Quoting from this blog, Memorial Day 2011: “In the annals of the U.S. military there is no shortage of heroes. We can and should honor them all. But to humanize that process, to put a face on it, I suggest … Continue reading →

Posted on May 23, 2013 by editor, facilitator, decider

I’m a longtime supporter of PrezObama, and no fan of FoxNews. But the DOJ is shredding the Constitution and I’m pissed. #HolderMustGo — Pat Worden (@WordsmithWorden) May 23, 2013

Desperate for miracles in Cleveland

Posted on May 9, 2013 by editor, facilitator, decider

A weird disorientation, a juxtaposition, happens when your local news goes national. Most news, alas, is horrific; so when you’re sharing your local horrors with the national audience, the disorientation probably isn’t as noticable. You’re probably just lost in anguish. … Continue reading →

RIP George Jones (Sept. 12, 1931 – April 26, 2013)

Posted on April 26, 2013 by editor, facilitator, decider

Might be strange, maybe even inappropriate, to start off an obituary like this one by saying I’m not the world’s biggest country-music fan. Just happens to be true, though. No disrespect intended to the country music world, and its fans, … Continue reading →

Boom, another book drops

Posted on April 21, 2013 by editor, facilitator, decider

Book drop day. Dropping into an online bookmonger near you, my novella-turned-ebook The Plug and Play Life premiers today. Timeslips, parallel universes, and the abusive psychology of endless searching—all in the format of an extra-longish short story, or a bite-sized … Continue reading →

We ARE Boston

Posted on April 16, 2013 by editor, facilitator, decider

They clearly don’t know us. And that’s to their disadvantage. One imagines they fancy themselves tactically competent, and militarily able. But if they won’t, or can’t, know their enemy—us, the people and nation they’ve chosen for their enemy—then they are … Continue reading →

Trash to treasure

Posted on April 12, 2013 by editor, facilitator, decider

The world sends us garbage. We send back music. That’s the tagline for LandfillHarmonic, which is both an ongoing urban experiment in recycling, and an indie-movie project currently seeking crowd-sourced funding via Kickstarter (as of this writing they’ve received pledges … Continue reading →

Pablo Neruda and the unquiet grave

Posted on April 7, 2013 by editor, facilitator, decider

In the wave-strike over unquiet stones the brightness bursts and bears the rose and the ring of water contracts to a cluster to one drop of azure brine that falls. O magnolia radiance breaking in spume, magnetic voyager whose death … Continue reading →
