Field Notes 001: Origin

Spent the evening performing archaeological excavations from my old notes. I started these journals almost exactly ten years ago on 2016-09-14. Inconsistent, but available for me to time travel backwards. Features include misadventures, shenanigans, hikery, fuckery and so much more…

Exploring Is Never Boring

I just returned from a quick day trip to Louisiana full of exploration and re-inspired ideas. Only to return home, with the intention and energy disappearing. Maybe a good night's sleep on my own bed will restore the enthusiasm.

February Stats

Added 28 books to my library in the month of February. One title for each day. This brings the total acquired titles in 2026 so far to 83. Titles on my shelves are up to 315. 59 days in 2026…

31

They say the first 31 days of the year are the hardest and I agree. It isn't easy to maintain fitness discipline in January but by golly, I have done it. Now to close out the remaining 334 days with…

The Path Less Understood

There are some paths we can decide to walk on, and there are some that show up along the way we weren't expecting. Understanding which paths to take and seeing where they could go is what keeps me going forward.

The Future

I’ve mentioned previously that something about writing online has to change soon. I’ve looked into the options to host my decades of digital journals with various low/no cost alternatives and they suck. Speaking of The Future, I just finished this…

Play More

Time to pluck the strings and finally learn how to play this ukulele. Pretty soon it’ll be music to my ears. Not anyone else’s, mind you.

Just Add Water

For the past ten years, I’ve been limited on active cardio activities for various reasons. I used to enjoy trail and/or bayou running but, because I run like the wind(ed,) nowadays, it isn’t an option. Not to mention the high-impact…

Astronomical

Over the past month or so I have witnessed a few stellar phenomena such as the total solar eclipse in Arkansas on April 8 and a record solar flare-induced aurora light show in Florida (of all places.) Throw in a…

Unsettled

In Florida for a few weeks after a cross-country move but feeling unsettled. I cannot relax, I cannot enjoy. I am a spectator with no interests or motivation to pursue any of my go-to hobbies.

Journal

Exadelic

The world’s most powerful artificial intelligence machine has decided you are a threat and is targeting you. From there, anything goes. I’d give this a 3 out of 5 stars because 3/4 through and the novel has lost it’s way…

108/366

Today is the 108th day of the year and I have 108 images posted for the 366/2024 photo project. One photo a day, every day for a year so far using the Hipstamatic model 10 camera.

Minor Annoyances

My sleep schedule is off. My weight is over. My creativity is stifled even though I have major ideas I want to tinker with. All because of this move prep. Cannot wait to eventually get settled so I can correct…
