Roanoke River around Franklin Road SW, September 2022

I’m kinda happy with the fortuitous composition of the last video and photo.  That swan just lined up perfectly in the center of the shot.

The building that you see in the distance in the second clip is Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital.

Lord of the Cheesy Things.

This one goes out to all my Tolkifriends!  It’s a sandwich so good that you’ll want your second breakfast right away!

There are no fewer than five kinds of cheese here: American, Swiss, provolone, Muenster and cheddar — all topped off by Duke’s Mayo.  (It’s gotta be Duke’s.)

I call it “The Battle of the Five Armies.”

“Figure in Red Sitting on a Rock,” Odilon Redon

My Latina friend summarizes traditional Irish music after hearing it live:

“They just like being depressed. They like it. They’re still under bondage, still pissed off about potatoes, I don’t know.”

*It’s cool if I laugh at this because I am 100 percent Irish.

You’ve just gotta hear her say it in her bored voice and southwestern accent.  I might just change my Twitter sub-head to “pissed off about potatoes.”



The Piker Press features “An Ode for Fellow Replicants”

I’m so happy today to see The Piker Press publish my homage to what is possibly the greatest film of all time, 1982’s “Blade Runner.”  The title of the poem is “An Ode for Fellow Replicants.”  You can find it right here.

Thanks once again to Managing Editor Sand Pilarski for allowing me to share my voice through such an outstanding online literature magazine!  🙂

The Butterfly Effect.

I cropped an old photo from Warrenton, Virginia, and I really like the way it turned out.
