Gothic Pilgrimage, visiting the great French cathedrals. 160; Grandeur of composition, nobility of silhouette, perfection of proportion, wealth of detail, infinitely. January 24, 2012. Bless you, Dr. Johnson. Jog'ger: One who moves heavily and dully. -Dr. Johnson's English Dictionary. While many ironists today would not argue with his definition of a jogger, anybody found running in Johnson's day would have been thought mad or bad or both. The meaning Johnson intended wa...

April 3, 2013. An Intrusion of Tiaras. The 2013 Almanach de Gotha. Has arrived and not a moment to soon because in the past year I have encountered more fake tiaras flitting about than there are grifters. I squarely place the blame with Uptown Downstairs Abbey Beyoncé. Have I got this right? And the blatant fantasizing of the life of the British uppers classes. Psst, a scoop. I am convinced that Julian Fellowes is planning to kill off the entire cast! Gothaists hide your tiaras. How beautiful they stand,.

June 24, 2013. A short Grim(m’s) fairy tale. Many years ago one of my godchildren gave me a watch for Christmas. Recently I wore it in the water. Once it was waterproof. No more. I took it to a little watch repair shop. The watch, new, was inexpensive. The repairman said it would cost $75 to fix. I left it with the repairman-no charge-so he could repair and resell it and bought an inexpensive Timex. Great watch. How do I know? Alas, the strap on the Timex was chewed up by the Wiener. 8230;I bought it.

July 27, 2013. Is there a pill for that? Do you ever wonder why we take a turn for the worse? What are the inciting moments, the turning points, and the thing that makes us embrace behaviour that only a handful of years earlier was unthinkable? First-they deny it happened as reported. Next-they admit it happened but insisted it was exaggerated. Finally-they ‘fess-up’. It wasn’t exaggerated or taken out of context but insist.it’s no big deal. Nicked it but refused to walk. That’s cricket, now.

April 25, 2012. The angels in the closet. For pessimists things have never looked rosier. With economic depression, unemployment, environmental disasters, and endless armed conflicts, modern civilization’s final destruction is nigh. All the pundits can hardly conceal their glee at being right. I pray nonstop that they are wrong. And then there is Switzerland’s latest import, the delightful Madonna, who bestowed upon the Swiss citizens her sublime presence. She has invested so much effort to generate an.

November 27, 2012. The ABC’s of Christmas music. 8220;Writing about music is like dancing about architecture.”. Goodness gracious, is it that time already? Never too early to jump back into the shark-infested waters, as my mother always said (may not be true). Soon it will be Christmas. Thank heavens for the BostonGlobe. Talk about news you can use! What should we listen to? Oh, wait. This is in a newspaper. Well, I guess you have to write to your audience. 8220;Historically, Christmas. 8220;But this tro...
