Notes from the Edge is about…

Culture. Ideas. Art. Politics. Music. Whatever!

I wrote this elsewhere:

These days I am fortunate enough to write about almost anything I want to. And now I finally have the time to do so again. So what you’ll find here will reflect my broad array of current obsessions — it might be about a book, a movie, an art show, an album, or it might be a moment, an event, a moment of history, an object, some lessons I’ve learned about writing or the creative life.

I’ll also be here to let you know about some of the big projects I’m working on, while they are in progress, or after they are done.

Back when I was writing columns, I used them as ways to float new ideas, try new things, explore stuff I wanted to know more about. It’s a blessing that decades later I’ve had the kind of career that will allow me to return to that.

So welina! You are welcome to follow along here to get monthly (at the least) notes from the edge I’m perched on here on the rim of the Pacific.

For now, we won’t worry about paywalls and all that. I’m not against them, everyone needs to eat, but when and if that time comes, we’ll cross that bridge together.

Thanks for dropping in and feel free to bring a friend by anytime!
