    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Wo sind Sie Trench? I once had an apartment in Munich. :)

    The Era -- Day By Day

    Against what background is known, paterfamilias Padraic isn't. Probable, seemingly but at considerable distance and time inchoate largely due to said maternal flight. Mister Ryan is disadvantaged considerably by any objective light. And there remains equity. Normandie is responsible for the...

    The Era -- Day By Day

    Putty-on-a-stick, dual ignition off fuse ignitors, or plastique and dynanite, the perfect all around one size fits all general purpose explosive charge, but grenades and pins, nada, zip, zero those pineapples best kept frozen until ready to eat. Underscoring their dialogue is the salient...

    What Are You Reading

    I must read this. The Chicago Tribune was my mainstay paper, I delivered it as a deliveryboy, my granduncle was editor after the Colonel's era when both town and press room relaxed somewhat, it printed my letters when in college, my regular pick up for years at LaSalle Street. Like Walter...

    The Era -- Day By Day

    Looks a tad Woodrow Wilsonesque, even without the ol' pince nez.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Seems a nod to Ave Maria as performed by Dimash Kudaibergen.

    Do You Stick to One Decade?

    Sartorial issues occasionally reflect underlying societal philosophies in vogue, and the 1917 officer trench is a case in point. For aesthetic or just trespass raison d'etre the original had to be castrated to correctness. It is difficult to find a trench today that is tailored to original spec...

    Do You Stick to One Decade?

    A last word.... Age all too often bows to youth, a frequency occasioned as much by envy as to beauty, fear; whatever cause, reason, rhyme- pick your poison please; and, in my view-at least on campus the bow is far too deep. The Homeric whisp: Aphrodite robs the wits of the wise; so'er...

    The Era -- Day By Day

    Life's vagaries can be traversed far too easily with the benefit of hindsight, of course, while omniscience lends far too much credence to the sin of supposition; avoiding factual analysis alltogether. Whether pursuit would have triumphed now cannot be ascertained as anything beyond conjecture...

    What are you listening to?

    Gotcha. Good to see folk back on the dance floor. Forgot to include Felicia Saunders' iconic Where Is Your Heart? and, of course, Percy Faith's orchestral. If you haven't seen The Red Violin I heartily recommend this film. The ultimate chick flick but a movie of substance; dovetails with a...

    What's for Dinner?

    Left over baked chicken, scallop potatoes, salad with Italian Seasoning, and a cold can of Miller Lite.

    What are you listening to?

    Stranger On The Shore is a permanent treasue tucked inside my Youtube mix file. Billy Eckstein's Secret Love; Matt Monro's Love Is A Many Splendored Thing; Etta James' At Last. And either Hatfield or Monro for Unchained Melody. Wild Turkey 101 a fine rye poured over ice to accompany...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    ^Years ago, long past. Hackman had credibility. IN SPADES. For some inexplicable last nite rewatched Fury. Like Hackman, Pitt has the King of Spades locked down.

    The Era -- Day By Day

    Idigenous New Guinea tribal headhunting.... Some American Southeast Asia transplants foreign to native culture just wrapped bicycle chains with black electrical tape or went out clean armed only with a Jap tanto razor or a Randall #9 knife and started Charlie sandal collections. Baseball cards...

    The Era -- Day By Day

    Pedagogical dollar didactive from Brooklyn College, home base of Prof Frederick Wheelock, Latinist extraordinaire. Why oh why do I always learn so late? I should have gone to Brooklyn and studied under Wheelock. 'The poor man's Harvard.' Poor? I was flat-assed broke. And did I ever knock around...

    The Era -- Day By Day

    Padraic: Request the learned trial judge for permission to treat witness Norms as hostile. Caniff sketches characters of meaningful cut, tailored to readership hearts and minds. I care about Burms-she recalls a woman in my past; and HuShee is a Chinese girl admired at distance since she was...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Marburg. When a twenty year old visited a friend for a week, all the ladies I met were women of substance, depth, perception. Curls, straight, short or long tresses. Later, in Thessaloniki, I was approached by a curly haired thirty-five year old frau. She subsequently offered to adopt me so I...
