I will never be able to watch pro golf on TV again because when I look at these players now, I no longer see them as masters of their game. I see them as pawns and sell-outs in a billion-dollar deal to make people with shady ethics richer and dangerously powerful.
The Start of Whimsical Wednesdays
Whimsical Wednesday is what G and I have decided to call one day of the week where we will deliberately do something that breaks our routine. Both of us like routine and ritual. Maybe a little too much. We plan our days, weeks, and even our quarters because it’s the only way to get our … Continue reading The Start of Whimsical Wednesdays
Inspired By In May
Inspired by: Spring and the prospect of filling containers and gardens with these: I’m also inspired by this Kevin Kelly quote, which I am taking as my summer mantra: Emily and I have started using the video messenger app, Marco Polo, and I’m enjoying it more than I thought I would.

A Good Day In Computer Hell
I sat there from about 10 AM until 6 PM. With one break to pee. No food. I was locked in. I was obsessed. I was making baby steps. Then it wouldn’t work. I’d try something else. Still no luck.

We Are All Looking At Each Other, Trying To Figure Out How To Live
We look or read about other people’s lives to see if they have a better way of doing it: a cooler way, a more fun way, a more meaningful, transcendent, spiritual, healthy, perfect way.
Playing The Infinite Game Of Softball
Head Coach Edith Gallagher G’s season so far has been a complete disaster. Her team is not just losing; they are losing epically. For example, they allowed 18 runs in one inning the other day—one inning. It’s partly that she has a young team: eleven rookies. It’s partly the calendar: doubleheaders back to back on … Continue reading Playing The Infinite Game Of Softball
