Radio v. TV

TS laments that he may have to listen to football on the radio ... see http://roundbendpress.blogspot.com/2015/08/radio-daze.html

I prefer radio. No doubt about kid sports experience. I was a teenager before I watched TV.

Retirement

I'm still in my PJs!

Earlier I made biscuits, made bread, made us biscuits and gravy for breakfast.

Watching crazy LLWS final ... 13-10 in only 3rd, a home run derby.

Will I dress today?

Crapshoot

Quite a shock that Betty died ... younger than I with far less bad habits ... life/death a crapshoot.

R.I.P. Betty Bernhard

Just learned of her death in March. A first rate radical theater artist and professor. We were grad students together. She commissioned and directed my adaptation of a Russian play, The Dragon. Later, while teaching at Pomona College, she brought me down to perform my Guthrie show. Admired the hell out of her.

Wisdom

they happen daily now
the shootings
of family and strangers
of police and suspects
of ordinary citizens
of you and me

and no one knows
how to stop them
so it's not much comfort
to understand Brown
in the tradition of Blake

that modern war (violence)
is war perverted
and the problem isn't war
but the perversion

that the real fight
is the mental fight
the Fiery Chariot
of His Contemplative Thought

something to remember
as you're bleeding
on the street
