About Me

My photo
Since 1984, my light commentary, Marginal Considerations, has been a feature of Weekend Radio. Moving into the 21st century (yeah, I know - a decade late and more than a dollar short), it may be time to explore the format known as "the blog." (Still on the radio, BTW.) I am the author of A Natural History of Socks, illustrated by the late Eric May, You May Already Be a Winner (and other marginal considerations) and The Nonexistence of Rutabagas, plus maybe 1K features, essays, book and arts reviews in newspapers and magazines nearly everywhere, except perhaps Kansas. I live on Lake Erie one city to the west of Cleveland with too many musical instruments, several large plants and no cats. My front door is purple. I collect dust, take up space and burn fossil fuel. I kayak, knit, hike, sing, canoe, write choral music and play hammered dulcimer, but not all at the same time. I read too much and don't write enough, but what's new?

Thanksgiving Forecast

Thanksgiving Forecast

Following Wednesday’s thaw, expect rising turkey temperatures, reaching a high of 180 degrees by dinnertime, accompanied by drifts of mashed potatoes with some low-lying gravy and widely scattered green beans, tapering off to pumpkin pie.
Beginning in mid-morning, flurries of grandchildren with gusts up to 75 mph are expected in some areas and may continue for several hours. Look for partly drowsy conditions with an 85% chance of football later in the day. The cold front of in-laws will push through between eight and nine p.m., bringing clearing tables and quieter conditions. Looking ahead to Friday, the chance of leftovers is 98%.

    I've been dealing with a cold front of in-laws since March with no signs of it letting up. Makes it so chilly around the holidays!
