Guess THIS one!

Cynthia Morgan (Morganica) — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 13:44:53 +0000

I don't know why I even bother, since somebody always gets it on the first or second try, but I suppose I'm the eternal photo-optimist. For a free drink of your choice next time you're in town, be...

Nasal history

Cynthia Morgan (Morganica) — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 08:20:33 +0000

Eye of beholder

Cynthia Morgan (Morganica) — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 10:56:52 +0000

Remember that bit about all the blind men trying to describe an elephant by touch? Sometimes I think the media is like that. Anyone who thinks that news reporting is always objective might want to...

How to speak Cynthia

Cynthia Morgan (Morganica) — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 21:57:34 +0000

"Sometimes when I read your blog," an erstwhile friend wrote, "I realize that I don't speak Cynthia very well." OK, I will admit that I take the title "wordsmith," i.e., one who makes words, more...

Effie and the captured spirit

Cynthia Morgan (Morganica) — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 01:00:06 +0000

Effie Hayes was 90 years older than God, crotchety as hell and mean as they come. Or at least, that was my impression. Since she liked my sister better than me--a LOT better--I may have been biased....

The art of evolution

Cynthia Morgan (Morganica) — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 19:38:05 +0000

What's the right level of evolution for an artist? (And I know, I know, it depends on the artist. Bear with me.) I was invited to preview an opening for an artist I've admired for maybe 20 years. I...

Caricaturia

Cynthia Morgan (Morganica) — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 08:09:06 +0000
