February fugue

February 15, 2021 by Dave Knadler

In Barry Levinson’s 1990 movie “Avalon,” there’s a scene where the aging patriarch sits down in his easy chair in front of the TV. The camera remains stationary, but there’s a slow cross-fade, and at the end of it we see that several years have passed. The old guy is in the same chair, still watching TV, but he has gotten much older.  He hasn’t moved, but […]

In the Bleak Midwinter

December 22, 2011 by Dave Knadler

Happy Solstice, everybody. Shortest day of the year for those of us north of the equator. Even those of us in Florida. That can be both bad and good, right?

Even these days, when […]

That’s pretty darned cold for these parts, though it is December and the news stories today about winter storms “crashing” into the Midwest and “hammering” New England seem a little overwrought. People forget from year to year that a certain amount of cold and snow, in the few […]

A morning without power

March 28, 2009 by Dave Knadler

Guess it’s a storm after all. The power went off at 3:30 a.m., and didn’t come back on until around 10 a.m. In the meantime, our good friends were good enough to have us over for a nice hot breakfast. Thanks, D & D! Now everything is covered in ice and certain branches are hanging dangerously low, and wet snow is coming down hard. But the furnace […]
