I had to look up the definition of “essay” because someone told me that some of the items I’ve posted here didn’t meet their criteria. Merriam-Webster disagrees with their opinions. To me, an essay is a piece written to express a view on a particular subject. If you write a lengthy opinion piece about how you think the Republicans suck, and list some reasons why you believe this, that’s an essay.
Okay, so maybe some of the things I’ve dumped over here stretch the definition a bit, but it’s my web site. I’ll do what I want.

THE MALLEUS MALEFICARUM INTRODUCTION
This introduction to the Malleus Maleficarum was originally posted on the Malleus web site. It was removed and placed here because some took issue with my personal opinions in regard to the Malleus. I didn’t want that to distract from the text of the work itself.

From a 2001 letter to friends about truck driving. Christ, looking back on the past two years of driving, I just have to shake my head sometimes. I’ve been to all 48 continental United States, and Tonya only likes Vermont having been to all 48.

When David Gilmour and (it seemed at the time) the other members of Pink Floyd decided to continue on without Roger Waters, I, like most other Pink Floyd fans, didn’t think much of it. Then David Gilmour just kept running his mouth.

The following was something I wrote in response to an article I read in Rolling Stone magazine about Roger Waters’ In The Flesh CD. It includes the original review, as well as my response, and is followed by some reviews I later pulled from the Rolling Stone web site.

THE ADVENTURES OF BIG DOG & LITTLE DOG
A letter to my brother, written in 1999, which chronicled the travails of my ex-wife and I during our ill-fated 1998 excursion into South Carolina; an epic misadventure if there ever was one.
