Maine is breathing a heavy sigh of relief. It's been a tough couple of days.
As I begin my climb into the 40s, I am starting to lose hair. It is thinning out and receding along the front. I also have started to see quite a bit of my hair in the shower drain. It's not a surprise; most male family members of mine have male pattern baldness, and in fact, despite being the...
"A rhythm stirs within the earth
That tells all nature of a birth

And lead us from this darkest night
God of the Sun, now have you come?

I am looking forward to new expansions!
“PITY THE NATION”
Lawrence Ferlinghetti (After Khalil Gibran)
Pity the nation whose people are sheep
And whose shepherds mislead them
Pity the nation whose leaders are liars
Whose sages are silenced
And whose bigots haunt the airwaves
Pity the nation that raises not its voice
