The Weekend: April 4-6, 2021

For the curious, this particular part of the week's festivities has changed a bit. While I give no pretense to impartiality, I try to keep the News news. Sure, I make no bones about where I stand on a particular issue, but even then I make something of an effort in maintaining certain journalistic standards. … Continue reading The Weekend: April 4-6, 2021 →

I've been out of pocket today and really haven't even been in the mood to look at the news. So, this will be a short, sweet, and somewhat shallow wrap up of today's foolishness.

It's a Mose Allison day again. Cool and rainy and grey. With most of the trees without their leaves, it gives the world a stark and weary look. Tired and blue. Like I said, perfect Mose Allison weather. It seems like all over the world, the feeling's mutual, as the day's been mostly tying up loose ends from earlier in … Continue reading Friday, December 6, 2019 →
