I am very much beginning to wish I had not watched the presidential debates. I want to say it’s been amusing to watch the different flavors of panic, but it makes me feel a bit gross. Schadenfreude feels like a cousin to envy. It’s a dirty vice you shouldn’t be swift to cultivate in yourself […]

Discussing travel mishaps has become something of a national pastime for Americans. Memorial Day Weekend is the official kick off to summer and I had the good fortune of doing a transcontinental flight. And by and large it went smoothly and enjoyably. It was a record breaking day for travel. I was on a route […]

1189 and The Expense of Choice
One of my most American traits is how much I prioritize making my own choices. I am not contrarian for its own sake, but I prefer to freely align myself with what I value. I don’t make a secret of my revealed preferences and I am not afraid to associate with people who have different […]

Day 1111 and Angel Numbers
I like a little “woo” in my life. Anytime I hit a particularly interesting number in my daily writing I tend to do a bit of collective consciousness spelunking across the shared spaces of the internet. Unsurprisingly, 1111 sparks quite a bit of interest across pop culture numerology depictions. The first search results were women’s […]
A swirling milieu of discourse has brought a renewed focus in my inbox & timeline on what constitutes the pursuit of excellence; that old Socratic dichotomy of the individual human’s personal virtues and his role as citizen in the wider communal project of civilization. The tensions have never felt so taut to me. Please forgive […]

Day 933 and Hot Hot Heat
It would seem that we’ve officially entered the high season of summer that even northern latitudes like Montana cannot escaped entirely. I wish I had the capacity to work out a circadian rhythm that entirely accounted for how miserable long hot days can be even if you are inside in the shade. Siestas and late […]

Day 897 and Cruft
I’d like to tell you a short story about my email. I don’t really check it anymore. Like at all. I would like to have a functional inbox but it got out of hand. How out of hand you ask? As of this morning I had more than 500,000 unread emails in my Gmail. Honestly […]

Day 862 and Separation
They say absence makes the heart grow fonder. But I don’t feel absence in my heart. And it certainly isn’t positive. If only absence were so tightly concentrated and concretely clear. I feel it in my entire body. And it’s painful. Perhaps it’s the new emotional attunement gained from my five week nervous system bootcamp […]

Day 817 and RIP SVB
I hadn’t expected to grieve the death of a bank. It sounds so preposterous. Who the fuck feels sad about a bank failing? But I am genuinely sad that the Silicon Valley Bank name doesn’t appear be living on with its new owner First Citizens Bank. I guess I look forward to banking with First […]
