Golden Cliffs

For a morning that started by looking out the window, seeing big snowflakes falling, and turning over again, we got a few good climbs in. My Dad said on the phone later that the weather looked OK at his place, so we threw the climbing gear in the car with our skis just in case.…

Movie: Throne of Blood

This was my first experience of the MacBeth story, and I think for me the tale will always conjure up images of the aldritch Spider’s Web forest from this film. I think it’s the best black and white cinematography I’ve ever seen. It’s facinating just to see a western story acted out in a Japanese…

New Site for Mom

A number of years ago I helped my mom get set up with a web host and a copy of Dreamweaver, and she managed to build a website for her business. She always described it as “a little funky”. Navigation and broken links were always a problem, and she struggled sometimes with presenting the many…

Lake Agnes Trail

Today we rally for our first trip into the mountains outside Ft. Collins. At home it’s warm and sunny out. The drive up the Poudre canyon to Cameron Pass is a long and twisty one, during which the sky slowy darkens and the light strains into a pale yellow before turning grey. It’s an hour…

Live Music: The Reverend Horton Heat

It’s been a long time since we’ve been to a live show, so when Ann told me the Reverend Horton Heat was playing the Aggie Theater on a Thursday night in Fort Collins I said, “Let’s do it!” It soon becomes obvious I’ve forgotten everything I ever knew about seeing a show. It was billed…

Movie: The Meaning Of Life

I haven’t watched this Monty Python movie since I was teenager. What a different movie it is as an adult! The over-the-top, rebellious crassness of it appealed to me as a raucous youth. Now, I understand what the crassness is making fun of! It’s not the fat guy puking all over the place that’s funny,…

Book: WILD ANIMUS by Rich Shapero

I’ve now finished this book, after discussing it with the author here a few weeks ago. It’s a challenging book, more interested in probing a character most of us would immediately dismiss as a nut than trying to entertain the reader. I’m glad I stuck with it. My own explorations of my connection with nature…

Agitated Peace

The reason I was up at 4:30 am this morning was to attend a ’20 minutes for peace’ meditation, which was billed as a 20-minute period of silence to take place around the world at noon Greenwich Mean Time. I usually abhor rallies and like activities, but this sounded like something I could handle. I…

It could mean anything, no?

It’s 4:30 am, time for profound thoughts. I know it’s customary in many cultures to end questions with the word ‘no’. The word ‘no’ can even be a question in itself. I just had this little dialog with Ann: Ann: Would you like a piece of toast? Me: No. Ann: No? Me: Silence. Brain stuck…

A Narrow Escape

You would think from my Christmas post that we had a cozy, uneventful family Christmas. How nice. In reality, we nearly suffered 3rd-degree burns, lost T-Rex, flooded the kitchen, and burned ourselves and the house up in a ball of flame. I’m thankful that we’ve all survived December 25th without major injuries.
