“And gave her father 40 Wax…”

 

This one ran on Oct 25, 2021, and was all about the joys of (ouch!) hot wax...

QAnon Fatherhood…and lack thereof

 

The horror of it ...

This one ran today (Oct 28 2021) and deals with an incredibly tragic situation. It is the story of a young man, a Parkland school shooting survivor, whose own father became a QAnon cultist and now believes that the boy is part of a "False Flag" operation.

It is, as I say, fantastically tragic, and says much about QAnon in all its horror.

Sonnet 39

 

This ran on Oct 18, 2021, and was in homage to my beloved Martha. That was her birthday. And she will always be the Lady of the Sonnet to me....

What Day Is This?

 

Is this their day?

This appeared on Oct 11, 2021, and is my reaction to the Columbus Day. Or is it Indigenous Peoples' Day? Well...

Today is either Columbus Day, or Indigenous Peoples’ Day, or just old Monday, depending on which calendar you read, and which politics you happen to embrace.

Should I explain that? Probably not. Probably nobody in North America doesn’t get it. But, just on the off chance…

Giordano Bruno: Part 2

The trial of Giordano Bruno. This is a bronze relief done by the artist Ettore Ferrari (1845-1929). Source: Wikipedia

This the second part of my piece on Giordano Bruno and his meaning today. It ran on Oct 7, 2021

When they took Bruno to his execution, they fastened his tongue with a wooden vice so that he couldn’t speak.

Thus, even in the spare few moments before his death, as he traveled his last mile…

They feared not his actions…

But his words.

Homage to Giordano…and vaccines

 

My blog posting from Sep 30, 2021

Three seemingly unrelated facts:

First, the least important fact (well, important to me, but maybe not to others): my birthday is February 17.

Much more important, on February 17, 1600, the philosopher and scientist Giordano Bruno was burned at the stake for a variety of intellectual “crimes.”

And, finally, on July 25, 2021, at a mass rally in London attended by “thousands” of anti-vaccine militants, British conspiracy theorist Kate Shemirani told the crowd that soon doctors and nurses promoting the anti-Covid vaccine would be tried like Nazi-era war criminals, and “hung” (sic) as a consequence.

And I’m afraid.

Depth Charges!

My current personal blog posting is a Depth Charges...the lowest form of Explosive-Cargo!

This week I talk about getting violently hung-over, learning to hate cicadas, not quite getting Covid, and...and...and...

Never ever being even remotely as cool as my old Dad.

Sigh.
