“All that we have is that shout in the wind …”

“I will die. You will die. We will all die and the universe will carry on without care. All that we have is that shout into the wind – how we live. How we go. And how we stand before we fall.”

―  Pierce Brown, Golden Son, 2015

Throwback Thursday: this 70’s(?)-era photo of NolanKin.

I don’t even really remember how I got this photo, or how it wound up in my backup files.  I think it is from the late 70’s?

That is my dad, Robert James Nolan, when he was younger than I am now, along with my eldest sister and (I think) our first family dog, Shadow.

 



Happy Thanksgiving, all!

I hope that you have a wonderful holiday with your loved ones.

I never noticed this before — there is a Ukrainian flag flying at the Roanoke Valley War Memorial.

This is me trying to channel Andy Warhol.

It is absolutely not what I meant to create with the various shots that I edited from a single original.  But the free online … collage-maker arranged them at random.

Oh, well.  It’s … still visually interesting?  (“I’m … Ron Burgundy?”)
