    I haven’t done one of these in a while. Then again, I haven’t done much writing at all in a while. I was telling my friend Steve the other day that this didn’t bother me, though. And it doesn’t. The fact that it doesn’t bother me bothers me. And that’s why I’m writing. So…Onward. What…

  • I give Bee Movie an A

    I’ve mentioned this before; movie companies should pay me a lot of money to review their movies because I love most of ’em. When my buddy BC and I used to review movies for our University paper, we couldn’t write a bad review if our jobs were on the line (which, of course, they always…

  • First and foremost, I’m really creeped out that the dude who made the ouija board in the first place was from Baltimore. Did anybody else know that? Second and a little less than foremost, I went to a school with a Fuld. Third and most foremost, I’m really digging here in the old memory bank…

  • A few years ago, I picked up this book (Staying Healthy with the Seasons, by Elson M. Haas, M.D., Celestial Arts Press, 1981) as a companion work to a few Taoist books on health and balance. When it comes to the seasons, I am quite sensitive to their intense peaks as well as their transitions.…

  • Short Story Sunday Peril no. 1: “The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar” Author: Edgar Allan Poe Date of Publication: 1845 (Illustration by Harry Clarke, 1919) I have to be honest.
