After a quick run through El Segundo I am back in Montana for the moment. Nothing makes you appreciate American more than spending time away from it. While complaints about travel and its challenges always make you appreciate home, it’s really only upon return to you notice just how good we have it as Americans. […]

Day 1161 and Note Long Connection Time
Getting to the far flung corners of the world takes a little bit of patience when you’ve chosen another far flung place to call home. Montana’s Bozeman International Airport has all the ease and efficiency of a world class luxury destination. Yellowstone and Big Sky are draws from almost every major cosmopolitan hub. So I […]
Day 1159 and Oligopistos
I had the most positive experience with someone who works in the government today. I had reason to call Congressional constituent services and I wasn’t all that optimistic I’d ever hear back at all. “Oh ye of little faith” Maybe Montana folks are just built different or maybe I just got lucky. I was so […]
It’s come as a bit of surprise to me that I’ve done so much on the ground work in the last two years. Not so long ago I was basically bed ridden and stuck inside for the extended run of the Pandemic. Now I spend half my time on the road again. Once I was […]
Day 1131 and Cabin In The Woods
I’m pretty far off the grid right now. I’m taking this week to get some time offline to do focused work A common theme I’ve written about is the toll of stress hormones and nervous system fatigue that we are all experiencing as life accelerates. I find I can better focus in my very online […]
Day 1129 and Ambient Noises
My corner of Montana is in the cozy quiet grip of rural winter. I’ve left that quiet behind for a trip. I’m in a city center and I have a symphonic mix of civilizational noises. The hum of idling trucks, the roar of a motorcycle zooming past, and shrieking giggling teenagers walking past all remind […]
Day 1126 and Modern Miracles
I am in transit at the moment. I’ve never calculated how many times I’ve flown on an airplane but I’ll presume I’m in the triple digits. It’s not a new experience but it still has the power to astound me. That ugly bags of mostly water had the cognitive power and social coordination skills to […]
Day 1123 and Drawing In
I spent some time packing today as I’ll be on the road a little more frequently in the coming months. The joys of the cozy Montana winter have had their comfort and I sincerely wish I’d never have to give them up. But there is work to be done. I find travel to be a […]
Day 1108 and Frozen
It’s cold in Montana. I woke up at 6am as the forecast predicted the coldest weather would be around dawn. I was not disappointed. . We have a personal weather station so we can get a read right outside our home. The station measures wind direction, wind speed, wind gust, UV & light, temperature and […]
Day 1107 and -20 Below
The polar vortex that is hitting the northwest of America has come to Montana. It was an eerie scene as the light of the setting sun contrast off the dark of the inbound storm We woke up to -20F temperatures (which is -28C). That the sort of cold you can get frost bite from in […]
