Less than a thousand hours in the Thousand Islands with my friend John and his cat Luna Propofol.
July 18th, 2013, 11pm
It was 27.8°C. The wind was light.
I have visited this place and these friends almost every year for the past twenty or so, even though I live ten thousand miles away. This kind of travel, going back and back, is very different from the adventure and joy of seeing new worlds. I love both things.
Born in Oklahoma: 30 years in US. 6 years in Canada, 40 years in Australia. Academic field: history and philosophy of science. Currently, teach indigenous studies online at Institute of American Indian Arts (Santa Fe, NM) and Brandon University (Manitoba). Come visit our B&B on Australia's Great Ocean Road.
