I’ve been making a new Christmas mix every year since 2005, so this is the 19th iteration of this annual tradition. I hope you enjoy it.
“Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased.” – Luke 2:14 (ESV)
Happy 2023! A new year, a clean page, a blank slate.
I’ve been a Twitter user for a number of years, but some of the changes being made over there are somewhat concerning, and a Twitter-like federated social network called Mastodon has gained momentum as a Twitter alternative.
Someone here in Charlottesville has started a Charlottesville-centric Mastodon instance over at https://cville.online/, which is pretty cool.
If you live elsewhere, there are numerous instances you can join, all of which interact with one another. Several popular ones are https://mastodon.social/, https://mas.to/, and even https://mastodon.scot/!
You can find me over at https://cville.online/@hchorey. Feel free to register and come say hi. 🙂
Hello there. I recently came across some poems I had written back in high school and college; while a lot of them are, well, not great, there were a few upon re-reading after all this time that I am still pretty happy with.
Here’s one I wrote about Ernest Hemingway back in May 2002. I hope that you like it. 🙂
The “last round” bell clanged, sending
Island night owls slowly shuffling out.
Drunkenly, Ernest eyed the lighthouse above tops of trees
Showing the way home, stumbling back from Sloppy Joe’s.
Cracked chips of paint cling
To his hands in the humidity, from clutching too tightly
At railings, mounting the porch steps where
Six-toed felines and a wife wait on Whitehead Street.
Frenetic keystrokes compose chapter after chapter, putting genius on paper
Before electroshock and shotgun solitude can take it away
Like Castro confiscated his Cuba, leaving
An old man and his sea of sorrow, stretching
Ninety miles to Havana Harbor.
