    Holding It. (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    Lately I’ve been into the idea of being tough, and wanting to get tougher. Toughness is a byproduct of brushing up against difficulty, often. The difficulty I brush up against often is a closed bathroom door in an apartment with one bathroom.We are moving to a house with three bathrooms. This gets discussed regularly round here. Just now I was three minutes away from a 9:00 am phone call and several cups of coffee into the morning. I race to the bathroom. Closed door!“O! I have to be in a meetin

    Good Things Are Still Happening in the World. (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    I live within walking distance of LACMA (Angeles County Museum of Art). It’s not a hop skip jump away, but walkable, maybe a twenty-minute walk. Google maps says 29 minutes. I am a fast walker.LACMA sits on the same property as the La Brea Tar Pits which is a park with pits of tar here and there. For real. That’s an accurate description. Some are fenced off to guard the regurgitated wooly mammoth bones being spewed up, but some are the size of a dinner plate. A sticky little mess flanked by dry

    My hair hasn’t been cut in a year. I think that is because I am not sure who I am right now. My former sharp little bob seems too organized for my current state of mind. Now at my shoulders, the hair has crossed into the territory of long, again. You can get away with not cutting long hair for long periods of time. I had thought I was never going back to long and yet here I am. Doing nothing. Doing nothing costs nothing so there is no pressure to figure it out.I do miss my hairdresser. As I woul

    Does the Spider Resent Fixing Its Web? (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    I am looking at an incredible architectural feat, a classic circular spider web held in place with lots of wild, irregular buttressing strands anchored to a hedge below and a cycad behind. What a lot of work! How does a spider do it? If we, as humans, had to make such a thing, how would we do it?<div class="image2-ins
