“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

Fifty-seven years since President Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas. I’m surprised to note that I’ve never written a long piece about Oliver Stone’s film JFK, and it’s been so long since I last saw it that I don’t want to … Continue reading
Any time things wanna get BETTER would be great by me.
So, about that lack of updates in this space for something like nine days…this month has been rough, folks. First, there was the final run-up to the election, which was nerve-wracking in itself. Then Election Night was its own category … Continue reading
What day is it?
So, on Monday I made a post here, invoking the Les Miserables song “One Day More”, as did many of my left-leaning friends on the Internet. And why not! It’s a song that so ably lends itself to a Monday before … Continue reading
One Day More
This is the photo I took on the morning of Election Day, 2016. It seemed like a bright and optimistic day. I captioned it on Instagram: “Looks like a nice morning to make some history happen!” The next morning, in … Continue reading
