It’s too hot here to want to do much of anything.
Logbook
This little corner of my website is where I collect things from the everyday goings-on in my life. It’s a chronicle, exhibit, and junk-drawer all at once. I have not had a social media profile in quite a few years now, so this part of my website fills a similiar purpose to what those places did for me in years past.

In writing, you must kill all your darlings.

A middle-of-the-night interruption, then back to sleep and out until 7:00am for once. Turns out maybe sleeping on the floor in a dusty old house isn’t the healthiest thing in the world.

I spent a good chunk of my day writing about a long walk I took, so I figure I might as well get a second walk in.

Reading my own writing aloud brings up childhood trauma about being made to read in front of the class.

Valley Water Mill Park
I love walking in the woods when it is gloomy and dim.

I was told that I am “Cheap with money, wildly extravagant with time” and I intend to give this the consideration it deserves, at length, over several days, for free.

Oskar Wickström applying Bringhurst to the web: rem proportions, justified text with actual hyphenation, one typeface doing all the work. I tried the vertical-rhythm half on my own site and backed it out; the per-element discipline cost more than it returned.

My son and I are getting out of the house for some salad and quiche. You know, manly foods.
