Kurt Schwitters, 1939, Oil and Wood on Plywood
Greetings all, Steve here. Well, I’ve often thought that much of what happens in government was silly and pointless (and many others seem to feel the same way) and I’m glad to see someone in government finally coming out and admitting it. The mayor of Lawrence Kansas, one, […]
Steve here, with a warning for the public. Goodness gracious. I had no idea this was so dangerous. The world must be warned. Anyone want to volunteer to organize a telethon?

Good day to all, Henry here. We got a bit sidetracked for Christmas, but I wanted to give a few more thoughts on grief. As I said in my last post, shock is the first stage of grief and loss. The second stage is denial: “No. This has not happened!” It is critical to realize […]
Merry Christmas to all, Steve here. I’m aware that I usually come across as fairly cynical on this thing, but that’s misleading.

Greetings all. Sorry I’ve been MIA so far today, but I got waylayed by different people asking for money at the mall. A couple of the people got into a fist-fight over who was going to get my $1.75 and it took the mall security a while to sort it out. Did you know those […]
Greetings all. Normally I post funny stuff, but I thought this was too good not to pass on. How To Make A Spy Scandal Disappear In Ten Easy Steps. Funny stuff incoming this afternoon.
Just a short post today, answering the eternal question: What personality type is Santa? What do you think? It seems to me he has to be a sensing type to keep track of all of the children – if not, no one would ever great the right gift! He’s likely extroverted, ‘cause how could he […]
Christmas time is one with many different kinds of magic. Christmas movies and songs try to capture the magic of Christmas. My experience is that most of these things succeed a little bit. This week I would like to connect with genuine Christmas Magic- that is magic out of our own experiences. I hope that […]
