Just Finished...
The Golden Spruce - Fascinating tale that author John Vaillant braids threads of Haida culture, lumber history, the genetic rarity of a golden spruce, environmentalism into the story of how a miracle tree was cut down to make an environmental point.


Read and enjoyed....The Art of Racing in the Rain...loved by men and women alike, and told from the point of view of a dog!

Happy 20-10!

I think it’s settled, we’ll call this 20-10. I wasn’t even aware there was any discussion about what to call it until a few weeks ago. I kind of favored 2-10, but then I preferred “doubloonie” for the Canadian two dollar coin, which they call the toonie,
By whatever name, it feels like it’s gonna be a pistol, as my dad used to say. Woke up this morning feeling good, all systems go, left the worries behind in 09; an excellent place for them,
Said to myself in the mirror: Good Morning, Sunshine! Be kind. Be nice. Think before you speak.
And that’s as good a mantra as I know. Works for resolutions, too. My logo for 20-10.
Off to a few New Year’s Day buffets then to see my son and daughter-in-law up from LA. Altogether a beautiful day. May there be many of them for all of us!
