Day 304: Facilitate
I’m checking out of my hotel today (that’s been a little odd–staying in a hotel in what had been my home town!) and tonight I am staying at a friend’s. Tomorrow, I head back up to the mountains. So I … Continue reading
Day 303: Return
I’ve been in Atlanta for the past 36 hours or so, and today I had a chance to swing by our old house. I felt no nostalgia, no longing. I didn’t experience the uncanny either. It was just a house. … Continue reading
Day 302: Sign
So I am back in Atlanta for the next few days, attending a workshop–and visiting with some friends. It’s good to see my friends, that’s for sure, but to be honest there isn’t a lot about the city that I’m … Continue reading

Day 298: Stretch
I have never done any yoga–maybe someday I will, but today was not the day. All I did today was just a little stretching. I was outside today–a pretty long hike to a new crag, and then some good climbing. … Continue reading
Day 297: Remake
My wife has been out of town for the past three days. No, I am not the stereotypical “helpless husband.” I can keep the kids fed and safe, and the house in relative order. But things do get a bit … Continue reading
Day 296: Chat
No world-changing revelations tonight–just some small talk with strangers at a pizza joint. My middle child had a field trip today–they didn’t get back until around 6:30. After I picked him up, I decided to take the kids out to … Continue reading
Day 295: Enact
I was wandering through the library stacks today. Actually, it was my first time in the stacks of my new library. I had about a half hour until a talk I was supposed to attend, so I thought I would … Continue reading
