Nice way to celebrate the magic hour!

I enjoy a nice class of Pinot as the warm late afternoon sun hits a South Carolina pond.

One of the neighborhood alligators has returned to our backyard. A welcome guest! (Or maybe I’m the guest. It’s cool, regardless.)

Screw it. Primary all of ‘em.

Ten Democrats voted to censure Rep. Al Green, whose only offense was standing up for his constituents against fascism.

Bernie Sanders reacts as if he’s bitten into a rancid peach, which is entirely appropriate if you’re listening to Trump.

Just found out last night that you probably shouldn’t let these guys bloom in winter or skip their dormancy period. A bit too late for now, but at least the traps look healthy enough. Certainly need to re-pot in the spring.

#Godzilla advent calendar reveal, day eight. Maybe Heisei era?

Yet another Godzilla figure hatches from an advent calendar.

#Godzilla advent calendar, day seven. This is one of my favorite iterations — from KING KONG VS GODZILLA, the first time this wee lad saw the Big G.

Another atomic breath #Godzilla on day three of the advent calendar reveal. This looks like the 1954 incarnation.

This resonates as I think of the fear that drives regional theater. Oh, the board, the donors, the patrons! What if they won’t approve? They won’t because of the board, donors and patrons these venues cultivate. Quit chasing approval, y’all. Produce your own vision however and wherever you can.
