Back on 21 October 2010 while the first incarnation of my now annual Dark Sentiments series was in full swing, I wrote an article about the Wendigo phenomenon. Part of that contained the facts, as they were then known, in the strange case of Tim McLean wherein his head was severed from his body and […]

Mrs. LFM was dancing to Starships by Nicki Minaj while preparing donair eggrolls for lunch in our kitchen this afternoon. It’s warm and raining today, and in those rare moments when I could tear my eyes away from her to glance out the kitchen window, I could actually see the plant life getting taller before […]

A long time ago, I had a brief and exceedingly primal relationship with the Deer that is the inspiration for this poem. In brief, I had come to kill him but, at the moment we met for the first and only time, he made a compelling argument to the effect that he had more pressing […]

Mrs. LFM and I first opened Facebook accounts in 2007. In that time we’ve watched the site evolve and reveal itself, collecting some observations along the way that a lot of what’s been written about so called “social networking websites” in general, and Facebook in particular, never seem to fully grasp.

I hiked, […]

A seeming lifetime ago, it took me a few years to scrape off a bad marriage like shit from my shoe. Particularly during the last two of those horrendous years, when it was dead in everything but name, the state of things were kept a closely guarded secret for logistical reasons that have no bearing […]

Today we’ll celebrate the True Arte of the Sabre in all its lethal beauty. Rarely seen here in North America, this connects with what I talked about in my 16 May 2011 article, To the Point. I assert that society suffered a major setback when it cast aside swordsmanship as one of the essential foundations […]

“I wanted girls to gain confidence to be themselves, and not just quiet wives working, working and swallowing all the time their own dreams….” ~ Katerina Tarnouska, founder of Asgarda If you’ve spent any time here, you’ll know a couple of things. First, how much I appreciate strong, intelligent women; and second, that the foundation […]

The inspiration for this poem came while I was reading the intro to my Esteemed Friend Laurie Lacey’s 15 January 2012 Natural Healing Talk newsletter. Some day soon, Mrs. LFM and Laurie’s Lady Rita, will tolerate Laurie and me sitting by a fire all night inspiring each other to even worse inscriptions than this! The […]

Many of the most entertaining movies I’ve ever seen are in the so called “B movie” category. There is a lot of absolute crap to be found there to be sure, but the number of true gems that one uncovers among them makes the hunt worth while. Once upon a time, in my neck of […]
