Not being enough of a geek already, I’m adding to my bag of tricks. I took a class on spinning fiber into yarn a few weeks ago with Ann Corbey at The Fiber Loft in Harvard, MA. I got to try a couple of wheels that were OK, but didn’t really enthrall me, but I [...]

This horror will not go away even if we could remove every gun from America. Timothy McVeigh did not use a gun, and the Columbine killers made bombs as well. The problem we need to solve (and fast) is the fact that we are producing so many (or any at all) young people who consider [...]

My blog. My opinion, whether you agree or not. I’m moved to tears by the recent killings in Newtown Connecticut.

No, I didn’t make a resolution to start blogging again, but I got a few new toys recently, so I thought I’d comment on some experiences. First – it was a huge mistake to get a black range. It’s beautiful when it’s clean, but cleaning it is a bear. First it has to be washed, [...]

I was saddened to hear of Dennis Hopper’s death today due to cancer. I was never a huge fan, just the occasional role that crossed his path. A clever and talented actor as well as director, Hopper was an artist too, and an art collector. I had heard on NPR just the other day that [...]

Auntie Joann sent us kids an email this morning acknowledging what would have been my father’s 83rd birthday yesterday. He missed out on a bunch of really neat grandchildren. He also missed out on his great-grandchildren. He was a great guy. Too bad he smoked. Bastard.
