Europe Looms: With Las Vegas and Maine Coming Up First

Sign of the times: Calvin marquee update.

June and it’s over for us here in the U.S.  I commented today about how surprised I have been that the pandemic has lasted as long as it has. I have to say, despite whoever is still mask-wearing and fretting, damn it, it’s over. We survived, and it is only […]

Storm approaching, South Deerfield Ma solitary

I’ve been spending what feels like a spectacular amount of time solitary, all alone these past few months, and it has lost the charm it once had.  During the height of the pandemic of 2020, it all felt fine to hunker down, day after day, night after night.  I spent […]

It’s a super chilly early March day out there, the kind of day when you’d much rather put another log on the fire than go outside, I want to walk but….come on, too cold. Hoping it warms up soon.  I like this photo I captured of a tiny girl walking […]
