WHAT IS “DEPECHE MODE?”

I’ll take college nostalgia for $500, Alex.

(I’m told that this was from tonight’s episode.)

“I LOVE LAMP.”

Are these the coolest Valentines goodies ever?!?!  That is a Himalayan Salt Lamp up top and that’s a big shiny lapel pin on the bottom.  I think the lamp looks like one of the Sankara Stones from “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom” (1984).

And I think the anatomically accurate heart looks like one of the metal hearts created by Dr. Jacob Farmer in my horror tale, “At the End of the World, My Daughter Wept Metal.”  My Valentine didn’t even mean it that way — she just thought the pin was funny … which just kinda makes it awesomely, ominously meta.

Now whoever sees me in my overcoat is forewarned that my hubris will destroy the world.  (Clock’s ticking, people.)

(STAY FROSTY, PEOPLE!)

Today’s agenda:

1) Stopping by the woods on a snowy evening.

2) Figure out whose woods these are. (I think I know — his house is in the village, though.)

3) Reassure my horse if he gives his harness bells a shake to ask if there is some mistake.

4) Keep my promises.

5) Go for miles.

6) Sleep.



(What would the costume even look like?)

There is a mourning dove on the telephone wire out front just staring through my window at me.

This might mean I need to become a mourning dove-themed superhero a la Frank Miller’s “Batman: Year One.”

Figures I’d get the depressing #@&* instead of a falcon or an owl something.

VRNNMMM. VRRRRNNMM-NMM-NMM.

Dammit, I want Covid to be over.

I miss sidling quietly through heavy crowds at the mall making lightsaber sounds.

Seriously, you guys should hear my lightsaber impression. I have a really deep voice and I can do this vvvvvibrating thing with it that sounds straight out of the movies.   Work once stopped for a full afternoon at my first job because my co-workers wanted me to call every department on the phone and do it for them.  I was legend.




(You Jokers will get it.)

Bernie Sanders at Mary Washington College!

Circa 1990.  Also … I have too much time on my hands.

Trying to select a new author photo.

Hey, if there’s a bandwagon, I’ll jump on it.

You know what I’m Tolkien about.

Belly by Bilbo Baggins, hair by Gandalf the Grey, Eye of goddam Sauron if you comment on either.

I don’t have a middle-aged body, I have a MIDDLE EARTH body.




Been there.
