Hey, all you over-80-year-olds! Remember that radio show, The Shadow? I loved it, would listen to it as a kid while down with a fever. A rare and delicious time. House quiet with all siblings at school and Mom as my nurse.

And oh my! Just listened to Orson Wells . . .

And wow, had forgotten the question that precedes it . . . Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men?

Well, we sure know now, don’t we? See Sound of Freedom, if you have not already.

More and more, the outrageous evil of both child and adult human trafficking is disgorging from the depths of the collective unconscious, where it has lurked, doing horrific untold damage, for millennia.

Here’s one of the new videos, about young female trafficking in Ukraine, that reminds me of Sound of Freedom in the way it was put together.

I had wanted this post to be light-hearted! Geez!

Okay. Try again.

While beginning to create what I want to see on the front page of tendrepress.com, which is now under total reconstruction, to eventually serve as an archive for my over-500 essays, I decided to use one of my paintings, toned down to a faint backdrop, underneath the text. But I needed to get a photo of it that didn’t have shadows lurking everywhere. Finally succeeded. But not until puppy Shadow had agreed not to sit right on top of it.
