MOMENTS OF SORROW No Regrets The genius in death, Pours his heart, Pours his life, Onto the page, He communicates, He gives, He really, really gives all, We can feel genius, We can hear genius, Sweetness swirls in the depths of artfulness. To live this long, To come to a place filled to overflowing, Til … More For My Good Pal

Yesterday I was at Lowe’s in Santa Fe over on Zafarano. I’d gone in to find a wood stove poker and some vacuum cleaner bags. When I returned to the parking lot I was approached by a young man. He’d seen Rocinante with the Maine license plates. He explained that he was from Maine and … More Finally! Something to say…

I’ll make this quick. Today I meet with my AVP group of facilitators in Searsport, Maine. We are a new group and this is an effort to learn as much as we can as we enter a new phase of life and activism. We have succeeded in getting approval from the administration of the Maine … More Time to Hit the Road!

(or) Mind Blown!

Luckily we have wells that are providing water from aquifers deep within the earth. In fact, I’ve heard from semi-questionable resources, those aquifers carry water all the way from … More Chutneys, Razorbacks, and the Summertime Blahs

I learned to from the first days I ever walked onto a ball field. Baseballs are like rocks … More Mansplaining Can Be Hazardous To Your Health!
