Reading you is like staring through a prism You’re among the more complex organisms Not exactly a compliment but I cannot deny Not black or white, just old school tie dye I often heard, conform and be one of the squares Eat your vegetables and say your evening prayers Do your homework and don’t … More Magnification
I always like the title of this song written by YES guitarist Steve Howe. I don’t believe he was thinking about any particular day of the week when he composed it, but I would expand this idea to be “Mood for Each Day of the Week.” For me, each day has a special feel to … More Mood for a Day

If you are younger than age 50, Watergate is just something from the history book. The name John Mitchell will not likely resonate either but he was the Attorney General of the United States under Richard Nixon. Remember Nixon? He was the first President to visit China and the first to resign from office. Mitchell … More In Defense of John Mitchell
