    Dear friend,I’m predictably behind on my book reports, so you’re getting June and July reads. Ten books, a nice mix of speculative and historical fiction, poetry, and non-fiction, plus a graphic novella of sorts without any words and yet rich in story. Top reads: I was delighted to finally read The Book of Hours by Rainer Maria Rilke, one of my favorite poets. Katherine Rundell’s biography of John Donne, a poet who I was also reading earlier this year, was also a delight. <a class="image-link im

    Aug 16 - Aug 31, 2026Dear friend,After two weeks charging around Germany (Vol #44a) and Denmark (Vol #44b), I had two weeks of August left to transition to the new semester and to continue acquainting myself with my new house. I ended up spending a lot of time there because I came down with a post-travel cold in short order. (Speaking from September: I got another cold just as that one was fading so I’m still sick.) I’ve been taking note of the morning s

    Aug 7-15, 2026Dear friend,One of the motivations for my family’s trip to Europe earlier this month was to visit rural villages in Denmark where our ancestors lived. We spent a week or so driving a rented van from Copenhagen, across Southern Sweden (via ferries) to the island of Bornholm, back across bridges and ferries to Aarhus (with a bonus day in Copenhagen because my dad’s passport went through the wash), and around rural Jutland. My dad spent two years in Denmark as a young missionary and h

    Aug 1-6, 2026Dear friend,It’s travelogue season. My summer vacation took me back to Europe for two weeks earlier this month, thanks to the trip planning appetite of my parents and my inability to say no to tagging along. They went to Iceland on their own, convinced by my magical trip last summer that it was time (they even recreated my itinerary, and had an equally magical trip). Then I met them in Berlin, and we spent a week exploring that area of Germany. It was an extended family affair: my c

    July 2026Dear friend,It’s been a full month: I bought a house, moved into it, had two holiday weekends1 with family, and attended a week-long scientific conference. Now I’m sitting in an airport on the way to Berlin for another family vacation.2 Nevertheless there were many small moments amidst all of this hustle worthy of my Detail Diary. Eye candy art and historical architecture in Park City, Utah; mushrooms, half moons, moths, hu
