  • Coronavirus in New York City

    If any part of the US turns into a complete disaster from coronavirus, I have complete confidence that it will be New York City. It’s just too dense and poorly managed.

  • History

    To be ignorant of the lives of the most celebrated men of antiquity is to continue in a state of childhood all our days. Plutarch

  • Another year…

    So, I’m going to try to be a bit more consistent here, even if what I’m posting is something that is only going to matter to me. I’m not trying to be a news outlet. Just a me outlet.
