T-minus Seven Days and Counting
If nothing else, I hope that in seven days’ time the world will start to transition to a state in which my usual emotional state is not some form of anger.
Recent Adventures, indoors and out
Just some recent photos of various wanderings and stayings put:
“Common Ground”
Of all the images from the failed coup the other day, there’s one that I can’t stop thinking about. I especially think about this image as I consider all the people who keep telling me that we need to “come … Continue reading
“We are who we were.”
Longtime readers know that one of my main ways of processing the world is through movies and teevee shows I’ve seen, and books I’ve read. I often find in the creative works of others a prism through which I can … Continue reading
My Letter to Chris
Tonight I did something I haven’t done in quite a while. I e-mailed my Representative in Congress. Unfortunately, I happen to live in a district that is currently as reliably crimson as any small town in Alabama, and my current … Continue reading

2020: [sigh of not really relief, but not defeat either]
It’s time for my annual wrap-up quiz. Warning: I’m writing about 2020 here. Trigger warnings galore! And some political bluntness, for which I’ll say, if you disagree with me, well…I do not care. For a taste of how I’ve been … Continue reading
The Ninth: One Symphony to Rule Them All
I’ll have one more Beethoven-related post to wrap this all up, which will mainly be a linkage piece; this post will serve as my main Grand Finale, though. And where else to end with Beethoven’s juggernaut of a masterpiece, … Continue reading
