Resident of Vancouver, writer, translator, explorer and connector of ideas.
For a variety of reasons I found myself thinking about Donald Philippi today. He was one of the most interesting people I have worked with. I plan to reread his Ainu translations in the near future.

2 books, a thread through my reading, connecting books, ideas, emotions and actions.

And what we count?

One of my obsessions is sailboat design. It took me a while to come to terms with the scow bows being used on Class40 sailboats and IMOCA. It is interesting to see them being used on hardcore cruising boats like Boreal.
