When we buried Jonathan in the pit near the propane tank, I decided to plant a tree over him, but I couldn’t decide what kind of tree I wanted. I really miss the crepe myrtles which are so commonly seen in the New Orleans area, and I’ve seen some beautiful ones in the nearby town of Hoquiam. But when I talked to a...
Another deep time collection - links posted on various discords as recommendations when the topic came up. Taking this 'stands the test of time' aspect as a quality filter, here they are. For more, see last weeks collection found here or on the weekly r/OSR blogroll or check the RPG Blog Carnival. Rise Up Comus...
Well, hello again. Having been motivated by a fairly spectacular basho, I figured I’d run the red ink over the performances of the 41 makuuchi rikishi who took part. This could have been an exhaustive exercise, but I decided to keep it brief. Agree? Disagree? Feel free to sound off in the comments. M16W Asakoryu

"Jack and Diane" by John Cougar Listen on Apple Music Your browser does not support the audio element. Share a song that captures the feeling of being seventeen. - Jack and Diane by John Cougar I grew up fast. I was desperate for adulthood and freedom, but the good stuff already felt like it' was slipping away in...
At last, I’m writing something in reaction to an article I had put aside for a long time now. It’s called “IMG_0416” and was published in November 2024.

When I first met Lenny Kaye in 1970, his two immense contributions to contemporary culture were still in the future: (1) his compilation of the profoundly influential double album Nuggets: Original Artyfacts from the First Psychedelic Era, 1965-68, released in 1972, and (2) his founder-membership of the Patti Smith...
First published in 1972, this is the second book in Mary Renault’s Alexander the Great trilogy, following Fire from Heaven, which I read last year. It was also the book chosen for me to read in the latest Classics Club Spin (the deadline was earlier this month, but I find that Mary Renault’s novels need a lot of...
In the recent sunny weather in the UK I was reminded of a favourite quotation from revered author Peter Dickinson: “Nobody who has not spent a whole sunny afternoon under his bed rereading a pile of comics left over from the previous holidays has any real idea of the meaning of intellectual freedom.” I have...
I was lucky to be able to get tickets to EMF Camp 2026. Despite being larger than ever, it felt like tickets were harder to get hold of this year. Oscar and I went in 2024 but this time we went as a family and Alicia and Ethan joined us. We loved the event, and the people we met, and in our own ways we all came away...
I left streaming a few months ago because I didn’t want to keep renting music I already had on CD.
