A New View
My wife and I moved residences earlier this year. Just down the street, but a couple of hundred feet higher. I do have some reflections on the process that will be coming this fall, but today just a few pictures of Friday’s sunset. I don’t remember it looking like this when we lived at street […]
Looking Back
What follows here is my second post on this site, from August 30, 2014. I had no thoughts then about continuing for more than a few weeks. It has been fun, more fun than I would have expected. I want to thank you for reading and being part of this journey. Back then I didn’t […]
I Couldn’t Help It
I laughed when I saw this one. I don’t really care about who Taylor Swift marries – her music does nothing for me. Nor do I care about the NFL. I will never be a “Swiftie.” I figure though that there is so much publicity I don’t need to explain what I am talking about. […]
Maybe Not Everything
That’s 42 kph for the roadrunner, about 70 kph for the coyote. I think as children we all knew that the Roadrunner cartoon was fiction. After all, coyotes don’t have bombs or anvils, both of which I remember playing a big part in the weekly narrative. Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny were lies, but […]
Was Once Enough?
I didn’t get a good picture – maybe that was my subconscious speaking. The first bite was great, but by the end of the slice I wasn’t interested in more. Yes, those are French fries. With melted cheese curds. And gravy replacing tomato sauce. A poutine pizza. I had this creation while on vacation in […]
Sauce For The Goose
The wandering legislators have returned to Texas. The legislature has now passed the law rewriting the 3elctoral map and creating five new electoral districts that will ostensibly deliver five more seats in Congress to the Republicans in the next election. Republicans are hailing it as a triumph for democracy, Or at least for Donald Trump […]
Sunrise At Last
Some people sleep in on vacation. Not me. A good day is when I am up in time to see the sun rise over the Atlantic Ocean. On this year’s annual pilgrimage to Maine, it seemed that I wasn’t going to see a sunrise. Cloud and wildfire smoke seemed to limit the view every morning. […]
Procrastination
There really is nothing more I can say. When I read this in someone’s Facebook post I immediately recognized myself. I’m pretty good with deadlines. Always have been. Though I had a tendency in school to start writing papers the day they were due. That worked until I hit the Masters level – 30 pages […]
