Imitation Edgar Allan Poe – 1809-1849 A DARK unfathom’d tideOf interminable pride -A mystery, and a dream,Should my early life seem;I say that dream was fraughtWith a wild, and waking thoughtOf beings that have been,Which my spirit hath not seen,Had I let them pass me by,With a dreaming eye!Let none of earth inheritThat vision on my spirit;Those thoughts I would control,As a spell upon his soul:For that bright hope at lastAnd that light time have past.And my worldly rest hath goneWith a sigh as it pass’d on:I care not tho’ it perishWith a thought I then did cherish. From Tamerlane by Edgar Allan Poe

My website, unfortunately, crashed the last week of January this year. Due to this fact, my posts may be without some images. The content and most links are still good. There may be posts without pictures permanently as it’s hard to recreate 3 years’ worth of work, however, I am doing my best. Please pardon the inconvenience and I hope you’ll still visit the site.

It’s a brand new year and all about resolutions. I’m not big on listing resolutions, but I have been mulling this post over for several months. I like the idea of shaping your life to make it fuller and full of wonder. Of doing those things that you know will make you content. Someone once told me that striving for contentment is easier to achieve than overall happiness. Happiness as a feeling…

Men in Kilts: A Roadtrip with Sam and Graham is a series on the Starz channel that features actors – Sam Heughan and Graham McTavish – from the show Outlander. For those that don’t know, Outlander tells the story of two lovers, their adventures in history, and time travel. Yes, based on the Diana Gabaldon novel it involves time travel. Scotland is a major player in the novel and tv show and this road trip series is about these actors exploring Scotland and all its traditions. It came out in March, I recorded it, and am only now watching it. You can probably find it on demand or online. The scenery is absolutely beautiful. This post contains affiliate links.

I thought about one of his quotes when I’ve considered social skills being rusty after we’ve all been through a pandemic. We’ve been used to our bubbles and much less socializing. With vaccines and careful limits, we’re easing back into interaction. Are our skills rusty? Can knowing a list of ice breakers help? The quote that started me down this path is the one from Wilde: “Conversation about the weather is the last…
