I'm not sure why I feel this way, but if you're coming at me with "scary stories about Appalachia," then I am blocking your channels.

I spent the weekend here: "Trigg's Station," about 4 miles NW of Harrodsburg KY, was established by Stephen Trigg, a settl and Revolutionary War officer. He settled here in 1780, during a turbulent period in Kentucky’s early history, marked by conflict with Native American tribes and British forces.

Some advice: - be kind - tip well - stay weird - festoon your antlers with moss & wildflowers - disappear into a malevolent fog at least once a month - become a haunted horror at the dark heart of the forest

I've said it before, and stand by it today: the moment your article/essay/whatever emits the word "I" or "me," that article/essay/whatever begins to suck. Only very rarely is this not the case. It is never the case for autobiographies.

As we all enjoy our holidays, we should try to remember the true meaning of Christmas, as shown to us by Dickens in A Christmas Carol: undead creatures torturing the rich with threats and sleeplessness until they treat people better.

Those of you who know me, know that I can be something of an aesthete when it comes to the clarity of the ice in my whisky. Clear is best and directional freezing is the only way to get there. Tried it with an off-brand stanley- type mug that I found in a hotel room, and the results were... decent!
