August 15th
What is the cause for celebration.
Holy cow. August 15th, National Acadia day, celebrates the Catholic feast of the Assumption, when the Virgin Mary’s body and soul ascended to heaven. Orthodox communities commemorate the Dormition, when Christ’s mother awakens from sleep. Ancient Egyptians celebrated the rising of Sirius, which brilliantly shines as a jewel on Isis.

My stories usually present facts, supported by science as we know it, that are often spoken of in myths. Both can help survival in an ever-changing world.

The Path of Hearts or Pentacles
“Hey man.” Warren grabbed the forearm of his friend Matt, who was the beer bearer for the 40th birthday party. “So, what’s on tap tonight?” queried Warren. Always proud of his artisanal beer, Matt was keen to explain his choice of hops and malts to anyone willing to listen. He had pursued his dream and had landed on his feet, as head brewer for a local pub. He was always pleased to strut his stuff. As they spoke other friends celebrating their spring birthdays joined the party on the last day of May, 2025.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Fear of a Black Hat
Fear of a Black Hat, a Rusty Cundieff film, is one of my all-time favorite movies when I need to laugh. We’re talking Kentucky-Fried Movie territory. You want the uncut version, otherwise you don’t get the Ice Froggy Frog video (below) at the beginning or the discussion about artistic integrity in Cleveland. I own the cut version (😥)—couldn’t find the uncut version at that time, no extra money for it right now, but you aren’t me, so buy the uncut version.
