- Bio
- With a wife and two daughters, I sometimes have more thoughts in my head than sense. Always I hope that the arc of history moves forward, so this blog is my attempt to jot down things as they are, or as I see them, so we can remember the here and now. Or, as T.S. Eliot wrote:
We shall not cease from exploration/
And the end of all our exploring/
Will be to arrive where we started/
And know the place for the first time.

The towns of Wellfleet and Provincetown, near the tip of Cape Cod, are two of my favorite places, especially in the cold of winter. During our first big snowfall this year (weeks ago as of this writing), I looked out the window at gray clouds and slush, and dreamed of… Read full post »
I'm not sure where all this concern originated about the End of the WorldTM on December 21, 2012, except that supposedly the Mayan calendar predicted it on that date. In fact, this is just one more example of popular myth arising from a misunderstanding/… Read full post »
