    “Upset, bewildered, betrayed.” So says a top “art” “official” as quoted in Sunday’s Washington Post. What will “the arts” look like in Donald Trump’s America? For all the hand wringing we’ll see, I’d characterize it this way: gravy train’s stopping and … Continue reading →

    No doubt you remember this year’s great trivia question (see “Royal birthday,” April 20, 2016):  Name four celebrities, all born in 1926 and all still going strong, that have been at their current jobs (more or less) waaaay longer than … Continue reading →

    Speaking now of the folks in my adopted homeland… It’s amazing to me that the same people can be so confident and trusting of the players on our local football team, yet show absolutely zero faith in our duly elected … Continue reading →

    Huge. Or as we now say in Washington… yuuge. Yeah, I’m calling this one big. So “the Pack” from Green Bay is a bit down this year. They’re still the Packers, crushers of playoff dreams for us Washingtonians last year. This … Continue reading →

    Damn you, NFL, for keeping me up late with your Thursday night games again. Even the seemingly uninteresting ones that are for most of the game one sided end up hooking me until the last play. Come on! I’ve got … Continue reading →

    Walking around Loudoun County the past two days I have been looking and looking for someone to high-five about our soon-to-be new president. Haven’t found anyone yet. Also, according to my Facebook newsfeed not a single person voted for the … Continue reading →
