The Most Important Books I Read Last Year in 2012 (MIBIRLY 2012)

By on January 8, 2013 in Recommended Reading, Ruminations

It’s that time of year again!  My 2nd Annual (hopefully) down and dirty reviews of the Most Important Books I Read Last Year in 2012. Like last year, I spent most of the summer biking to lovely places to sit and read, and yet again, I usually found myself reading non-fiction. Although I did manage […]

By on January 3, 2013 in Announcements

Bear with me as I tweak the look of PersephonesPath.com yet again.  I was just not happy with the overall function, look and feel of the previous version. This may be a work in progress for a short time. Cheers, PersephoneK

Grading Myself as Blogger; Wimpy with a Side of Gutless

By on December 19, 2012 in Ruminations

I haven’t quite figured out what this blog is, or more specifically, what type of blogger I want to – or should — be. Some of you may know this is the third incarnation of my attempt to join the blogosphere.   Most of the meager volume of my earliest posts came from those sites.  For a time, […]

Better Angels, Triumphant

By on December 17, 2012 in Liberty & Freedom, Ruminations, US & International Affairs

What can anyone say after a tragedy like the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting that is remotely adequate?  For me, there was almost so much to say that I had nothing at all to say.  Simply no words were sufficient.  Horrific might be the single best word, but even that grossly pales.  Last Friday, the nation glimpsed the worst […]

There was great news in the poker community today when it was announced that the DOJ and PokerStars (and by extension Full Tilt Poker) ended their legal dispute that started April 15, 2011 — what has become known as “Black Friday” — when the DOJ effectively shutdown the three biggest online poker websites and scared […]

SCOTUS Ruling on ObamaCare Sad Day for Liberty

By on June 28, 2012 in Liberty & Freedom, US & International Affairs

Shock and sadness.  Those are the raw emotions that have been cycling through my body for the past several minutes after learning of the Supreme Court’s (SCOTUS) ruling over ObamaCare (or the Affordable Care Act, ACA).  I did not see this coming.  I fully expected, naively so it would seem, for this law to be overturned, and […]

My apologies as I tweak the look and feel of the site.  I haven’t quite settled on how I want this thing to look.

The Hunger Games Movie Review: Rough Musings from a Crazy Fan

By on April 3, 2012 in Entertainment & Pop Culture

Disclaimer: This is less a review as it is a totally biased compilation of my raw thoughts after seeing the film twice.  I would recommend not reading this unless you’ve at least read the books or seen the film.  I’m not going to explain plot points like a real review would.  I’m assuming you know […]

By on February 29, 2012 in Recommended Reading, Ruminations
