Losing someone one day at a time

(from the end of February — early March 2023) My mother has dementia, and as I’ve written before, it’s a cruel disease. Every time I see Mom, there is a little bit less of her. For my sister, who sees Mom every week, it is an ebb and flow, some…

A small reminder

I ducked into the Uber and said, “Hi Monika.” I put on my best smile. Inside I felt disoriented, out of place, and needed to just get through the next 30 minutes to get back home. At home, I could decompress with the Philip K. …

Cluxing along the Scenic Rim Trail

I am known globally as a trend setter and so much of our modern vocabulary originated from my own creativity, like Unclets or Auntlets: The plural for nieces and nephews (and Vic, again, niephews is not going to happen). And, now I would like to introduce “Cluxing” — it’s not…

The cruelty of dementia

I spent three weeks in the US in April helping out with my mom, and while what I saw was very difficult, I have a lot to be grateful for. I’d been fortunate enough to visit Mom twice even while Australia’s borders were closed, and had the pleasure of two…

BJR’s Yoga of Truth

As a part of trying new things, I spent a weekend at a Yoga retreat in March, only to discover that it was Hari Krishna oriented and staffed by volunteers. At least the vegan food was yummy. …

Fast and Furious 9: Looking Inward

It’s been a long time since F&F9 was released, and I had the chance to see it with my friend Neel, one of my best friends and a founding member of the Austin inner circle for whom F&F movies became tradition, often accompanied by sneaking in a six pack of…

So you want a career in climate?

Since I’m getting this question a lot more often I thought I’d write down a few thoughts when people ask about how to transition to a career helping to minimise the impact of climate change. This is off the cuff and there are probably a lot of logical errors. …
