My father, Orlando, was born one hundred years ago today. Sadly, he did not live to reach his centennial, but he is fondly remembered as one of the most intelligent human beings I’ve ever known. He made a living designing nuclear-powered submarines! ‘Nuff said!

The sun is low and hot on this autumn day. About 20° hotter than it should be. Beautiful day nonetheless.

Sandy and I celebrated our silver wedding anniversary today. A lot of time has passed since then. People have passed away and moved away, but Sandy and I have stayed together. “We’re a good team,” I always remind her. A Silver Anniversary isn’t something everyone gets to celebrate, and this one we’ve cherished.

Typing a Poem on an Olivetti Typewriter

I shot this video using an ancient Sony HVR-Z1E Camera, the same type used for the movie Once. The typewriter is an Olivetti Linea 88.

Two Poems

These are two new poems typed on an Olivetti Linea 88: "Remembrance of a Summer Night" and "The Black Passover."
