“The Yellow Brick Roads Not Taken”
They say it’s the journey and not the destination. Hard to argue with that kinetic theory of life and our elusive search for happiness. And yet — to wax Zen — it seems the more complex the problem, the simpler the solution. In short, as Warren Zevon succinctly put it as he was dying ofContinue reading ““The Yellow Brick Roads Not Taken””
“Advance Directives (Eternal Bliss)”
There will come the day, On this I am resigned, When anyone who’s known us Themselves are lost to time It’s the run, alas, of all things As sand forsakes the stone The scattering of legacies In dust that once was bone When finally I’m bidden Forgive me one last crime Gobsmacking for the mournersContinue reading ““Advance Directives (Eternal Bliss)””

“The Sixth of January”
“The Sixth of January” (modeled on the English folk poem “The Fifth of November” that commemorates Guy Fawkes’ so-called “Gunpowder Treason” on Nov 5, 1605) Fix in your memory! The sixth of January, The Trump Tower Treason and plot; I know of no reason Why the Trump Tower Treason Should ever be forgot! Donald andContinue reading ““The Sixth of January””
