Squibs




We're advised to limit our screen time. But the eye is a screen and the brain an in-home cinema.

Your strongman leader will quash your enemies and you like that. But the son of the strongman will quash you, which you won’t like.


Prayer is anxiety reduced to a formula. 


In the fog of war, we shoot our own allies. In the fog of anger we shoot our own foot. 


The attentive host will always remember that what feels like a cozy nest to himself may look to his guest like an ogre’s den. 


My worst habit is letting my good habits erode.

  1. I'd say that cozy nest would be your car, versus your wife's car; definitely an ogre's den that one, replete with chewed chicken bones, used napkins, grease gun tubes, one-handed gloves, empty mosquito repellent cans, several weeks worth of newspapers, crushed cardboard boxes for use in the yard somewhere, grocery bags versus plastic grocery sacks, an old book bag and some gnarly bits of something or other. I suggest some aerosol air freshener.

    2. Obviously. How about a branch of fresh cedar or spruce; a bar or two of Irish Spring soap under the seats? A cautionary ogre odor-warning sign; a free left-over-from-Covid mask? Leave all the windows down a little before you park it for the night? Your favorite underarm deodorant? Whew, I'm almost out of suggestions ...

  2. The fog of war. The fog of anger. Brothers in arms.
