My position on vacuum cleaners is, it’s best to keep them where you can find them easily, and my apartment requires frequent vacuuming … Continue reading »
See that urban snapshot above, using multiple exposures to make it look as if cars are whizzing by and everyone in the city is just busy, busy, busy? Well, I should have been moving like that tonight, because I too had a million tasks to do, but I did some nontasks instead. Continue reading »
Then what does one do? … Well, if one is moi, and A.D.D.-afflicted, one reads good book and forgets about ink cartridges for a while.

My eBaY store has been on autopilot for the last few weeks, as I’ve been engaging in more urgent and more profitable endeavors. Even so, I accomplished quite a bit: I sold about $50 worth of stuff without even trying I got suspended for nonpayment of eBaY fees I’m leaning toward specializing in books, once … Continue reading »
Stan Musial, now 88 years old, is one of the greatest baseball players in history, certainly the greatest to have ever played for the St. Louis Cardinals.
