Posted on April 14, 2013 by

I lost my iPhone this week. It then found its way back to me in an astonishing stroke of luck, though that didn’t prevent me from suffering 12 hours of acute anguish while the drama unfolded, during which time I … Continue reading →

Posted on March 10, 2013 by

On the second Saturday of the month there is an antique market down the main avenue where my office is and from my window (if I’m lucky enough to be working on a Saturday) I can see the stallholders setting … Continue reading →

A Rider-Waite Relic

Posted on February 16, 2013 by

Tarot in Reverse

Posted on June 1, 2012 by
