Week 97 — COVID-19 RANDOM NOTES WHILE SHELTERING IN PLACE
By Phyllis Merriam Covid Time is something I’ve thought about these past two years, as we enter the third year and fifth wave of the pandemic. (I should say, this pandemic. It will not be the last one.) During covid, I’ve noticed time seems to lag, speed up, or result...
Waving Wrong
By Phil Crossman Last week a perfect snow fell. It was perfect for cross country skiing which Elaine and some friends responded enthusiastically and it had just enough togetherness to respond perfectly to an effort by three youngsters to roll it into a big ball, a ball...
My Painting toolbox

What are Florida ounces?

AN ISLAND IS AN ISLAND
Do you find that, although you like the general ‘heft’ of New York City, Manhattan is not quite the island experience you’re looking for? Take heart! In many respects an island is just an island, whether circumscribed by the East, Harlem and Hudson Rivers there, or by East Penobscot Bay, The Reach and the Fox Islands Thorofare here. Vinalhaven, the largest island among this Archipelago, has enough in common with Manhattan that…

Call it AI, call it robots, or call it big tech. No matter what, we are giving away our souls. But there are ways to keep our souls…
