News(paper) from a Former Home Town
I moved to Northern Kentucky forty years and ten days ago, on 13 August 78. Like the city I left (Nashville, TN), my new home had two daily newspapers. Nashville had the Tennessean (morning) and the Banner (evening), while Cincinnati’s … Continue reading

Sunday Potpourri: Farewell to the Old Year Edition
I’ve mentioned before that because I’ve spent most of my life in academia and am married to a public schoolteacher on top of that, Clan Mondo’s rhythms are more closely aligned to the academic calendar than the traditional one. As … Continue reading

Scene on a Patio
Because the Mid-Century Mondohaus is in fact mid-century (constructed ca. 1964), much of the back of our home includes sliding glass doors. We may lead the county in steel rods wedged into sliding door tracks as security devices, but one … Continue reading

In Which the Prof Finds Something Cool
Part of my adolescence in the Cincinnati burbs, and my extended adolescence in grad school in Lexington, was late-night TV of the 70s and 80s. From Night Flight‘s toy box of weird media and music to SCTV‘s parodies of small-market television and … Continue reading
Saturday Potpourri: “What, a Week Already?” Edition
