The Fall of Fall

OK, I admit it. I don’t like the holiday season very much. I’m also not highly impressed with modern California suburbia. At the same time, maintaining a humbug attitude is neither healthy nor considerate to others.
These bright orange seeds are as sticky as they are shiny. I don’t associate the last few days of fall [...]

Moth or Butterfly?

I’m not sure what it is, but I like the colors and I’m impressed to be seeing a magnificent creature like this one outdoors on a cold late-fall afternoon. Incidentally, I asked it about current political issues of the day but it did not reply.

You’ve obviously got a lot of time on your hands. Admit it. You wouldn’t be reading this if you were doing what you’re supposed to be doing. It’s cool. I’ve got more important things to do than write this. But if you’re going to be a slacker, you might as well be a zealous, all-out [...]

I Dined for Your Sins

To paraphrase a disgraced ex-leader, “…I am not a food fanatic.” At the same time, as this picture illustrates, the right meal at the right time makes me a very happy guy.

Happy Fourth of July

To Celebrate America, let’s meditate on the words of James Madison, our fourth President and Father of the US Constitution:
