I am just now realizing that I never said anything about the passing of Dick Cheney
Well…that’s that, then. I hope he said hello to Kissinger on his way to the lake of fire.
“Divisive”
This photo is one of my favorites from Barack Obama’s time in the White House. It was taken less than two months into his administration. I love Presidential photography and always have; glimpses into the inner life and the humanity … Continue reading
Two photos from thirty years apart
As someone who focuses on results, I’m not seeing too much difference here.
“Meh, who cares, halftime is when you use the bathroom and get more food anyway”

In the “Sometimes we laugh to keep from crying” department, a snippet from Friends that seems to me sadly applicable. Joey’s refrigerator has given up the ghost, and his solution was…this. Happy birthday, America. I guess.




On rethinking the year as a series of Festivals (a repost)
NOTE: As stated in the title, this is a repost of something I wrote a couple years ago toward the end of summer. Now that Thanksgiving 2025 is in the rear-view mirror and most people who took the long weekend are … Continue reading →
