Zimbabwe
ByChrisWhat you’ll hear first is Jakey. Followed by his mom. Then the little man again. Hands down—no question—one of my Top-5 favorite things Jakey says. It’s up there with “weed whacker,” “leaf blower,” and “Daddy!” Zimbabwe stands for the last letter in the “Alphabet of Nations” song by They Might Be Giants. It’s one of…

Just a Little Off
ByChrisI followed this truck along Broadway and over the Broadway Bridge last week. Which is to say, I followed the tow truck that was towing this beat-up old mail truck. Every time I looked the delivery truck square in the face, it felt just a little off. I knew it was being towed, but there…

Moving Forward
ByChrisWe sometimes get a second chance at things. But, never a second first chance. Past remains past and we dwell there only in our minds. And only for short spells if we want to move forward. Whether a physical path or a path more spiritual or metaphorical, realizing when we cannot go back is freeing. …

Summer Solstice
ByChrisLongest day of the year. Did you make the absolute most of it? Is that too lofty an expectation? Here’s the thing, perfection might be a nice target, but falling short can still mean a job well done. Did you give it a good go? Did you take care of yourself and show kindness to…

Favorite Places Part II—Paths in the Forest
ByChrisPeople go new places for vacation because these places are different. Or sometimes we might return to the same place year after year because it was once a new place that struck a chord with us. We love having a version of that same experience upon each return.

Googleyness and the Dissident Teen
ByChrisI’m sitting in a Starbucks in Santa Clara. It’s stunning. Just a couple miles down the road from Google and you can practically smell it in the air. Or maybe that’s just the coffee.
