The formative years of my teens and twenties were the late 1960s through the 70s. Those were turbulent times that pulled the foundations out from under many of our solid institutions. The music and movies shouted the changing values and lodged earworms into my young brain. I must admit to a lot of confusion during … Continue reading No Excuses

This will be a Quick Six today for the end of December 2020. We've had a frost/light freeze every night this week, but there are still some flowers hanging on in the garden. The pansies and violas don't count. They'll be faithful until I pull out the last vestiges around April. I'll save them for … Continue reading Six On Saturday: Last Week of 2020
