Peace
We need a break. All of us. I know. Nothing has changed. In fact, it’s getting worse. The United States is now number one. That’s not a good thing. The virus grew by almost 50% in one day in the state. The deaths in the city are growing by leaps and bounds. The governor sounded…

Tempest
I had a really weird thought. That’s nothing new. Most of my thoughts are weird. I’ve said in the past that nature always seeks stasis. Nature does not determine the rightness or wrongness of a thing. She just wants balance. When something gets out of equilibrium, she solves it. It may take time, but balance…

The Long and Wasted Years
It started with an email. Wolf Kahn passed a few days ago. He was an artist. He painted like I wish I could paint. I’d never heard of him. I read this obituary. He was an American treasure. Where the hell have I been? I know about some artists, but not him. That evolved into…

Then, I thought why wait. The future is not secure. Really not secure. That’s not to say that everybody is going to sick…

Changes, Always Changes
The news from the virus world keeps getting bleaker and bleaker. I’m afraid to read a story in The Washington Post about how the economy turned terrible seemingly overnight. It used to be that there was a big difference between what happened on Wall Street and Main Street. Not this time. Small businesses are crashing…

Just Dandy
Just Dandy. See what I did there? Spring arrived. The time of allergies. The time of sneezing. Not from this little guy, but from Live Oaks. So much pollen. More pollen in years. At least, that’s what the weather person said who comes on at six. Everybody is sneezing around here. Even the dogs. None…
