Shah Levy

I’ve been watching “The Seventies” documentary series on Netflix. It originally aired on CNN but is a great watch. It’s fast-moving; like Cliff’s Notes for the decade. A stunning realization came to me while watching the show. I never considered how much the former Shah of Iran looked like Eugene […]

Mike

I’ve got a note to write about a man.  A man I didn’t get the opportunity to know nearly as well as I’d have liked and because of that, I’m sad. He was good man.  A smart man.  The kind of man who you knew within one minute of meeting […]

Old Tree Wisdom

There’s one smart tree in my yard. Every spring, all the other trees hurry up and get their leaves quickly, enduring snows and late April frosts along with a bunch of pissed-off robins who came back too soon. Every tree in the yard is so ambitious to get started except […]

Mr. Bueller

Olympic Ice

Boy, figure skater Johnny Weir is really bringing some flair to the Olympic announcing booth this year, eh? Or should we say, flare? Like, road flare lit up and visible from space. He’s going to announce the shit out of these Olympics then head straight for the nearest parade, carnival, […]

Bed

The older I get the more I feel like most of my day is spent getting out of bed and getting ready for the day or getting undressed and ready to go back to bed again. Let me see, drink some water, brush my teeth, take a pee, put on […]
