The Versatile Mask

The cortex of the human brain has no limits.  It will continue to bob and weave through wars, recessions and pandemics.  We are irrepressible thinkers, chewing on past, present and future in circuitous and sometimes foolish ways. As a devotee of foolishness as relief from bad news, I have been observing the versatility of face…

Who to Trust?

I do not know who to trust regarding politics, pandemics and general pandemonium.   I am so tired of trying to figure it all out that I am diving for the remote when I see President Trump, Dr. Fauci and any of a host of opinionated pontificators. The truth may be “No One Knows.”  It would…

Agnosia

There is a neurological term known as agnosia.  It refers to the inability to recognize or know.  In the “Day of the Mask,” the omission of nose and mouth makes for a bit of a challenge in (a) recognizing someone you know strictly by their eyes,  (b) putting non-verbal cues to the inaudible, muffled voice…

Intermission

Now, donning my mask with the stretched ear holders and planting it under my glasses for stability, I notice that my exhalations filter north and cloud my vision. I also notice that people cheat and leave their noses out of the mask. These are the same people who cheat on their spouses and probably on…

Toilet Paper v. Tissues and Paper Towels

Well, we’re all in the middle of a sudden “change of times.”  I confess I paid $15 dollars for one of two remaining packages of toilet paper at the local Kings market.  The limit was two packages, but I couldn’t remove the last package and leave someone’s backside bereft. I then noticed that the tissue…

President Shmesident

I know everyone has different opinions about Mr. Trump, the array of Democratic candidates and the relentless process of electing a President and Congress in 2020.  The irony of “20/20” isn’t lost on me, since our partisan politics demonstrates the narrowest of vision.  “Me, me, my, me and (if you’ve forgotten) ME!  The facts of…

The Shelf Life of Culture

Every social order seems to go through a process as if it’s a living being.  There is the birth, the life and ultimately the death. New society is born of conflict with pre-existing ways that have caused separation and rebellion.  Our country was born in the sense of marginalization and unfairness by England.  “Give me…

Adjusting to Rapid Change

How do you keep up? We all like to “know that we know!” When change is happening rapidly, we confront what we don’t know on a daily basis. This means accepting the “I Don’t Know Zone” as a part of daily living and accommodating to the learning necessary to move with the times. For me,…

Bias Reporting

Subjective Truth Since most of us operate under the rule of “confirmational bias,” i.e., selective confirmation for what we already believe, the notion of objectivity in the press has become a relic of the past. The competition for viewership, listenership and readership has polarized the media into warring camps. I wonder if the journalism schools…
