- About Me:
- Hello everyone my name is Jay Luke. I'm an author, musician and artist from Throop, Pa. A graduate from Marywood University, I am very active in all things art, whether it be through painting, performing with my band, or through my day job as a graphic designer. As a project engineer of the Olyphant Coal Miner Memorial Association, I have delved deeply into the origins of the area and the forgotten histories of the towns around me.
Passionate about not letting future generations forget their local origins, I have a true love for local history. I took on my first published work as a project to reconnect readers to the past. As writer and poet Wendell Berry once said, “The past is our definition. We may strive, with good reason, to escape it, or to escape what is bad in it, but we will escape it only by adding something better to it.”
- Favorite Books:
- Rule of Four, Angels & Demons, Cat's Cradle, Forbidden History, The Historian, The DaVinci Code, The complete works of Edgar Allan Poe, Beyond Good & Evil, & many more

Paper War
I've been waging a war on paper the last few days. So far, paper is winning. The more I clean up, the more of it I find. The problem is, for much of it, I feel an obligation to do a thorough examination and decide whether or not it's worth keeping.The mailperson is my enemy. He, sometimes she, keeps leaving more paper in my mail box. I'm not talking about my Christmas cards, which I cherish, but all the other stuff dropped off for me to sort out. At times it's torture to come home and see the new pile the DH has set on the kitchen table.
I've discovered tons of magazines over a year old. They were trying to hide in a magazine holder on the side of the couch, but not doing a good job of it, since they were spilling over. Of course, I decided to check the headings on the covers to see if some of the information inside might prove valuable. Wouldn't you know it, I was right. Many articles seemed to good to give up.
I've already mentioned here before about how I also have a compulsion to print out emails that seem important to me. The result is I have lots of important pieces of paper. When there's an abundance, which is the most important? And, where's the one I really need? It is a quandary.
What about you? Is paper your enemy? Are you also waging a war against it? Who is winning?
