Scotland: The Lass Over Teakettle Bit
Personal growth isn’t always a pretty process for me. Nope. I’m gonna reach back several decades anyway though and share a messy – but marvelous – teachable moment from a visit to Scotland! Okay so back at the end of my college days, I was lucky to get to spend a summer backpacking around Europe […]
The Transition Mission Bit
Greetings again from me and my now longtime squirrel-buds! As the world gradually reopens out there (with mixed results here in the States…), I’m still pretty much sticking to home. No, not because of my gray roots. Okay, not only because of my gray roots. I think this squirrel and I both just prefer to […]
The Bit of a Camping Conundrum
Recently, I faced a pretty big decision about continuing a relationship. Not one with a person – but with a place. See, last summer my lovely friend Suszi invited me to spend a week with her and her crew at the Lair of the Bear. It’s a camp for UC Berkeley grads near Pinecrest Lake […]
The Memento Motori Bit
Happy Happy New Year! So I watched my old Jetta get towed away for good in 2016 – and it made me sadder than I expected. I mean, I know all cars die eventually. But beyond losing the only cassette deck left in my life, it felt like I’d said goodbye to a longtime friend. […]

To try and survive these doldrum-y, hockey-less (and hence, meaningless) days between NHL seasons, I sometimes resort to watching video of Stanley Cup conquests past – especially the two by my LA Kings! But just now, I’m actually recalling a championship run from my own “career” as a recreation hockey […]
THE CALIFORNIA CHRISTMAS BIT
I’m dreaming of a white Christmas… So I just realized that the side topic of snow kind of “drifted” into each of my last two posts (about Vancouver and the fall). Yeah, ’tis the season (ask Buffalo…), but I think it’s become a thing with me. As a lifelong coastal Californian, I wonder if I’ve ended up with a complex […]
THE “LEGENDARY” BIT
Sometimes life is just so awesome! It’s 10:00 in the morning and I’m poolside at a fancy resort in Lake Arrowhead, California – and I’m drinking a daiquiri! It’s absolutely gorgeous up here at 5,000 feet! The trees are all brilliant shades of green. The sky is a cloudless blue. The air smells wonderfully fresh and […]
