    • Carrion luggage…

    By Frank Paynter | Published: August 28, 2024

    The trouble with over-packing is that you have to schlep all that stuff around with you on your journey. (Darned state of war has eliminated the good old luggage lockers where for two-bits you could park a suitcase while you dithered away your layover time.  I sure wish we weren’t at war.  When the war [...]

    Arts and Letters

    By Frank Paynter | Published: August 12, 2024

    Gee dad, it’s a Pulitzer! … and sort of on the same level of things I missed because I just wasn’t paying enough attention: National Underwear Day (It does, after all, evoke the care-free spirit of Sixties ‘happenings,’ when free spirits took control of public spaces as venues for their art…).

    Death on the Hamster Wheel

    By Frank Paynter | Published: July 21, 2024

    Thus death makes hamsters of us all. RIP Max. Measuring suck-cess, I guess. Thanks to Tom Shugart for noting this in facebook (and to Earnestine for noting it in another context). An aside re. linking into facebook. Anyone can join, and the links seem to work across the log-in barrier; that is: if you’re not [...]

    “I enjoy taking the train and the look on a dog’s face when it’s confused.” There’s really little more to say and thus no reason to write again. [tags]paul ford[/tags]

    Entheogens… steal your face

    By Frank Paynter | Published: May 15, 2024

    I’m freshly inspired tonight. I’ve found some more of my people. It’s not always easy living day-by-day the abstinent way, but sad to say back in the day I had more than my fair share. Now I have to pay attention to my health. So I miss some of the best parties. Still, it’s not [...]

    Travelocity lesson…

    By Frank Paynter | Published: May 4, 2024

    I booked a flight and a hotel through Travelocity.   I had to cancel the trip.  I’m prepared for the penalty associated with re-booking the ticket for another flight another day.  What I hadn’t counted on was the over twenty minutes on hold (so far) that I would experience trying to cancel the hotel reservation through [...]
