In a twist that one of my friends described as “an extremely Julie situation” I’m heading to Istanbul tomorrow. I’m in Europe so I’m actually going to drive. Any recommendations for hotels, great meals and must see sights are most welcome. How I ended up on this last minute surprise journey is a long involved […]

1560 and Signs to Act
I’ve been holding myself a bit back from the world as I’ve been trying to take care of myself and lay low. Too much system input and a spate of bad luck (housing and health issues) made for a bumpy time. So while I’ve been steadily attempting to stay online for some information flow my […]
Americans are mere days away from the dreaded April 2nd tariff reveal and the mood could not be more sour. If only America was a few good zoning reform bills further along. Then we could house 700 million more people and our Abundance bro moderate liberals would be in a better mood. Alas it’s easy […]
Yesterday I was lucky enough to get a tour of a new mixed use housing development on the south side of Bozeman called Blackwood Groves. I was introduced to one of the developers Dave through the serendipity of Twitter. He graciously walked Alex and I through the plans for community. It’s thoughtful in including a […]

Day 1534 and Certitude
I’ve been busy with a founder who is running an astonishingly competitive seed round. Let’s just say I’m glad I wrote the first check. I back founders long before it’s possible to have any certainty.

Day 1532 and Friendly Service

Alex and I (let’s be honest mostly Alex) have been scheduling a lot of consultations and procedures. While I’ll certainly caveat that selling a service does generally mean being friendly to the customer. But it […]

Day 1530 and Pandemic Anniversary
March 11 2020 was the day the World Health Organization declared Covid-19 to be a pandemic. It’s been five years since we had our once in a century pandemic that changed everything. Honestly it feels like it just happened. You can quibble a bit on the start (right there in the name alluding to its […]

Day 1517 and Blink Blink
I’m writing this in the waiting room of the new hospital campus in Bozeman. We’ve recently had an outpost of the Billings Clinic go up alongside the highway between Bozeman and Belgrade to keep up with the growth in Southwest Montana. It’s really nice and absolutely packed with people. The average age looks to be […]
When we first moved to Montana we did a pretty thorough home inspection. My husband flew in a friend who is residential contractor. We didn’t need much remediation work. A bit of radon and we installed a state of the art water filtering system but otherwise everything from foundations to soil quality were looking good. […]

Day 1497 and Doing Poorly
Maybe this is typical for mid-winter but it sure seems like everyone is doing poorly. We’ve been pretty socked in weather wise in Montana for the last week so it was easy to get lost in the usual winter issues of snow accumulating and cold temperatures. It’s beautiful but isolating. But it’s not just Montana […]
