Bang the Drum is my metaphor for doing that which makes me happy. Last session, as I was leaving, Psych-girl asked, "How can you get closer to banging on the drum all day?" She's funny that way--using my words to move me in a positive, healthy direction, towards contentment. That gave me something to think … Continue reading Bang the Drum

Ask Me Anything
Ask Me Anything is a thing. The question is: Is it worth anything? Let's get into it. Ask Me Anything is a semi-popular query of celebrities, or people who wanna be more known for who they are. However, I wonder if the answers are truthful? Moreover if they'd change over time? So, I've made a … Continue reading Ask Me Anything
Toppling Over: a poem
I've begun to restructure this blog. Under the title GREAT DEBATE is now a menu with links to the major categories I write about. [(Ha, ha, or lol? Psych-girl, two sessions ago, pointed out to me that I have "a tendency to categorize everything.") She's right. She usually is.] So far I've listed two. There … Continue reading Toppling Over: a poem
Maureen Dowd and the Presidents
Maureen Dowd is one of my favorite writers. She's been at The New York Times for decades and covering politics, particularly US presidents, for thirty-six years. Beginning with George Herbert Walker Bush, or 41, who was very fond of her. Keep that in mind. Dowd was recently interviewed about that at the New Orleans book festival.

Cortez the Killer: smash or pass
Recently I saw a classical musician's reaction to Neil Young's Cortez the Killer. Water filled my eyes. The song has always been one of my all time favorites. Young broke it out on his 1975 album Zuma. It is about Cortez, Moetezuma II, war and peace. In the 16th Century! Seems relevant given the state of … Continue reading Cortez the Killer: smash or pass
