Intensity Without Mastery

Listen to the companion podcast to the blog Intensity Without Mastery, where I dabble in many things yet master none of them. I would call myself a dilettante, but can a working-class, middle-aged woman from the Rustbelt really be one? Doesn't such a term imply independent means?

    Elegy in a Court Churchyard

    In this episode, I offer musings on death sprung from mishearing the title of a poem. Per usual, I try to offer some levity when discussing heavy subjects. Sometimes the results are somewhat irreverent. The mishearing of song lyrics is a much-discussed experience, but I've misheard audio in most forms imaginable. #death #memoir #loss #blog This episode is an autoconversion of one of my blog posts: https://intensitywithoutmastery.wordpress.com/2016/09/02/elegy-in-a-court-churchyard/

    Bring Us Your Ancestors

    Sometimes missing persons cases take decades to solve. It so happens that my late great grandfather was a person who went missing from Minneapolis in 1923, and the truth was not found out until 2016! Really! He vanished without a trace from one family and started a new life under a new name.
