Long-time word wrangler ... writer, teacher, and editor. I also love reading and hearing words, spoken and sung, in as many different voices as possible ... so naturally, a Dylan fan since 1965 ...

I remember running downstairs to my sister's apartment yelling, "he taped everything. He taped everything." Still amazing!

Everything is Broken
Everything is Broken YouTube video by pedal4ever

Broken hands on broken ploughs
Broken treaties, broken vows
Broken pipes, broken tools
People bending broken rules
Hound dog howling, bull frog croaking
Everything is broken

I get yelled at for saying this but for many hundreds of years people went to university not to get diplomas or be employable but because immersion in the humanities was considered foundational to a good life, and school must return to its original purpose: the joy of learning.

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

My son is north of Toronto, a veritable Vernors desert as well. He once drove back with about 24 cans in the back seat. His Canadian friends were mystified ...

My daughter moved to Paris several years ago. Vernors is the one thing she really misses from her northwest Ohio childhood. If you know, you know.

Heard an interview today where a guy said (and I'm paraphrasing) "LLMs have had years to train on every aspect of chess, read every book and article about it, review every match, but when they play, they STILL makes illegal moves. That tells you everything."

And.

Yup.

Photo of three kittens--black, white & tabby--investigating the contents of a box of doughnuts. The black kitten has investigated a powdered doughnut so closely its face is a little white mask.

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

My grandmother was born in Toronto to American parents who returned to Ohio 4 years later. I'm now waiting for my citizenship certificate and passport. You have to collect birth and marriage certificates for three generations and can apply yourself, but a good immigration lawyer is a better choice.

How does your garden grow,
With silver bells and cockle shells
And pretty maids all in a row
