“The slovenliness of our language makes it easier for us to have foolish thoughts.”

(George Orwell, “Politics and the English Language”)

About JMN

I live in Texas and devote much of my time to easel painting on an amateur basis. I stream a lot of music, mostly jazz, throughout the day. I like to read and memorize poetry.
