POST THANKSGIVING

It’s now 2 AM. I’ve topped off the rental tank ($9.98 per gallon if they do it!), arrived at the Cincinnati airport (which is in Kentucky) and I’m prepared to drop off my rental and kill a couple hours reading til my 6:25AM flight home.   WTF, Budget? A sign pronounces the lots hours are from… Continue reading POST THANKSGIVING

HONOR

See this is what gets my back up.  This guy essentially threw Colin under the bus.  And while I know public statements can be daunting, his remarks suggested that he, while playing in the NFL, would be somehow equivalent to active duty service.  That is a crock of shit!  I suspect he misspoke and am… Continue reading HONOR

This overview: A ½ hr pilot ( THE PROMISED LAND), filmed in Carlsbad, N. Mexico with an eclectic cast and first rate crew. There… Continue reading GOD KNOWS

ART

In a seemingly Zelig-like way, my life has intersected with three of the most important artists of the 20th century. Martin Puryear. Donald Judd.  Bruce Nauman.   In 1954, schools and neighborhoods in Washington DC the celebrated Brown v. Board of Education decision by the Supreme Court in 1954, declared school segregation unconstitutional.        Homes… Continue reading ART
