“I feel like the thing that defines analog materials is they get dust on them and digital materials don’t,”

- Mungo Thomson

50 years old today.
Grateful for all of it.
My family, my work, my health,
And all of you.

My mind is on the future
500 years from now
(To pick a round number)
My hope for humanity
And the earth
Is tested, daily,
But undiminished

Love to all.

Lovely little story about an old professor and some mice who bake him Christmas pies. Written and narrated by my dad—music by me! Perfect time of year to find this on podcast (or YouTube)

Everyday sourdough, baked this evening and now half devoured with a warm soup. This is how we do rainy November Sundays on the farm. #Oregonsourdough

Zadie Smith received an award from the Kenyon Review.

Used a story by Flannery O’Connor, The Life You Save May Be Your Own, to discuss our present moment and the incoming administration.

It’s a good read.

These two birds—male & female Lazuli Buntings— struck our window and died instantly together. Eight hours later my wife went into labor and delivered our firstborn. Never forget the world is a mysterious and wonderful place.
