Simple tastes
Such joy in food.
Toasted Red Hawk cheese sandwich with leftover vegetable soup.
Each bite gave pleasure.
Walk well. God is love.

Heaven and hell
Here and now.
First. I do not know.
“Growth, decay, transformation.” I heard this on some television episode I was watching on iTunes. It makes sense. And the idea affects my thinking about life-after-death. That and the “dust-to-dust” phrase. Another form I have read: “Dust thou art and to dust shalt thou return.”
I have found heaven [...]
Adding; subtracting
The age of the Internet. My life changes. And I change websites. Fun. And very telling.
For about a decade, I have wanted to build a site where visitors could share experience about eating well and exercise. And now I’m old. And the venue I have chosen for that story is Older Healthier.
In order to [...]
Terrorism, . . . , should not control our lives
I used to watch Real Time with Bill Maher regularly with my Uncle Jim in Santa Monica. That is where I first heard/saw Andrew Sullivan. I like both men and appreciate their clear thought and powerful delivery. I especially admire Sullivan’s willingness and ability to change as a result of new information and maturity.
We handed [...]
A winter harvest
Gloomy. The happiest man I know of right now is in the desert and on the way to Joshua Tree and just fell in love. None of those things are true for me. I’m looking at a gloomy sky. But. I just harvested vegetables for dinner.
I felt like a thief, having done little gardening for [...]
Generally morons
I saw some commercials today from General Motors: Buick and Cadillac. It was as if the ads had been done by college advertising students about imaginary products. General Motors has not changed. The company is still marketing gimmicks, not quality or innovation. It’s sickening. But this has been going on for decades. The solution: eliminate [...]
The Ridge Trail on Christmas day
Sunshine, cool temperatures, and plop, plop, plop.
The view from the Ridge Trail in Tilden Park on Christmas Day 2009
Elaine and I did a shuttle hike, parking my car at Skyline Staging Area and hers at Inspiration Point. We parked just in time. When we went back for the cars at the end of the hike, [...]
Peace on earth
These are high school kids. About as creative as one can get.
Walk well. God is love.

Destroying evil
That is not the point. At least for me. What a question I ask. How did I get here?
I am thinking about a teacher in Nevada who was suspended for denying the Holocaust. And Sarah Palin. And the Birthers. And all the big lies. And the big liars.
Mark and I discussed this. He said that [...]
White balance
No. This is not about race.
There is a setting on my camera for white balance. And in program automatic mode, it is important to have this set correctly. I made at least two mistakes taking pictures on the trail on Sunday: not checking my pictures after I had taken a few, and not changing the [...]
