Casual things…or the end of the world.
Dateline yesterday…I’m melting in the afternoon heat at the Old Vic…tinkering on various not-too-strenuous stuff…the wife has incomprehensible *wifely* things to attend to at the Suburban Blah House so we’ve divided our forces…miles…and hours…and a world apart. And in her … Continue reading
The way is shut…
This is my very favorite picture of my nephew, Tyler. His was a sensitive soul that endured a lot of setbacks and tragedy in this world. Unfortunately his quest for peace and wearying battle with his demons led him to … Continue reading

Lying here in the deep night, pondering the future. And not the far future…no…for deeply disturbing reasons best left unexplored in these hours, those days seem past…rather, I’m looking much nearer. Tomorrow as a point of fact. Oh there’s nothing … Continue reading

Wrapping Presents
Sooo…my Dad’s birthday was a few days ago (his 80th!). Lots of family was coming, including my brother and his kids. My brother’s birthday was not long ago either, and we always get something fun for his kids when we … Continue reading
