Of Redwoods and Retreat

I'm heading to Humboldt in a few days. I think a dose of family time and babies and the Redwoods and the "nothing to do" is just what I need. A retreat of sorts. That - and a break from all things electronic. Technology is draining my sense of freedom (and more aptly, free time). I need to fast from emailing.

To Ghana or not to Ghana

I AM going... the Ghana trip is scheduled for March 26 - April 19.

Baby Jack is Back

The Peanut and Jack came home today. As you may know, Max is smiling because,

1. He loves baby Jack
3. He loves his aunties
4. He loves his new toys

Celebration is necessary.

The Teflon Person

I read this in "Relevant" and it is, well, relevant:

Look for opportunities to be a Teflon person, not a Velcro person. Material possessions stick to Velcro people and never come off. With Teflon people, though, wealth slides off of them and onto others.

New York Holiday

A holiday with Amy is always worth the wait. This B&W is a hazey remnant from our beach days in Africa, soon to be in contrast with Christmas festivities in New York.

I heart New York.

Truth

"However mean your life is, meet it and live it... It is not so bad as you are. It looks poorest when you are richest. The fault-finder will find faults even in paradise. Love your life... It is life near the bone where it is sweetest."

-- Thoreau
