If you’re wondering why there’s a lull in the Epstein files discussion, it’s because the law that just passed gave Pamela Jo 30 days to release the files. So we’re all waiting to see how she tries to sabotage it. The discussion will pick back up in earnest on December 20th.

The last 2 from St. Nicholas Priory, Exeter. Left is the view from the top of the stairs with shafts of light lighting up the stairway & right a stained glass window marking the completion of restoration & the start of its use as a museum. I hope you enjoyed your tour of this magnificent building. 😊

Gupta: It’s clear that there’s age-related cognitive decline.
He’s confused a lot. He sometimes mumbles sort of incoherent nonsense when he’s asked a question in the Oval Office.
Clearly they’re not getting MRIs just because, because that’s the moment that we live in. There’s a reason

A quite large oil on canvas portrait of Lorna from 1991. This one is stored away rolled up with other canvases but I just spotted a photo of it on my camera rolll. She was a frequent and very patient sitter for portraits when she lived nearby and has several of them (more available!)

We may be getting the Epstein Files in December, but they’re still hiding the Jobs Report, the Inflation Report, and the GDP Report.

Frank is hosting at dVerse. He asked us to write a haibun that references transformation. 🌲🌲🌲 This year, I waited patiently for autumn to arrive. Once Samhaim passed, it was as if mid-Michigan hung suspended in time. The maple trees wore scarlet headdresses, clusters of brilliant leaves that only appeared at the top of the trees, while the lower branches remained green.
