1 TO 20 OF 70 MATCHES
1 TO 20 OF 70 MATCHES
#1) My Country, 'Tis of Thee
04 Jul 2020
America's 1st birthday for my 5th GGPs: Washington nearly assassinated in the front yard; Lafayette shot off his horse, landed in the garden; and Cornwallis stopped in for tea. So. Yeah. More stable than our 244th.
#2) Enid Gets Tipsy
08 Jul 2020
Enid, Satan's millennial daughter and recent immigrant, puts her latest etiquette lesson to use. Her Miss Manners consultant is a former Physics professor, so estimation is your friend - just show your work.
#3) Flight of the Moth
07 Sep 2020
Find ALL the layers - you get a cookie. If I wanted to go "there", I can. I mastered dark, depressing stream-of-consciousness writing. In a journal for over 12 years. TY BLS! HBM? Rainbows, flowers and bunnies.
#4) Playing Chicken
18 Sep 2020
America - just how close are we to making it to the "other side"?
#5) They Were Americans
23 Sep 2020
Today - I have no witty words to share. But history will remember. And judge.
#6) The Great Dissenter
24 Sep 2020
John Marshall Harlan from Plessy v. Ferguson. My cousin from Kentucky was a deeply flawed man, but chose the right side of history. It's the condemned ghosts of the other seven that continue to haunt us.
#7) Trick Or Tweet
14 Oct 2020
A prediction? Remove this mischievous outlet for American teenagers and our nation will collapse! Without mailbox baseball, egging, TPing or the great Chagrin Falls Pumpkin Roll - is it even Halloween? /s
#8) 11/3
20 Oct 2020
Funny thing about that comma in Article II, Section 1? The oath "and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States" is NOT limited to your term of office.
#9) Everything
04 Nov 2020
For me - the world and life can be a challenge without any sense of purpose. The best way I have found to describe this is "I am buried, just not dead". Seems an appropriate thought for today.
#10) November 7 Hell
07 Nov 2020
Knowing history is fun. Unraveling humanity's tangled and twisted threads that weave it together? Funner. Sadly, there is MORE to this. Hell can be a very interesting place to spend eternity.
#11) It's Not a Train
08 Nov 2020
America. And me. Perks of working for one of the world's largest corporations? Expat and travel opportunities. Restricted the last 4 years. It will be nice to travel again. Eventually. And so, whimpering?!? Sorry!!!
#12) Thanksgetting
19 Nov 2020
Weird that those pushing "liberty, freedom, choice" the hardest have a vested personal interest in seasonal economic activity ... and have taxpayer funded healthcare with access to experimental COVID-19 treatments?
#13) It's a Thursday
26 Nov 2020
I had something profound planned to celebrate our low-key July 4th and national origin myth, but I am no longer in the mood. Which is how - and has always been - the way I create. Everything. It's who I am.
#14) Somewhere In America
13 Dec 2020
Perspective. Only 60+ cities in the USA, totaling 54m people, have a population over 300k. 84% of Americans live someplace COVID could have entirely erased from the map. Cincinnati, St. Louis, Pittsburgh, Orlando ...
#15) America the Coffeeboy
14 Dec 2020
Electoral College voting day! PSA on authoritarian desires vs our Federalism. It is infinitely easier to tame a single tiger than to herd 50 cats. And if the Universe is still here, tomorrow a classic movie and Xmas.
#16) Bah!
26 Dec 2020
Channeling my inner "New Yorker" cartoonist. I'm usually too wordy. "Letters are symbols. They are building blocks of words ..." - and so on. A day late. Was busy writing a new blog to explain why I failed as a composer.
#17) January 7, 2021
07 Jan 2021
Yes, today is another day. But. Remember the events of November 8, 1923. It is the NEXT time to worry about. By someone who knows what they are doing. And learned.
#18) One Day More
20 Jan 2021
Yeah, since this theme went so well last time. Does everyone forget Trump remarking that the White House was basically a no-star hotel? I know a few family members that are very happy to see him leave.
#19) The Origin of Species
27 Jan 2021
There is a theory that religion was a biological adaptation - a trait that evolved alongside consciousness as a coping mechanism for the growing awareness of our mortality. Sounds familiar.
#20) Failure Is An Option
09 Feb 2021
I got to talk with Gene Kranz after attending a speech he gave in Houston. If you wonder what someone is thinking? Ask! It's not ... ugh. I need some time in space away from humans. Return and re-entry? Optional.
