 256th edition)
This scene from the great film Amadeus might be the best simple explanation of Mozart’s astonishing genius I’ve seen yet. In the film, there is an opening for a lucrative job for which Mozart would be ideally suited, but Mozart is … Continue reading

Two Doggos and a Cat
For lack of anything else to post today, here is Cane awaiting his breakfast: Here’s a diptych of Carla sleeping: Here’s Rosa, in a box: And finally, here’s Remy being a dick to Rosa because she’s on the heat vent … Continue reading
Tone Poem Tuesday
Every year when I watch the New Year’s From Vienna concert, there are pieces that are new to me. This makes sense! That concert draws from a big body of music, much of which is not heard much these days at all, but … Continue reading




Forty-four percent
I see that he has finally exited the stage, after tormenting the nation for twenty-two years, or fourty-four percent of my life. He’s gone. It’s over, at long, long last. I look forward to eventually learning the real secret of his … Continue reading →
