Welcome to The Old Blog
Below you will find entry into The Old Blog. These posts cover the entirety of The Big Change from Life Afloat to The Hiatus. It’s a long read so take your time and come back often. While it’s a big ask on my part, understanding how I ended up where – and why – I did will simplify the so-called narrative arc and make a lot less work for me trying to explain all that in each and every current post. So strap in and get started but be warned: there be dragons here.
The Old Blog is shown starting with the oldest post. This – rather thoughtful move on my part – means that, when read in order, you get to see how the whole story with all its twists, turns, and confusing diversions simply falls into place. Sort of like tossing a jigsaw puzzle into the air and having it land with each piece exactly where it belongs.
But that’s life.
Thanks for reading.
The Apple of My Eye
In which the author is shaken from his tryptophanic coma by the realization that he’ll soon be awash in apples. Cider apples.
The Emperor’s New Ferrari
In which the author plows in to the fertile soil of rationality to show – precisely, he might add – exactly how the poitical solutions to the (still) ongoing global financial crisis do not actually fully begin with what the problem is. Note: While the authors analysis was valid at the time of publication, things have only gotten worse. Using the USA as an example, the bad numbers expressed herein are almost, but not quite, twice as big as those expressed here. So follows the rest of the planet.
What’s So Funny About Murder?
In which the author dives into the concept that, for a writer, tragedy plus time equals comedy. Up to a point that is.
Smoke Gets in Your Eyes
In which the author puts down the doughnuts and Doritos and gets busy trying to understand the economics of marijuana. Waiting, of course, for the current legalization effort to complete.
What Are You Wineing About?
In which the author retells the events leading to the viniferous expansion of the micro-farm.
Keep Your Calendar Open
In which the author offers a deep dive into such esoteric subjects as dreams, calendars, and death.
