I know it’s not officially summer yet, but it sure feels like it is. We went dancing at the Kits Showboat last night and it was glorious as usual. About a month ago, there was a fire at the Showboat and we were all scared that we would lose our summers of free dancing at …

70: Fall Plans
It has been super rainy for the last few days (with an atmospheric river on the way), and today is the first day off I’ve had in months that has zero appointments or tasks scheduled. Finally, I am getting that fall feeling that I love so much. It’s belated this year due to ridiculously long-lasting …
49: 2020 Highlights
Well, 2020 is coming to a close. It was a crazy year, for sure. I was lucky enough to be in a situation where I could remain relatively safe and not have to worry too much about staying afloat, so while it wasn’t perfect, it did have some good parts, and that’s what I’m going …
47: Next Year
At this time last year I was in Tofino as part of my weeklong 40th birthday extravaganza, and 4 years ago today I saw Temple of the Dog at a little venue in Seattle. This year, I’m planning to walk over to the bakery across the street and see if I can get a day …
45: Project Overload
Ah, a nice rainy day to start my extra-long weekend! It kind of feels like this is the real start of fall now. Usually this is the time of year when I’m excited to get started on a bunch of things, but since this year was such an anomaly I am in the position of …
43: Back to Work
I officially go back to work tomorrow, so this week’s post is a round-up of all the things that I actually accomplished over the last (almost) 6 months, during my early retirement trial run. I am satisfied with what I managed to get done and overall pretty happy with how I used my time. I …
42: Trial Retirement
I’ve been mostly unemployed for about 5 months now. I’m amazed that it’s been that long actually, though I’m not really sure whether it feels like it’s been more or less time than that. Lately, I haven’t been as intent on making good use of every minute like I was trying to at first, but …
39: Depth Year Update
If there’s one thing I can say about COVID-19, it’s that it has forced me to progress on some of my Depth Year goals. Not quite halfway through the year but I thought it would be a good time for an update. Obviously, there’s a lot bigger and more important stuff happening in the world …
36: New Normal
Two weeks since my last post and what have I done with that time? Each week, I make a list of things I want to accomplish so that I have some handy options to refer to if I start to feel like I’m wasting away. I have never yet completed an entire list in a …
34: Daily Routine
Last week I mentioned that I was planning to make myself a schedule so that I would be able to “keep on track”. I don’t know what exactly the track is, but I wanted to add some structure to my days and I like being able to cross things off lists, so it’s basically list …
