Seasons are nice because there is always something to look forward to. I’m tired of putting raisins in my yogurt. But, if this year is going to be anything like any of the other years I’ve experienced (and I suspect it will) I don’t suppose I have too much to worry about. Berry season will come. The pumpkins came, the …

Shopping and Soapboxes: Our Culture of Food
I was going to write about food today. I have a lot to say about food because I like it so much. For example, despite what Ms. Chast has to say here, I could write a novel starring the glorious banana as hero. I could write poetry about soup. I could write a tragedy about the way our fast food …
Sleepless in Stumptown
I heard a story about how tea came to China. A monk was praying in cave. He fell asleep and slept for many hours.

Qi Gong with Monica Rudestam
I’ve been learning about slow. I left New York City, the fastest place on Earth, to take a few deep breaths and maybe a long stroll or two that no one would interrupt with an elbow, briefcase, or soggy umbrella in my side. I’ve been enjoying the space, even if it means if I drop something on the street, there might …
