Suppose I am Wrong?

The 1979 movie Time After Time is based on the amusing premise that British writer H.G. Wells not only wrote about time travel but actually built a time machine, which took him into the 1980s. There, knowing no one and having no place to go, he enters a church. Kneeling at a pew, he starts […]
A Simple Way to Stop War
By: claycormany in Life in General
As I write this blog, Russia is several days into a military invasion of the Ukraine. Battlefront reports vary, but it appears that Putin’s troops have run into surprisingly strong resistance from Ukrainian forces. What is no surprise is that casualties — both military and civilian — are rising rapidly and thousands of people have […]
The Ohio National Championship Curse
By: claycormany in Life in General
“First Pain, Then Hope.” That phrase headlined the Columbus Dispatch‘s sports page the day after the Cincinnati Bengals lost the latest Super Bowl to the Los Angeles Rams. The trouble is if you are a fan of Ohio sports teams at either the college or professional level you are going to get a lot more […]
2022: Goals, Hopes, and Fears
By: claycormany in Life in General
It always seems the Christmas season comes in fast and leaves even faster; the 2021 holiday season was no exception. Our tree came down on the 1st, and after one final viewing by 4-year-old Daniel Bonner, the Christmas Polar Express display followed suit on the 8th. So now it’s time to look the new year […]
The Polar Express: The Project Begins
By: claycormany in Life in General
One of my favorite Christmas movies is The Polar Express, which centers on a boy, an enchanted train, and a journey he takes with other children to the North Pole on Christmas Eve. Last Christmas, The Polar Express came to my own home in the form of a model train complete with figures of the Tom-Hanks […]
My Opinion: The Two Scariest Movies Ever Made
By: claycormany in Life in General
What would you say is the scariest movie you’ve ever seen? If you are unsettled by the prospect of alien invaders laying waste to planet earth, then maybe War of the Worlds or Battle Los Angeles would be your answer. Or maybe face-to-face encounters with nasty creatures from outer space send a chill up your […]
Tucker Carlson: Is He Really That Bad? Part II
By: claycormany in Life in General
First a confession. This blog is based on three showings of Tucker Carlson Tonight (TCT), rather than the four to which I committed in my previous blog. Somehow, I don’t think anyone reading this posting will hold that against me. So is Tucker Carson really that bad? I’ll address that question at the end. To […]
Tucker Carlson: Is He Really That Bad? Part I
By: claycormany in Life in General
I don’t watch television much these days. Aside from the evening news and an occasional sports event or Turner classic movie, my attention is focused elsewhere. So when my Facebook friends — who are mostly a little more liberal than I — rail about someone or something on Fox News, I don’t really know if […]
The Limits of Legislation
By: claycormany in Life in General
On May 20, President Biden signed the COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act into law. The measure had received solid bipartisan support — an increasingly rare phenomenon — in both the House and Senate. The new law represents a response to the frightening rise in violence against Asian-Americans that has coincided with the coronavirus pandemic. Key provisions […]
Down with COVID-19: The Second Vaccine
By: claycormany in Life in General
I am now safe from COVID-19. Okay, that’s a bit of an overstatement, but after receiving my second vaccine on March 9, I’m as secure from that disease as I can reasonably be. The process of getting the second shot started with me taking my COVID vaccine card off the bulletin board and putting it […]
