A moment to pause and thank…. Darrell at the Blog of the Grateful Bear for a very interesting set of interchanges on the death of Falwell (Jerry Falwell, Rest In Peace | Jerry Falwell, Rest In Peace: Part 2). Yours is the far better thing. Joseph Nechvatel (the lively and brilliant) picked up my post on some of his work and put it up on his website, as though I were an actual art critic. If I had known he…
Either way you interpret “WTF,” it was my first thought this morning. “Do you smell a wood fire?” “Is our house on fire?” “Where’s the fire?” “WTF??!?!?!” The whole backyard was full of smoke. I went outside, and couldn’t find the cause. I turned on the news. Weather report: Hazy, sunny, and smoky. Yeah, and?

My neighbor Ron saved me. We were talking “over the fence” the other day and I mentioned that I’d been taken down by bad muscle spams in my back. It turns out that along the way of his medical training, he also picked up a chiropractor license. He said he’d stop by later. I was thinking he’d “crack my back” with an adjustment. Nope. He asked some questions, tested out my range of movement, and then brought out a strange…
