As a sign of just how fast the world is changing, my goal of making it to a thousand straight days of writing is officially pointless. ChatGPT4 is pretty good at mimicking all styles of writing. AI has come to rescue us from the drudgery of being a workdcel just as it once rescued my […]

Day 1481 and smh
When I got started with my daily writing project I knew there would be days when I did not want to write. Today is one of them. I actually expected “ugh no want to write” days to be more frequent than turned out to be true. I’ve bitched about it 51 times which isn’t a […]

Day 1480 and Here We Go
I’m recovering today from transcontinental travel. My body is reconciling itself with my soul after moving through the liminal spaces of German airports through the threshold of Chicago’s regional transit on to my home in Montana. Travel always feels otherworldly to me and it’s not just the amazement of being above the clouds. The dreamscape […]

Day 1461 and 2024 Year in Review Posts
And so my fourth year of writing every single day in public comes to a close. I choose to comb through each post by hand to give a round up. I could employ artificial intelligence to give a synopsis and I have run my writing through several AI models. Still I find it helpful to […]

Day 1437 and Back at the Ranch
I marvel every time I fly. My life rests on miracles and small issues like repair delays and malfunctioning climate systems can make the miracle feel too much like magic and not enough like good process. I’m happy to be home in Montana after a couple weeks on the road. Financial markets are happy with […]
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 1427 and Main Character Energy
I feel like I’m in some sort of slapstick comedy with our city pratfalls. I’m in Los Angeles for the holidays which has been somewhat pleasant except for the modest signs of barely contained emergent chaos. Which I frankly don’t expect to see we are staying in a very bougie neighborhood called Marina Del Rey. […]

Day 1426 and Cheap Nails
I am in Los Angeles for Thanksgiving week. I decided to get a pedicure yesterday. My logic was a larger city would provide better quality at better prices than I can get in Montana so I should make time to get it done here rather than at home. Bozeman, despite being a college town that […]
Yesterday I had one of those Lyft driver experiences where your life changes from what you learned. While driving to the airport, our very chill Zoomer driver explained the different financial incentives he got for ground game political canvassing in the Montana Senate race. He mostly canvassed for the Sheehy campaign working for two different […]

Day 1406 and Relief
I am so relieved to have the American presidential election wrapped up within just one day. I didn’t think we’d be so lucky to have things decided so quickly. I was emotionally prepared for a long interregnum with bitter fighting over a slim margin of votes. I remember both 2000 and 2020 and neither hanging […]
