Six O’Clock Vintage

Seek those images that constitute the wild, the lion and the virgin, the harlot and the child. Find in middle air an eagle on the wing, recognize the five that make the Muses sing. | W.B Yeats, Those Images

The Gospel of Lear

Buechner on Shakespeare and his King Lear:Insofar as the truth is tragic, he told a tragedy of men and women suffering more than even their own folly and wickedness seem to merit. Insofar as the truth is comic, both in the sense of a kind of terrible funniness and ...

For Good Measure

This image is much better, and comes from an activity I did with my family on my Thanksgiving Trip home to Kansas City:

Volume: 11

I've been shockingly busy lately, and I'm nursing a cold. But I think a bit of extra promotion for the big event tomorrow is in order. This weekend is marked by the second Annual Global Summit on AIDS. Heritage will be recognizing World AIDS Day on Friday, December 1st, by ...

History’s Joke

The extraordinary diversification of thought existing in the world has traditionally been channeled through structured lines. That is, syllogisms and precepts that act as guides to “new” rivers of discourse. Though conceptions of the Foundation have varied throughout the centuries the death of the Foundation, and thus the ...

All Hallow’s Eve

Who else would I be for Halloween?There is something slightly disturbing to me about the motions required to carve a decent pumpkin. Far too much jabbing and twisting and slashing; but I suppose that is right up V's alley.Anyone out there participating in a masquerade?

Liquid Chrome

I went mountain biking on Saturday with some friends. We rode the trail at Alum Creek State Park, which twists and turns along ravines and along this very section of the lake. I took these images the night before our ride (I wanted to check how muddy the trail was).

Autumn, Chromaticized.

Autumn has begun its annual encroachment, and I've captured it a few times on lunch breaks at the park. I'm already planning my Halloween Costume...

Last Saturday

"Cappucino?" bellows the waiter. Happy bustle is the norm and cool fog surrounds everything with a gentle ambience. Spoons rattle softly and a delicate aroma of flowers fills in the sensory cracks. It is a Saturday morning utopia, almost. There is only one encroachment to my ...

Phantastes – a brief review

After reading George MacDonald’s "Phantastes" it is clear to me why CS Lewis chose MacDonald to be his Virgil in "The Great Divorce."  "Phantastes" is truly one of the most remarkable works I have ever read.  Overflowing with rich imagery and lyrical finely measured prose (along with some superb longer ...

“You’re a Phony, a Big Fat Phony! Hey Everybody, He’s a Phony!”

I know that China is the home of iPhone rip-offs and lead-filled Colgate, but it appears that their duplicity and fakery  don't end with electronics and domestic household products. China admitted faking the opening fireworks of the Olympic Opening Ceremony as well as faking the voice of the cute little singer ...

Mountain Lion Drags Dog out of Owner’s Bedroom

Crazy story, this is a small front range town just southwest of the Denver area.  I go mountain biking in this area all the time. A mountain lion slunk into the master bedroom of an Idledale home early Monday, snatched a yellow Labrador retriever and vanished. Officers are hunting the mountain lion ...

iPhone Apps

I spent the weekend at a cabin in the mountains and so didn't get a chance to download the the latest iPhone software update until late Sunday evening.  After a frustrating flurrey of "restore, verify, restore" proceedings I finally was forced to delete by back up and do a full ...
