A word in the hand…. A blog by Dan Newman. March 9, 2016. Be Nice to the Old Folks: A Cautionary Tale. Deciding to set off down the path of being a writer is really an act of penance. For what, we’re never actually told, but I’m pretty sure it’s payback for being some form of ne’er-do-well in a former life. For me, I assume I must have pushed over old ladies and ran away with their purses. Or perhaps I just pushed them over for fun purses be damned. Think twice before messing with Granny…. Anyway, I star...

I, Druid. | A word in the hand...
https://newmannotes.wordpress.com/2016/04/03/i-druid
A word in the hand…. A blog by Dan Newman. April 3, 2016. Not the BBQ you’ll find at my house. And because I subscribe to the annual BBQ approach, I also have the pre-summertime ritual of “the build”. Yes – that’s right, exactly like the Druids of old. It’s spring now, so I’m facing the build once again. And after about 15 years of the this cycle, I almost have enough parts – left over from prior builds (they’re spares, right?

A word in the hand…. A blog by Dan Newman. March 1, 2016. Time… How quietly it slips by. I just had one of those moments when you look up and realize that decades have snuck by. I remember clearly a scene they shot where they blew up a large radio controlled helicopter over the water at one of beaches, and as soon as they called cut , a swarm of us kids charged into the water to collect the bits. As soon as I saw the poster I had this wonderful rush of childhood memories, followed closely by the terrifyi...

The Doubting Writer: Monday Musing: Hugs and Brain Cramps
http://doubtingwriter.blogspot.com/2015/07/monday-musing-hugs-and-brain-cramps.html
Where I angst over my inadequacy as a writer. Monday, July 6, 2015. Monday Musing: Hugs and Brain Cramps. Over the last few weeks there's been a flurry of hugging going around. It's a natural consequence of high school graduation- people suddenly come at you with arms open, as a way of saying both "Congratulations! Do you notice this, too? I'm curious if this is a universal approach or more of a western culture thing. It was a strange moment, a piece of information that either went missing from my brain ...

More in concert than any other song, performing it over 600 times. Links to this post. The phras...

Where I angst over my inadequacy as a writer. Monday, June 29, 2015. We Made It.Now What? This last week we spent a lot of time around the kids and parents of the Catbird's classmates. Some of them, like us, watched their last child graduate this year. Others have one, two, three or more to go. I find myself wondering how our relationship with these people- and with the community as a whole- will change. So much of our lives is centers around our kids and their. Links to this post.

The Doubting Writer: The Mockingbird Sings A Different Tune
http://doubtingwriter.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-mockingbird-sings-different-tune.html
Where I angst over my inadequacy as a writer. Monday, July 20, 2015. The Mockingbird Sings A Different Tune. Of all our feathered friends, the northern mockingbird has one of the greatest, most descriptive names ever: Mimus polyglottos. Rather than have some awkward Latinized name to memorialize the person who discovered it (see: Bachman's warbler, Vermivora bachmanii. The mockingbird's name pretty much sums up what the bird is all about: "Many-voiced mimic." Here's a sample:. Hero, Atticus Finch . He de...
