Requiem
There’s a section in the old Simon and Garfunkel song “America” that always makes me feel a twinge of melancholy: “‘Kathy, I’m lost,’ I said, though I knew she was sleeping/ ‘I’m empty and aching and I don’t know why.’” … Continue reading

The Trapper Keeper is back
Y’all. They’re selling Trapper Keepers again. No, really. They are. Now, perhaps Mead has been selling Trapper Keepers, or some version thereof, for all the many years since I was in the sixth grade. Probably they have. But this is … Continue reading

Rain, rain, go away
A long string of storms blew through Tennessee last night, and another line of storms came through here this morning. Is it bad that I never heard any of the tornado sirens that allegedly were going off everywhere? Or that … Continue reading
