Musings, explorations, and adventures

I Contain Multitudes, and I miss blogging and the community it created. What you’ll get here is a weekly post on a variety of subjects including history, books, popular culture, my explorations in the Pine Barrens and elsewhere.

I live near the Pine Barrens, and I’ve been exploring the ghost towns and abandoned mills, finding history, nature, oddness, and maybe even the Jersey Devil.

If you need testimonials, Joyce Carol Oates calls me “a lovely kitty man.”

The logo of me riding a traditional Calabrian battle swan is taken from life, and was painted by Kim Parkhurst.
