TALK: A Book Not For Everyone
TALK, is a book not for everyone. My take on Alison Brook Woods' book Talk: The Science of Conversation and the Art of Being Ourselves (2025) is that it's an amazing book! The book is essentially equivalent to several years of therapy and psychoanalysis. Trust me on this. Because I've been talking with Psych-girl for … Continue reading TALK: A Book Not For Everyone

I am loving Loveland, my new home--my thirty-sixth. How this happened is an ugly story and one I won't get into.* Which brings up the oft expressed belief, Everything happens for a reason.* Of which I am not an adherent.

If not … Continue reading The State of the Union

Pluribus: “The most miserable person on Earth must save the world from happiness.”Smash or Pass?
Pluribus is a new series on Apple TV (I've watched it on Amazon Prime) with the premiss: "The most miserable person on Earth must save the world from happiness." It explores the question of Free Will versus perpetual joy. At first, I would have kicked it (passed.) Because I thought it disjointed, with a confusing opening. … Continue reading Pluribus: “The most miserable person on Earth must save the world from happiness.”Smash or Pass?
