Failings

Dear world: I’m a failure.

And I couldn’t be happier.

I’ll explain why. First, a note about why I’m posting today.

This is the third anniversary of Lascher at Large’s launch, of the day I first penned a modest declaration about how, “Whether breath on our lips, ink spread across a page, keys hammering into [...]

I’m not the only one shooting pictures. While taking some shots to accompany a piece I just turned in to Biocycle I saw the preparations for this encounter. Was it a wedding in the works? A play rehearsal? Every day life in Portland?

Reading between the blogs

Pondering the five or ten or eight or however many blogs I can’t live without returns attention to my persistent hesitation about my participation in the 2010 Blogathon. I write “my participation” because I want to be clear, whatever my personal qualms, that I appreciate Michelle Rafter’s work putting the Blogathon together and that I [...]
