I was talking to Emily the other day, and the conversation turned to what we are reading these days. Em always has a book or two going, and she was telling me that her employees are all voracious readers, too. When they are on break at work, they all sit and read. She loves that … Continue reading Media Fast

Reading
Back in December I made a reading list for myself. One book a month. Thanks to Leap Day tomorrow, I will be on track. My January book was 1Q84 by Haruki Murakami. This was not on my original list. Somebody handed me this 900 page tome in early January, and I thought: Aw, Shit! I … Continue reading Reading
2012 Reading List
Today I gathered together the books I intend to read this year and amassed them next to my winterized Space Chair for this photo-op. It's a good list, I think, but a long one. (Vishuda is my gargoyle hand puppet, in case you were wondering.) I have had these books in my possession for a … Continue reading 2012 Reading List
Summer Reading List
Oh, Summer Solstice. I both love you and feel sad at your arrival. Your arrival means that summer, my most favorite season, has officially arrived, but it also means that from now on the days start to shorten. Not shorten enough to notice--at least until late August, but we've hit the peak now, the apex, … Continue reading Summer Reading List
What I Have Been Doing While I’ve Not Been Here
Last week I finished reading Gretchin Rubin's The Happiness Project and now I am deeply involved in Jonathan Haidt's The Happiness Hypothesis and I went to the new Victoria theater in Blossburg and saw the movie Social Network and today the plumber was here all day installing a new kitchen sink and faucet. And last … Continue reading What I Have Been Doing While I’ve Not Been Here
Electronica
In the last month I have aquired: a new digital camera a new cell phone a new Ipod and it seems like these pieces of electronica are taking over my entire life. I love this these toys, I really do, but damn! They all need to be learned, and the learning of them is eating … Continue reading Electronica
Food For Thought
I have made some new goals for myself recently. In addition to my daily Holosync session (I am now on day 290 of that without a miss) and my “pen” writing in my paper journal (I just re-started after a 2 week break and am now on day 10). I have committed to this blog … Continue reading Food For Thought
Life Changing Books
I finished The War of Art by Steven Pressfield today. It’s already entered my pantheon of Life Changing Books. I will probably sit down and re-read it again this week. Then I will re-read it again. And again. That’s how much I resonated with it. That’s how much it spoke to me, called me out, … Continue reading Life Changing Books
The “B” Word
There was a time in my life when I only read “The Great Books.” (Classical literature by philosphers, poets and essayists—i.e. dead white guys.) There was a time in my life when I read poetry. Exclusively. Nothing else would do. (This jag went on for about 4 years.) There was a time in my life … Continue reading The “B” Word
Blogs
I love blogs. I read a lot of them too, and am inspired and blown away by them. On most of the blogs I read, I am what is known as a “lurker.” I just read and never comment. I don’t know why, I just don’t. But today I read a post and felt like … Continue reading Blogs
