  Take a look around you, or look up from your phone…do you see (as the late great Tom Petty proclaimed on his final album release), the “Hypnotic Eye?” Damn near every hominid in the western world has been overtaken by the ubiquitous so-called smart phone. Flat out in this digital dadaist age. It’s so sick. […]

• Time Wave Zero

  

  Where did the last 24 months go? Poof. Forever Gone. Time itself has never been more keenly felt than these past two years. Days felt dazed; Time slowing to a crawl, or rapidly dissipating into the ether in a swirling digital mosaic. Very strange times. My mantra for these last two years: “That was a […]

• Disconnections & Reconnections

  

  During this pandemic, reconnections have been made. Especially with those old past times which fell by the wayside. The simple things. Reconnecting with an old friend (and Lover) from a distant era. Hanging with a friend. Reconnecting with our families – sharing meaningful time and laughs together. Listening to old records (albums!) through headphones. Knowing […]
