Two Months - Which Feel Much Longer
I look back after two months of pandemic life and think about remote work, creativity, normalcy, and what might change.
Week Something - A New Normal
I write about late April in the pandemic, time distortion, warmer Kelowna days, anxiety, and adapting to a new normal.
Week Three - A Challenging Time
I reflect on week three of COVID-19 life, screen time, new routines, and how quickly shock became normal.
Life is Changing For Us All and That’s Good
I write about COVID-19 reaching the Okanagan, panic buying, changing routines, and why disruption might still reshape life for good.
The Challenge of Solitude
I reflect on solitude, silence, writing, aloneness, and a Harper's article that stayed open on my desk for years.
A Letter to Email
I write a public letter to email, from Pine and early joy to Basecamp's Hey and the chore email became.
David Jewell
I remember David Jewell, our Whitehorse friendship, his personality, and the shock of discovering he had died.
Frictionless Life in 2020
I start 2020 thinking about Atomic Habits, frictionless living, feeling lost, and building better small decisions.
Turning 10
I celebrate Kylie's tenth birthday, her growing awareness, her phone, her reading of my blog, and how much she changed.
A Christmas Morning of Gratitude
I spend Christmas Eve alone and reflect on gratitude for people, pain, difficult situations, and what could have been worse.
40 - Amor Fati
On my 40th birthday, I write about amor fati, stress, work, property management, and walking into the fire.
Transitions
I walk through Kelowna, sit in Kasugai Gardens, and think about transition, uncertainty, work, and stoicism.
Home stretch
I work late on coursework, feel near the home stretch, and try to wind down while still wired.
Letter to Kylie
I write to Kylie about falling from a hammock, hiking at sunset, confidence, and keeping a wider perspective.
Telling the Truth is Hard
I write about how hard it is to tell the truth to myself and others, especially around work and mistakes.
