I was brainstorming possible captions for this one and the best came from my friend JS: “When we started this project, our report turnaround times were in the toilet.” Taking callers now… Here are a few other contenders: “We won’t paper over your workflow problem.” “Hands-free when you need it most!” “At Draconian Healthcare, weContinue reading ““New Biometrics in Medicine””

“Put your hand in the hand of the man…”
This seems an apt metaphor for our times, as a man blindly extends his hand through a hole in Yoko Ono’s conceptual art piece, ostensibly to shake hands with a stranger, yet there are no takers. In the COVID era, and in the highest period of partisan divide since the 1960’s/70’s, you’ll only get deadContinue reading ““Put your hand in the hand of the man…””
“London Calling”
We went to London. That’s a city in England. They drive on the other side of the road there, which makes crossing the street dangerous.

It is an arresting perspective that provokes many ideas at once. And with this I contrast my experience at the Uffizi in Florence, whichContinue reading ““God’s Eye View””

“Trivialities”
It begins with “The Bear.” I get it that some people just don’t get it. Yet, at least. Fine. I quit “Mad Men” after two episodes before later discovering the layered complexity and its occasional pure joy — such as the wonderful song and dance homage bit done by Robert Morse after the death ofContinue reading ““Trivialities””

“Mad Men and Troubadours”
The peripatetic life of the journeyman folksinger has seen our man Tommy Treacle wearing sundry musical hats. From his bid to write horror-movie themes to reworking heavy metal songs into folk ballads to a foray into political tunes, he has generally eschewed the conventions of the touring troubadour. While he’s seen his share of diveContinue reading ““Mad Men and Troubadours””
