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?

New Year's Forecast

The morning of Jan. 1 will bring a 74% chance of hangovers in many locations, followed by intermittent flurries of regrets, changing to resolutions by evening. Expect drifts of pork and sauerkraut over the Midwest, with pop-up showers of hoppin'john in the southern states. 2011 calendars and day planners may appear by sunset. Across the country, football will remain steady throughout the day.

  1. I hope to avoid the regrets AND the football.

  2. Just when my flurries of regrets were about to take on blizzard-like proportions, I read this and the sunshine of well-crafted humor appeared instead.
    Thank you, Jan C.
