Craig is a professor and a bit of an obsessor, but never a confessor, aggressor, represser, and rarely a dapper dresser.
I wouldn’t mind a new riff on Rolly Crump’s Tower of the Four Winds with water and greenery at its base.

Sorry to hear about Jules Feiffer's death. But I guess that much productive creativity and 95 years ain't too bad a story.

"It is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant. Don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to the fear. Hold on to the truth and to hope, even if you have to get out your phone. Record that message, ‘I will not give into the lies. I will not give in to the fear.’" --Jim Acosta as he quit CNN

I'm glad to hear that Biden, as one of his very last acts as president, has allowed Leonard Peltier to leave prison for home arrest for his remaining days. This doesn't forgive an unjust prosecution and trial, but it does allow Peltier to live with a degree of dignity for the remainder of his life.

I wouldn't go with you to see Billy Joel, the Foo Fighters, Coldplay, Kid Rock, Kanye West, or M.I.A.
I'm open to other suggestions.
I'd love for Randy Newman to return to singer songwriting.

Fritz Lang’s Ministry of Fear (1944), starring Ray Milland and based on Graham Greene’s novel, would be a good film to remake. The film entertains, but I wanted it to be less clear for longer about whether Milland’s Stephen Neale was insane or trapped in a series of bizarre events.

Sponge and loofah do the trick.
Pink skin and cheeks, he never reeks,
But smells so sweet: hurray!
Balthazar Josephus Fleet:
The USA's greatest Bathelete!

Yet Balthy has a skill
One that he practices still:
To tub all night and day
Until his skin does pucker,
Man, he loves to bathe, this sucker!

Always dressed so neat.
But fit? Jose, no way!
Balthy's no athelete.

Is clearly no Mathlete:
Renowned with osteopaths
As cracked at sums and graphs.
Fun with bots and scammers.
