Hallowed Hollows
Not too long ago I heard actor comment in an interview about a recent, massive lose he experienced - his partner died after a battle with cancer. In the convo the interviewer asked him if that informed his work, and especially when the character he’s playing has had similar experience. His answer and description struck …
Politics Aside
When I was growing up I had an older neighbor I really looked up to; he turned me on to a lot of the early music I listened to. Ted Nugent was one of those early musical influences. As you may know, in recent years, Ted Nugent has become a very outspoken right-wing, conservative voice …
Stumble On To Tragic Holy
I’ve seen this picture, didn’t know the story until now, This Buddhist monk who set himself on fire and burned to death to protest his government at the time, Would that every human can feel such certainty, Would that the governments of our world will not let this happen again, It’s been sixty years…we are …

The testing is done by sliding the patient into a long tube, and then running various test sequences …
A Social Construct, A Moral Contract
The social construct, at its best becomes a moral contract, the art and the science, in the forever vocation of parenting. Born helpless, babies need care, concerned attention shown immediately, repeatedly, so that they can grow, nurture, thrive. How oh how can it be any different, insistent, the need so obviously anciently based, caring, teaching, …
Remembering Grandpa
George McAllan Downing, GMD, grandpa. He was my mom’s and auntie’s dad. Born this day 3/27 in 1914, just as World War I was heating up. He’s been gone 26 years. Damn that’s a long time. Damn, I miss him. My memories are many, if more faded now. Though somehow the love and warmth and …
