Örebro — A good sunday, or as good as they come. Took a stroll in the rain. Such a typical sunday activity, a sunday way to distract the mind. The earphones stayed unused in a pocket. Didn’t mind the silence, ...

Aireys inlet — We humans don’t usually celebrate, or mark in any way, a tree’s birthday. What would that even mean? In any case, I planted this tree as a small sapling 35 years ago: September, 1979. Now, it look...

Huntington beach — Read this New Yorker article today. Let’s pursue something other than a bucket list. We can protect ourselves from the pursuit of temporary gratification. We are vulnerable to this when we decorate c...

Kahului — I sit here and try to imagine what it was like. To see massive rock-schlepping machines moving these titanic boulders into place to form this breakwall must have been quite a sight. Now, there is no ...

Duluth — Grabbing a pair of scissors I intended to trim back some ratty, wind beaten petunias when a hummingbird visited. Only the ruby-throated hummingbird graces our part of Minnesota. The rather selective c...
Ubud — I bought my pants in Stanley beach in Hong Kong six months ago. You know, the color printed, loose, comfy kinds that are made in Thailand and sold at an exorbitant price elsewhere in the world. They...

Vilanova d`alcolea — If you commission a huge piece of public art to stand outside your new airport you need to think how it might read if the airport doesn’t take off. Castellon-Costa Azahar is the brainchild of the for...
Amsterdam — He says something about books, modern books, today’s books. She missed the point he made about them, however, because she was regretfully realigning her strap. The strap he had not touched. He had bee...
Midland — The ICH Q2 (R1) and FDA guideline for Method Validation gives a clear vision about the expectation of an agency towards any Method Validation. These are expected for the agencies, but there are some e...
San luis obispo — For no good reason, I wake up at 5.30am. Jeff is the only other one up; he’s fully groomed, and pouring cocoa powder by the tablespoon into his coffee. Like his brother, whom I know from church back ...
Ojai — The first time we biked past your house, we scooped up your abandoned oranges from your front-yard trees. Two panniers full of oranges, with still 30 or so miles left to go. Mostly downhill. Headwind ...
New york — “Do you want an adventure? It will involve a motorcycle ride and a 40-part motet. Meet me at 11.45am on Baltic Avenue in Brooklyn.” I recognize the neighborhood as soon as I look up directions–it’s w...

Austin — The air is creamy tomato soup, good for colds and wintry nights, the worst for afternoons in button- down shirts that congeal in my body’s squishiest places, sticky, soggy, sluggish. The weary ceilin...

San francisco — I’ve often felt that the whole of human existence is solely to provide and abundant food source and endless entertainment to the various members of the genus Corvus (crows and ravens). How else can yo...
Harrisburg — Last night was the first time since it happened that I went to sleep without the assistance of alcohol or sleeping pills. This morning was the first morning I woke up feeling genuinely happy and disco...

Lake oswego — We humans like to possess even the most intangible things. I might capture a beautiful sunset by taking a picture of it, or be moved by a lovely photograph to write a song about it, or make an elusive...
Chalandri — Well that was definitely a first! I never had a private screening before. An ENTIRE movie theatre all to myself and no one else. This A Most Wanted Man, however, not a good movie. And I was so looki...
Kahului — It is ten years ago to the day. Once, during the days of her last decline, when she was still conscious, she took my hand and let me touch the mass on her abdomen. It’s like that rock there… hard, se...
