    This is the thirty-seventh and final installment to my Coronavirus series, which began two years ago on this date. This installment serves as an index to the entire series. I use the word “indexical” not only to suggest the index herein, but as a reflection of the word’s actual meaning:…

    Song of the Day: Take My Breath features the words and music of a host of writers, including The Weeknd, whose music I’m highlighting this weekend. This song has a throwback 80s feel, and there’s no doubt that the Weeknd, like so many others in his generation, has been deeply…

    As ballroom dancers, Mom and Dad met on the dance floor. Nobody could cut a rug doing a swift Peabody or a Lindy-Hop better! Dad always said if he had to die, he wanted to go out dancing. And that is exactly what he was doing when he died on…

    I enjoyed an Alex Aragona article published on the site of Center for a Stateless Society: “No One is Talking About Capitalism — In Your Sense“. Alex points to many of the problems that I, myself, have noted with using the word “capitalism” in so many different ways that it…

    Song of the Day: The Untouchables (“Soundtrack Suite”) [YouTube link], composed by Ennio Morricone, is one of the highlights to this 1987 prohibition-era crime film, directed by Brian De Palma, and starring Kevin Costner (as Eliot Ness), Robert De Niro (as Al Capone), Andy Garcia, and the Oscar-winning Sean Connery.…
