It sounds a little ungrateful to say I’m bored, as I sit comfortably in a nice hotel bed with books, Netflix, room service, and a nice view but I am bored and a little miserable. Antibiotics, discomfort and surrealism are a challenging combination for existential stability as it turns out. I can’t do much beyond […]

Being a mere node in a large but influential network I transmit as much as I receive. I intake and reroute information as part of my own synthesis process and I appreciate that it benefits me and others. But it also does damage and today was a rough start to June by any measure. I […]
Yes it’s December so forgive me for quoting the “maybe” Mark Twain quip about the chill of San Francisco. But my goodness the damp here is the kind of cold that seeps into your bones. I’ve never felt a colder 60 degrees than in the city by the bay. Maybe you are thinking “doesn’t this […]

Day 1282 and Summertime Sadness
Montana has blessedly been free of excess heat and fire season doesn’t seem to have arrived. But it was a wet spring and I fear we have a long summer ahead of me. I live in one of the best possible places to spend a summer and I still find it challenging m. I was […]

Day 848 and Summer Camp
I’m not a camp kid. I’m told there exists a group of kids whose formative summer experiences are at summer camp and I’ve watched enough American television to have the gist of the genre. It looks fun. Professional conferences appear to offer a similar experience to adults. You have a yearly event or two that […]

Day 603 and Summer Vacation
It feels like I’ve always disliked summer. I suspect people like it because of it’s association with vacations. But I find neither summer nor vacations to be that appealing individually or in conjunction. What is there to like about heat, ozone pollution, and fire season? And then you want me to add travel and disruptions […]

Day 547 and Cruel Summer
The cruel summer is the season after silent spring. It’s hot out. Unnaturally and unseasonably so. And people aren’t really prepared for it. Whole countries haven’t invested in air conditioning yet. I made the mistake of being outside during high noon. I was under shade and there were fans but I let my insides get […]

Day 206 and Summer Storms
When I was a kid it was considered common knowledge to “get off the mountain” before the afternoon thundershowers. Along the front range of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado, the afternoon or evening storm is a mainstay of summer. A quick occasionally terrifying show of nature in all her glory. One minute the sky is […]
