Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to One & All! 


Year-end is the usual time for most of us to engage in some level of reflection on the past…and to plan for the coming year.
As for me, I am presently reflecting on the fact that after all these many years I have finally discovered…
The Great Truth
There are more things
That I do not know…
Than there are things
That I have forgotten…
And…I have uncovered two competing corollary truths…
- You are never too old to learn something stupid
- You are never too old to learn something, stupid
As you can see, adding a comma is everything!
Looking ahead to 2013, I have decided that at this Fork in Life’s Road* I will leave the ranting and opinion rendering to others and will focus (pardon the pun) on playing with my camera toys making photos…
The above notwitstanding, I will offer one ”snarky” photo obervation about the difficulties of trying to breach Petaluma’s East Side/West Side border crossing in 2012…
For 2013 I plan to concentrate on different locations and scenes to build photo grids. A few photos may show up on this site or on its companion site, THE PETALUMA SPECTATOR PHOTO BLOG—if I am so motivated to post! It may be some time before I do so because at the moment I am more interested in making actual prints than digital postings. Time will tell…

Happy trails to you
Hi, Frank. Who better than a writer knows the immense power in a comma?
Crosstown, Uptown, Downtown. Traffic? No worries. Take the 2/3 train for Upper West Side, or the 4/5 for Upper East Side. Worst that can happen, your express train goes local on ya. Occasionally the tunnels fill with water, but only in hurricanes.
Merry Mayan Apocalypse.
