Like so many other writers/editors, I've been playing with ChatGPT. Generally, as I've asked it to do very purposeful tasks, I've found it to be capable, lacking insight, and vulnerable to enormous gaps of understanding. My advice is, Use it ... very, very carefully. So this morning after I brought in some of the fall harvest from our garden, a bunch of figs, tomatoes and peppers....

This is my rule of incompetent executives and it says that, on average, they leave after 17 months on the job. The arc usually looks like this: Herb is announced to great fanfare. He comes from a company that you assume knows much more about Doing Stuff Right than your ragtag band. Often Herb left several months earlier, but the email announcement fairly oozes, …...

My wife loves Wes Anderson. A couple of Christmases ago, she got a book about him and his movies. She thinks everything he has done is great — from Bottle Rocket to now. Me? Not so much. I think there is good Wes (Rushmore, Royal Tenenbaums, Moonlight Kingdom, Grand Budapest Hotel), bad Wes (The French Dispatch, Isle of Dogs…...

Something I wrote a decade ago, that I think is worth sharing now ... Families are like inchworms. Some lead, some follow, but in the end they all end up in the same place, because it's all one thing. If you're at either end, it can be frustrating; that's where the tensions start. But make no mistake, in the end, an inchworm is one thing....

Chris did a great job Thursday morning with the eulogy during the funeral mass for my father at St. Benedict Catholic Church, in Holmdel. Here are his prepared notes. He strayed a bit from this text, but you get the idea. First, I would like to thank everyone for coming and for the well wishes, prayers and concerns. Looking out at the number of people here today, I would say,...

Attended Rev. Ken Beldon’s final message as a minister for WellSprings Congregation, and walked out with all the emotions. Ken shared his greatest hits. A mixture of messages and stories he has shared previously. Closed with The Waterboys’ song Angels and Saints. This is a wide world we travel And our paths rarely cross And we do a whole lot of living…...

27/06/2022

This is a crazy week end, with two of my favorite UU ministers delivering their final messages to their congregations today. Another favorite is retiring as well. And I’m aware of another who I don’t know as well but respect greatly who is hanging up her robes. There’s a larger question — Why now? — that I don’t feel qualified to answer, though I have thoughts....

I've seen most of the Best Picture nominees this year (no Nightmare Alley, Drive My Car or West Side Story) and wanted to drop a quick post on who I think should win this Sunday. Best Picture Power of the Dog There's a point early in the movie, where Montana simply swallows you as a viewer, and I thought how much I had missed Jane Campion's directorial eye....

Our local public radio station, WXPN, is a treasure, and their reader poll to determine the greatest albums of all time was a lot of fun. In the end, it became a bit of a Classic Rock Fest and a little hard to listen to, as the Top 10 albums were played in their entirety. Until then, though, it was just about perfect as the first 1,900 or so albums were one-song-and-done, which gave the whole thing a rollicking speed and serendipity....
