“A soul that had been wandering afar, star-led.”

“She came out of her reverie with a deep sigh and looked at him with the dreamy gaze of a soul that had been wondering afar, star-led.”

— from L. M. Montgomery’s Anne of Green Gables

“The problem is …”

The problem is,
We look for someone to grow old together,
While the secret is to find someone to stay a child with!

Throwback Thursday: “The Adventures of Superman” (1952-1958)!

No, I was not alive when “The Adventures of Superman” first aired in the 1950’s.  But I could swear that I remember seeing reruns on local New York broadcast TV when I was a tot in the 1970’s.

I could be wrong!  It’s possible I’m remembering some other iteration of the character in film or television.  My instincts are telling me that this is the show, though.

Comic book fans will recognize George Reeves in the iconic title role.

I am linking here, by the way, to Steven Brandt’s Youtube channel.  Thanks, Mr. Brandt.



Today’s portmanteau.

Neuromaste — the neurotic in me greets the neurotic in you.

(There’s something to be said for dysfunctional spiritual symmetry. )

Old people thoughts I totally had today:

“This McDonald’s is exceptionally clean. The staff should be commended.”
