Yesterday and today celebrate a couple of people but I only have eyes for one. (The other is Ed Vedder.) Every year I try to imagine how little Marco growing up in Rome had to fight for his birthday with that other guy. But he … Continue reading Ti piace Manja

Thursday Doors, 20/12/18: 2018 Recap
Norm says to do a recap of this year doorwise, and so I have. I like recaps. They help you see. It felt good going through my year in doors especially since this blog is about to close. Yes, again. I guess I’m eating up … Continue reading Thursday Doors, 20/12/18: 2018 Recap
Lens-Artists: Follow the light
The more pictures I take, the more it becomes obvious that all I do is follow the light. The best is to catch it before it says good night when they say it’s golden, so I do. This magical gallery starts in Ljubljana, Slovenia, where … Continue reading Lens-Artists: Follow the light

In case you are not a regular around here, this April I’m doing the one-poem-a-day challenge for the first time. Today is Day five. But it’s also a Thursday, which means there will be doors. Not as many but a bit special. Elvis Costello sings … Continue reading Day five: Thursday Doors, 5/4/18: My Dog Sighs
Thursday Doors, 15/3/18: Women’s Doors, part 2

Credit where credit is due: there are certain shout-outs … Continue reading Thursday Doors, 15/3/18: Women’s Doors, part 2
Thursday Doors, 8/3/18: Women’s Day, part 1
Women, ladies, friends. Unite and take over. Usually, I don’t look people between their legs, certainly not upon the first meeting. I’m happiest if I read an excellent book or story or see a stunning photograph but don’t know the gender of the writer or … Continue reading Thursday Doors, 8/3/18: Women’s Day, part 1
