Atlanta, GA March 4, 2022 “The Ukraine is a very fertile country, but by no means agreeable.” – Madame de Staël Americans who two months ago didn’t know Ukraine from a ukulele have been manipulated into posting blue and gold profile pictures, insisting upon “no-fly zones”, and unequivocally condemning anyone who questions what might be happening […]
Ketchum, ID February 25, 2022 Given what it attempted on Earth, it’s no surprise that the Soviet Union would have a natural interest in a “Red” planet. After launching Sputnik in 1957, the Soviets sent several forays toward Mars. None were successful. But the effort spurred others, including the NASA Mariner 3 expedition, which also […]
Hailey, ID February 23, 2022 Outside it’s cold, and quiet. A fresh layer of soft snow fell overnight. Under a clear sky, a cloak of angelic white covers the idyllic terrain. I half expect a team of Clydesdales to prance across this pristine scene. It’s early in Idaho. As the sun rises, the son’s still […]
February 22, 2022Hailey, ID It’s been eleven years and one month since numerologists had such a field day. Not since January 11, 2011 has a date been so unanimous in its numbers. Yet today is even more momentous. After all, how often does 2/22/22 fall on a Twos-day? It’s a quirky occasion. For such a unique event, […]
Boise, ID February 19, 2022 Almost 45 years ago, my uncle took my mother, brother, and me to the first college basketball game I’d ever seen. I’m sitting now at the most recent one I’ve attended. And the same team played in both. “You mean”, my son asked, “that…of all teams…you’ve seen two Utah State games…one […]
Atlanta, GA February 10, 2022 Is it finally happening? Are these the weeks…like the first stones from the Berlin Wall…that the Covid Regime began to crumble? It started when Canadian truckers started chiseling the concrete. As cracks formed and the mortar gave way, other drivers hopped in their cabs, started their engines, and plowed through. […]
Atlanta, GA January 17, 2022 A couple days ago, I revealed how I failed a test for drugs…because I refused to consume one. Regarding the pharmaceutical elixirs themselves, I’ve given reasons for reluctance countless times during the last six months, and I need not re-hash all of them here. But I will provide a few more. It’s interesting that despite the dominant […]
Atlanta, GA January 16, 2022 We don’t get much “winter weather” in north Georgia. But when we do, it’s usually beautiful. Unlike northern snow, ours is brief, and charming…like a lovely marquise waving from a passing palanquin on the Champs-Élysées. It doesn’t linger like a corner hooker, or loiter like a drug dealer outside a […]
Atlanta, GA January 1, 2022 We awoke today to another in a series of damp, unseasonably warm mornings. A layer of fog hugs the ground, like mist engulfing Baskerville Hall. That’s appropriate. The path ahead is rarely clear. But on this New Year’s Day, where we’ve been seems as enigmatic as what’s to come. For […]
Tampa, FL December 25, 2021 The search for universal essence began…as so many things did…in ancient Greece, on the shores of Ionia. The first philosophers sought the primary substance that sustains the world…what St. John later called The Word, which was “in the beginning with God”, without which “nothing was made that was made.” Thales thought […]
