There has been such a bleak mood on the timelines as Americans are once again locked into a cycle of agitation and propaganda driven by hyper persuasion A/B testing of rage bate as tragedy turns on the opportunism machines. So I’d like to share bits and bobs of good news in my corner of the […]

Day 1718 and The Abyss Stares Back
The glory of the first few weeks of fall in Montana, indeed most of the mountain west, is under appreciated. We advertise the powdery snow & bright sunshine of our winters and the long temperate days of our summer for tourism, but I love the precious few middle days of transition as we approach Michaelmas […]
An auspicious pair of numbers for today’s date and I started something new which has been in the works since January began today. Our long awaited hyperbaric chamber has arrived and been fully set up in our yellow barn. It feels good to begin a positive focused wellness activity after what was otherwise a chaotic […]
As I often do on transcontinental travel days, I wrote my post for the day first thing in the morning. I wasn’t sure how the journey would go so I thought “let’s post this early” in case things get hairy. And boy did it. I was leaving Europe just as Poland closed its airspace after […]
We often talk about solving “pain points” when doing product development and market fit work for startups. We have popular metaphors in this vein. Start a company that sells painkillers not vitamins is so ubiquitous a piece of advice I can’t even locate its original source. I’ve been thinking a lot about how much I […]
One of the most unsettling aspects of having a deep tissue infection surgically removed is watching the hole fill itself back in from the bottom up. It doesn’t look like normal tissue as it regrows.

Typically we take time off during shoulder season which is the off peak months for a destination. Not being bound by school vacations or particular holiday schedules, shoulder season works better for many reasons from fewer […]
I’ve been in traffic for almost two hours and I’ve gone a sum total of 19km or 11 miles. High season is a mess when the world is trying to pack in leisure time all at once. It doesn’t matter if it’s the entrance to America’s beloved natural parks, a scenic coastal highway or the […]

Day 1674 and Venturing Out
I had a very indoor July which I was not expecting. One of the joys of Montana in the summer is relatively temperate conditions until you hit the end of July and into August. Obviously freak heat waves come when they come (a lot more than I expected these days) but generally you enjoy low […]
As I slowly walked myself out of surgery yesterday, I thought to myself “I actually feel much better!” And I genuinely did. If you have a gentle stomach, maybe stop reading here. I’m fine. I’m on my way to well. And this will be graphic. I do feel dramatically better having had the “slouching towards […]
