Lighthousekeeping in Mayberry

I know it's been a while (see my earlier blogs about custody difficulties and you'll know just how the intervening weeks have been spent...poor Girlchik...caught between one sane and one insane parent...) BUT

I thought I'd mark my return with a recent happening of a darkly amusing variety. Several years ago, an acquaintance of mine who was suffering from kidney damage (self-induced) mentioned that the prognosis was bad, and he was heading for worse. I have always liked this fellow (he's an... read more

Wooo. Wooo. Thank you. Thank you. Wooo. This is great. So many people to thank. Where do I begin? Wooo.

I'm not prepared for this. Wooo. Nobody could have predicted this. Wooo. So many people to thank. Forgive me, I'm a little shocked and awed.

First of all, none of this would have been possible if it hadn't been for the original script from the neo-con working group at Project for the New American Century. Richard Perle, you roc... read more

For some reason, this old poem must out.

Verbatim

Convinced that you can make me speak
You fire first, one word questions,
As if brevity might startle
An answering volley from me.

I will not evade your voice—
Cutting, caustic with frustration.
We are not lovers claiming
The strange false language of
Gesture and telepathy
Which passes for communication
And this is not a passionate dispute.
Two weary people, one wanting conversation,
One clearly not conversant.

Perhaps y... read more

Green feet.
A google search for same indicates that I may be near-alone in my satisfaction with brilliant green feet after the first grass-mowing of the season. The weather here by the Ohio River has been alternating between unseasonably warm and very cool, and the grass has made a run for it. Thought I'd go play yardboy before it started SNOWING this weekend.

New beds to dig...want to massively expand the vegetable garden now that John and (we hope) GirlChik are here. How nice to be outs... read more

Wild Geese

You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in ... read more
