I don’t know what’s wilder: the daily ongoings of American politics or the testimony from the ongoing Diddy trial. Every day my flabber is gasted in ways I can’t explain.

Man, it’s really unfortunate that military tech companies choose names from Tolkien’s works. I wonder if their founders actually read his work.

An eternal pet peeve of mine is musicians naming themselves, their songs, and albums in ways that don’t agree with my grammatical sensitivities.

All of my electronic devices are named after characters or places from Middle-Earth. Quite understandably, then, I’ve misplaced to flash drives called Pippin and Meriadoc!

I love rock music. But Steely Dan and Dire Straits are lies and propaganda.

My dogs aren’t impressed my word count even though I write to pay their vet bills. All the care about is “food”, “snack”, “let’s go”, and “stick.” In my next life I would like to come back as one of my dogs.

“Tombstone” is one of my favourite Westerns and Val Kilmer as Doc Holiday is one of its memorable characters. Snappy dialogue and dresser. “Say when” and “I’m in my prime” are my go-tos. I liked him in “Batman Forever” and “Heat” too. Also: that name—Val Kilmer. I mean.

Just like someone can’t meditate for you, exercise for you, or diet for you, it’s not possible to remove the glorious mess of living, loving, losing, figuring things out, coming up short and still trying, aspiring and being inspired from the creation of meaningful art.
