Is it just me or has life taken up residency in the theatre of the absurd lately? "Shock and awe" I saw'em calling it, remember how that worked out the last time? DemocraticRepublican Guard puts

Went for a stroll yesterday, just wandering around the neighborhood. Still not sure how exotic Beechmont is but it definitely manages to live up to the wild from time to time. Does this count as exotic

Here in Louisville we have two mayors. One is inevitably a self important blowhard and the other is a National Historic Landmark. Still now sure how it is a 'landmark' when it is very obviously in the

I'm searching for myself tonight, I'm looking for a fight. Should be a good time. Damn sight better than staring at the news. My father has a saying, "Sometimes life teaches the best lessons,"

Tore ourselves away from our mid-winter torpor today and ventured out to print shop in the Clifton area called Friend of Mine. They were hosting a woodcut workshop as part of the preliminaries for the

Every year, just about the time the sun is the hottest, folks from all over the state converge on Louisville to try and have a fair time. For eleven days in August there's a giant shindig that goes by
