I support the 2nd Amendment… but I have an idea.
I support the second amendment whole heartedly. I mean, who is going to keep Washington in check? There needs to be fear of a militia… But lets get rid of the little stuff, no more personal rifles and guns… that’s garbage… we should MANDATE these howizers in every town. We’re still fulfilling the right to…

I change my mind all the time and it’s a good thing
I’m writing while listening to Ta-Nehisi Coates on a podcast… On the National Review… which is weird? Love the man. My friend Nancy said that I get influenced by people pretty easily… It hurt me at the time. But ultimately, I’ve come to accept that its a good thing. I find joy and get overwhelmed…

Writing from the park
I’ve found that writing has been very therapeutic over the years. I’m in therapy (again) but this time it’s a bit different. It’s more behavior rather than just talk. We’re trying to change things and be cognizant of thoughts, actions and patterns that don’t help or do. Writing, reading and intellectual pursuits usual get me…

Hooray! American’s didn’t vote for a terrible person.
Today, the good people of Alabama didn’t vote for a potential pedophile and general creep. Well, the white people voted for him (mostly) and the black people DID NOT. It feels good to know that we had a respite for the forces of progress. I am not going to say everything is going to be…

80’s Music is as old as 50’s music was in the 8o’s but why are we still listening to it?
Thought I would keep it light this evening. During my birthday dinner, my friend Alex we were talking about music and he brought up the point that music from the 1980’s is still very popular even when you go to a bar with relatively young people. I initially had thoughts about demographics that would be…

It’s my birthday today, I’m 43 years old
My birthday was lovely. Lisa took care of everything. She took care of Aveline, got me a very thoughtful gift of a map of England with all the English and Scottish league football clubs on it. In the evening my dearest friend Nancy and her husband Alex came by with their boys Beck and Ely.…

I’ll have the usual – committing again
It’s that time again. Time to commit to writing something everyday. I do this. I write, then stop, then write again. That’s what this blog has captured more than anything. The struggle to get out what is in my brain in the face of sitting in front of the couch and watching another video of…

I love James Baldwin
I’ve watched this many times. The full debate is on Youtube. It may be the one of the most moving things I’ve ever listened to. I’m embarrassed by my complicity in US Citizenship that I can’t help more or do more or teach more. Once you come up against the power of one man’s words…

Goddamn Ken Burn’s you’ve done it again – “The Viet Nam War” is a masterpiece
If you don’t know, Ken Burns and Lynn Novak have made a documentary on “The Viet Nam War” It’s spectacular, poignant and measured. There is no grandstanding, no rah rah, just people’s story’s juxtaposed against the historical record of the war itself. I’m 3 episodes and 5 hours in… and I’m crying. When you watch…

Liberals are conservatives.
When you meet someone and you label them “racist”, “hillbilly” or “stupid” for disagreeing with you or thinking that all Trump voters are dumb, you are engaging in CONSERVATIVE thought. Conservative thought, in that they are innate in their beliefs, that they cannot be changed because they are that way. A true liberal, sees us…

Writing is hard. Slipping from daily posts
I had a really good streak going. I nearly wrote everyday for solid month. The last 2 weeks has been poor. I’ve been tired. I don’t feel like I have anything to say. A couple of things have popped in my head and then out. I’ve tried to ration my posts to make sure I…
