Sunset just over silhouetted mountains. The sky is rich with indigo and pale orange.

I’ve sat down most of my 8 hour work days for as long as I’ve been working. And for most of that time, I’ve had office equipment envy.

Night sky with clearly visible stars and a campsite below with many tents lit internally.

I am one of those people who sleeps in a routine way. Here’s my pattern: start off on right side, roll to stomach, end up on left side. I can’t do that now.

Picture of one f-hole in a stringed instrument, likely a cello.

We were invited to a cello recital, performed by a friend of our children. I’m not usually one for string recitals but this was exceptional.

CRT Television sitting on a road in a neighborhood at night.

I started messing around with HTML roughly around 1996. I was in college and a friend from high school had started a website. She had the keys!

I am just like you and also different in lots of ways but still so similar. I have hopes and dreams and reality often tries to sidetrack those things. So I am pushing against what is normal (to me) and doing my best to teach my kids and each other how to pursue what excites us and makes us come alive.
