Musings on Writing and Life.
Seven and deadly and—still, sadly—beyond relevant today.
1. wealth without work.
2. pleasure without conscience.
3. knowledge without character.
4. commerce without morality.
5. science without humanity.
6. worship without sacrifice.
7. politics without principle.

Interests: Reading, writing, not arithmetic. The art and craft of poetry. Photography. Vegetable and flower gardening especially heirloom bulbs and dahlias. Movies in real theatres. Theatre on real stages. Art in real galleries. Crossword puzzles and, of course, Wordle. Singer-songwriters like Aimee Mann and Patti Griffin. All kinds of music especially 1930s jazz. Venice, Italy! The Dude abides.
