A Long Winter’s Night — Advice As We Embark

| January 1, 2025

Greetings Goode and Weary Pilgrims as we embark together on another Hunt, joyous in the comradeship of our Worthy fellows even as many among our number may have been lamed by the vicissitudes of months past. We aren’t dead yet. An odd time this. In my travels upon the land, I find even the Wise […]

Midwinter Story Time With LFM

| December 29, 2024

In thanks to all those who have noticed my absence of late and felt motivated either to take up arms in proclaiming their disquiet, or clutch them tight to suffer in silence, I offer this brief walk in yesterday’s woods and my promise that you will find yourselves back to being tired of me soon […]

Deer Season 2024

| November 2, 2024

My Esteemed Friend Martin, of Crime Scene Man fame was once in the employ of a police agency in a small Nova Scotia town that had come to contain a population of White Tail Deer of, let us say, unsound proportions. One day, while on patrol, he was driving a street running along the edge […]

Dark Sentiments Season 15 — Day 15: Period Drama

| October 15, 2024

“When young Georgiana Crimsworth finds blood on her sheets and thinks she’s dying, she spirals into fear imagining what’s going to happen to her body.” And so is framed tonight’s Dark Sentiment, Period Drama; a short animated treasure produced at the Ringling College of Art and Design brought to us courtesy of TheCGBros. Dark Sentiments indeed!

Dark Sentiments Season 15 — Day 14: Be As The Bay Leaf

| October 14, 2024

In this age of divided loyalties and unending crisis, some cower. Some assert themselves from the perceived safety of throngs screaming a common slogan understood differently by each throat and hearing ear. Some look to a saviour. Still others understand that if there is a saviour, in the hour of need it’s going to have […]

Dark Sentiments Season 15 — Day 12: A Flicker of Clarity

| October 12, 2024

The elements of the picture at the top of tonight’s Dark Sentiment combine thoughts placed here seven years ago as Dark Sentiments Season 8 — Day 3: Of Mini-miracles, Odd Synchronicities, and Sublime Messages, and more recently in On the Weihnachtsjäger Trail. The feather gifted to me, and spoken of in the former, is the […]

Dark Sentiments Season 15 — Day 11: Best Day Ever

| October 11, 2024

“Best day ever!” An all too common utterance from the mouths of the same subset of the Great Unwashed who seasonally prattle on about their “Resolution” for a new year, and the check boxes (most of them fated to remain unchecked) on their “bucket list”. Spoken as though the speaker is dead but refuses to […]

Dark Sentiments Season 15 — Day 10: Violence?

| October 10, 2024

Back on Day 3 we had a word from Maestro Adam Crown that, if you haven’t yet heard, you should go and lend an ear to now. We’ll be hearing from him again tonight as we look at a question that is both Naturally simple, and made more vulnerable thereby to being convoluted by certain […]

Dark Sentiments Season 15 — Day 3: Saddle Up

| October 3, 2024

“Understanding and being able to recognize and avoid logical fallacies is helpful in everything you do, whether it’s an argument, not being fooled by advertisements or politicians, choosing a good teacher who teaches from a solid foundation, or recognizing whether what you are being taught is what you need to learn.” ~ Maestro Adam Crown, […]

Dark Sentiments Season 15 — Day 2: Authority

| October 2, 2024

There are those who live their lives, and would judge all others, by standards excremental (to paraphrase the Esteemed and Right Honourable Master At Arms James A. Keating). Their mettle never tested, forever self-excused by the acts of others, their only measure of strength is relative to how far an audience can be drawn to […]
