I’m about three points of chance from having become an ascetic. Instead I’m somewhat of a runner with a penchant for caffeine, reading, learning languages, and other wandering pursuits.

I Broke Your Caulk

We’re getting underground sprinklers. It was not a decision made lightly or easily, but there it is. Today was step one in that process: installing the back-flow preventer and the piping to get water from the well out to the forthcoming system. The plumber was quite young and had

I’ll See You in Hell!

This is going to be a short post, because I am really unsure what I want to say and yet I feel compelled to say something. Given that base, let me be brief. On a whim I bought a newish Nintendo Switch game called Hades. It’s rare for me

The Tumult

Scotland is looking to pursue a second independence referendum; France, much like here in the States, is reflecting on times past and their current relative stature in the world; China and Russia are portrayed as ascendant; in Canada and Spain and elsewhere there are persistent rumblings or reformations.

Are Our Wires Crossed?

Bryan, your Belly with Two Heads post has me a bit confused. First you rocked me in your third paragraph where you casually toss out “I don't pretend to follow everything Nietzsche is saying in this book but he seems . . . to be impatient with the dishonesty inherent in

Ouroboros

Apple is set to release its take on Asimov’s Foundation books later this year, and when I first saw the trailer, one of the first questions that came to mind was Why now? Beyond the fact that they can now do it justice visually, what is the draw? So

Molded, Formed, Not Set

Every other day I head out on a run. Every other day I wonder when I should do that. Part of the wonder is centered in things I can’t control but of which I need to be cognizant: lighting, temperature, and general weather conditions, as well as household needs

Sasquatch Did What on Hulu?

The Sasquatch docu-series that just came out on Hulu is a trip. Billed as an investigation into the murders of three men in Northern California, supposedly at the hands of one Messr. Bigfoot, the audience quickly learns the real focus is instead cannabis farm culture in the “Emerald Triangle.” Interesting
