About The Attic

This is a crazy time, and you might be thinking that focusing on good stuff is just a distraction. But I disagree. I think it’s crucial to keep us from giving up.

It’s getting cluttered up here. Every week, since January 2017, The Attic has tossed some new hope into some dusty corner. Add up the weeks, the years, and The Attic now contains 300+ short articles, each rooting for a kinder, cooler America.

Click “Subscribe” and you’ll get one e-mail per week, on Sunday morning. One e-mail. Promise kept. And each Sunday you’ll learn what’s new this week but with a little rummaging, you’ll find surprises in every corner. David Foster Wallace? What’s he doing here? (Taking a cruise.) Mary Oliver? A history of Burning Man? Is Sex Necessary? ALL In the same Attic with MLK, Secretariat, Zora Neale Hurston, “The Night the Stars Fell,” and “The Songs that Saved the Whales?” Plus lists? Songs? Certain Corners filled with themed articles?

Yep.

Seven years into the Attic, some 3,000 rummager/subscribers never know what they’ll find up here. Dreamers.  Wonders.  Wits.  Rebels. Teachers. Builders. . .  Feel good stuff?  Distraction?  Nope, just one ex-reporter’s answer to our troubled times.
