Sorry for the long delay in posting. Was on the road last week to the land of milk and honey and also had a fair amount of work to do. I have been taking a lot of time to do some thinking both forward and back, when a decision is

America’s descent into madness continued this week. And there is a lot to discuss about it. But today being All Hallow’s Eve and all – and tomorrow being All Saints Day-a German holiday, perhaps something fun is order. Of course it should start with some of this: And then we

Today, the funerals of Cecil and David Rosenthal were held. Cecil Rosenthal, 59, and David Rosenthal, 54, both of Squirrel Hill, in Pittsburgh, were among the 11 people killed Saturday during a shooting at Tree of Life Congregation in Squirrel Hill. During the course of this week, the remaining funerals

I apologize for the lack of posts. I have been living out of a suitcase for the last 6 days and had to take delivery of a new CPAP machine before that. Starting this week I intend to resume my series on America’s descent into darkness. But for tonight I

In May of this year, the S.O and I went to Porto Portugal and to Lisbon. It was an awesome trip. Spending some time on the Douro River is a great thing to do. The scenery is great, the food and wine excellent, and its off the beaten path (somewhat)

Like a lot of Americans, I had the misfortune to watch the travesty that was the hearings on Brett fucking Kavanaugh last week. I really wasn’t inclined to watch them, rather I was more of a mind to wait till I read the transcripts afterward. But the S.O., surprisingly, wanted

I’m working on a long post about the Supreme Court mess and the plight of Mr. Brett fucking Kavanaugh, ESQ and Supreme Court Justice wannabe. Hopefully, I can get it out tonight. But this morning I have to drive the S.O. up to Heidelberg. It’s a beautiful day to do
