First, the announcement: I sent out a new installment of the newsletter the other day! This one was in remembrance of actor/director/playwright Tom Noonan, who died recently. Please check it out and subscribe! I try to send it twice a month, with usually a long piece or essay. Now, for the weekly quiz-thing that I don’t always do weekly but this week I am because it’s prompt-based, which is interesting. Here’s the details: This week we’re playing word association as suggested by a blogger named Dawn Camp. She said these words “tickled her fancy,” and let’s see if they inspire you.Down the rabbit hole….

OK, y’all, listen up! Thanks to both of you. Yes, this is the end…of scattershot posting all over the place, including this site.  As part of my upcoming focus on content creation, I’ve decided…well, let me back up. I’ve been “focusing” on content creation for a couple of years now, actually, but I haven’t actually managed to get any real traction, have I? So, I’ve decided to take a more structured approach. See, I want to write and I want to do photography and I also want to make video content about those things and other things too and if IDown the rabbit hole….

First things first: I have decided to dust off the newsletter that I’ve been maintaining (sort-of) on Substack! But, for various reasons I’ve also decided to migrate my newsletter to the Ghost.io platform. If you previously subscribed to me on Substack, you should have already been migrated and received the new one; but if not, and if you want to subscribe–and why wouldn’t you!–you can go right here to check things out. Yes, this is part of my new focus on content creation in 2026. And now, let’s take a look at the Sunday Stealing questions for this week! 1. WhatDown the rabbit hole….

I’ve shared a new edition of my Substack for the first time in…well, quite a while! This one is a tip of the hat to a collection of photographers whose work I have found particularly helpful and inspiring in my first year of pursuing this hobby seriously.

Hello, everyone! As noted several days ago, we have company from out of town and we’re having a good time doing the usual “cheerful visit from out of town” stuff, hence the lack of posting. Things should start normalizing tomorrow…but meantime, some stuff and a clearing of the open tabs: ::  My newest Substack newsletter is out! It’s about baseball in the movies (and a couple of teevee episodes). And see if you can spot the glaring error in my first few sentences! Oops! ::  Variety did a wonderful profile of John Williams a while back: Over the decades, he wasDown the rabbit hole….
