As I drove my “new” (well…used, actually) hybrid onto campus from the opposite direction from where I used to, it occurred to me how different driving onto campus is. This college has seen many changes in me, and it’s a reminder of just how much has passed in the short time since I’ve been here.
Melody 1/12/21
We all have a melody to our lives, a routine that hopefully is comfortable for us to live in.
When Lies Become Truths 1/11/21
Despite attempts at reason to convince these misguided soles, they continued to listen to the same source and his team. Goebbels’ assertion has been demonstrated by psychologists already, but what an amazing example in our own society
Blind spot 1/10/21

Instead, I think I want to talk about a few lessons on Zen that I have picked up from observing Star, my newest family member and overweight feline extraordinaire.
Democracy 1/6/20
these are not just immature antics. They are actually dangerous in that they undermine our faith in our Constitution. Any congressman who joins his circus and argues the results of the electoral counts without evidence of wrongdoing should be disciplined.
Gentle Paw 1/5/21
that paw has exceedingly sharp claws, but she didn’t use them. There was no anger, and her touch was so incredibly gentle as if she were touching a soap bubble she feared might pop. Just a brush, really, to tell me that she had a desire.
Cooking at Home 1/4/20
There’s a reason that men need women. We’re…not smart. As much as I’ve enjoyed cooking again, I’ve been cooking as if I’m back in college.
