Merry Christmas everyone!
Lifestream
My lifestream page is probably best understood as an extended version of my blog,
a combined feed of notes, articles, photos and videos, but without all the replies,
likes and reposts that can sometimes add unwanted noise to an IndieWeb site.
My entire feed is available as well.

Oct 24, 2020, 10:44 PM -04:00 Things I Learned In Lockdown
While it's perhaps inaccurate to call the current Covid-19 crisis "unprecedented" (given that the Spanish Flu outbreak in 1918 led to many of the same measures), I think it's reasonable to say that it's unprecedented in my lifetime - and I'm not exactly young.
Accordingly, in these heady times, I don't think it's uncommon to discover a thing or two about yourself. Hell, introspection is almost inevitable, given the circumstances.
In that vein, this is my "Things I Learned In Lockdown" post. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

Sep 8, 2020, 11:10 PM -04:00 It's funny how I can suspend my disbelief about most things in movies or on TV except when people in restaurants order "a beer" or "a whiskey". People never do this! They're always more specific.

Sep 2, 2020, 10:06 PM -04:00 On Carrots in Tomato Sauce
Not long ago, I joined an Italian cooking group on Facebook. I thought it would be a good opportunity to pick up some tips and recipes. I left the group a couple of months later, after some members became...oh, let's call it "agitated"...over whether Sunday ragu was a "sauce" or a "gravy".
It sounds like a joke, doesn't it? Personal attacks stemming from disagreements over culinary terminology seem like such a cartoonish Italian stereotype that you almost think it just can't be true. Or maybe you just don't want it to be.
