With the issue of gun violence and gun control on everyone’s mind these days, I’d like to share a couple of observations. First, to those who are for greater gun control, we should recognize that this is a complex issue for many people and has to be dealt with sensitively if we hope to make … Continue reading
Those who have watched the development of the Romney campaign with incredulity, and no small amount of amazement, have certainly asked themselves at one point or another: How is it possible that it has managed to get away with so many distortions, half-truths and outright lies? How is it that–political pundits and liberal-leaning journalists aside–so … Continue reading
Reading about the recent speculation from some applied mathematicians that the speed of light is not necessarily an absolute limit, it is interesting to think about what might be on the other side of that “veil” of light. Is it the true nature of the flaming sword of the cherubim–that which sets the boundary between … Continue reading
The following is a response to Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban’s blog post on his opinion about Mitt Romney’s tax plan. The original blog post can be found at http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mark-cuban/governor-romney-tax-plan_b_1960967.html. Mark, thanks for your assessment of the situation, which I truly appreciate. I will say up front that I am not a fan of Governor … Continue reading
View of Lycabbetus Hill and Piraeus (Athens, Greece) taken from Mt. Penteli (Nikon D70, Nikkor 70-300mm lens). Not bad for a quick late afternoon hike in the old “back yard”!
Well, it’s beginning to look a lot like caucus time—and nothing goes better with a good caucus than a new poll! But rather than bore you with the same tired old politico names (you know who they are!), I thought I’d entertain you with something a little different for a change. So here it is—my snap poll … Continue reading
I’d love to take credit for this shot, but alas I cannot tell a lie. It was taken by my wife (on her Nokia cell phone, believe it or not) on the slopes near Kalavryta, Greece, just after New Year’s 2012. Now that’s what I call a brilliant start to the new year!
Okay, okay, so it is New Year’s Eve after all, and the poems in my last post were not necessarily the most cheerful of the lot. So, thinking that I’d better close out the year on a less dour note, I leave you with yet another poem which I wrote some years ago, this one in London. The inspiration came from Sir Lawrence … Continue reading
Since it’s the end of the year, I thought I would do something a little different and post a couple of my poems—one written a number of years ago, and another started several years ago and lost, then found and finished just this year. My apologies in advance to anyone who may become traumatized for … Continue reading
Taken over the waters near Mt. Athos, Greece with my Nikon D-70. And this is what I wish for you in the year ahead: blue skies forever…and the wind at your back.
