I hate the circadian cycle I’m suck in. it’s 3:46 PM and I’m just now starting to write. I found myself awake at 2:30 last night for no good reason. I woke up at 6:30, went to the bathroom and back to bed. My alarm woke me at 8:30, I got out of bed, but […]

The WFUV member drive is over and I’m back to writing. It was a tough week for me; I was always on the verge of falling sleep, right now I’m on the verge of falling asleep. The only time I wasn’t in danger of falling asleep was when I was in bed trying to go […]

UNION
Then I hunted down union songs. I started to preach to the masses, my eyes started to glow. When my eyes do the glowing thing I have to give in and write. I’m no longer a free agent but a vessel of the truth.

This has been a Shawna Caspi weekend. I saw her Friday at the American Folk Art Museum and Saturday at the Old Franklin Schoolhouse in Metuchen.
I’m not a nationalist but I am a patriot. The one ritual I practice every year is reading the Declaration of Independence. This centuries-old document finds new ways to be relevant; that is the genius of Jefferson. The bulk of it is a list of specific abuses of the crown but even they can find modern parallels. I always present the Declaration here by either posting the text or a link to the text. This year I’m posting the actual text and bolding the parts that speak to me. It won’t be difficult to imagine who currently plays the role of George III.
Weird day. I couldn’t get myself to write earlier. I got anxious just thinking of getting off my chair and making breakfast. After I showered I went to check out the local Foodtown to see if it can be my prime supermarket. That would be great as it’s just a nine-minute walk away. A decent […]
I am finding going to write my immigration blog; I’ve been running it over and over in my head; not that it will make it any better. But first a word from our sponsor, my life.
Yesterday, I defended your freedom by looking silly. I look silly every day; but yesterday I used my silliness for good. Others were perhaps sillier, and clearly more talented than me. Before I get to that I’ll tell you my adventure as an eco-warrior. As happens to so many soldiers in wartime I did things I regret.
