Rhododendron and Mt. Hood

I finally went skiing on Mt. Hood after living in Oregon for over a decade! In the worst year for snow in a generation! I switched from snowboarding to skiing to same if I'd enjoy it more and I'm glad I did. It was much easier on my body. We rented a place near Rhododendron, a nice little cabin with a fireplace and hot tub. Staying with friends and their kids was an experience I'm not sure we were ready for, but overall it was a good experience. I'm hoping I can make it back at least one more t

Alaska

A short but memorable trip to Alaska. This has been a bucket list item I’ve been picking off for 25+ years of road trips and other domestic travel. Following this, I’ve officially visited all 50 states.

Really enjoyed this look behind the scenes at Brussels' École Van der Kelen-Logelain. The school, founded in 1892, teaches traditional decorative painting techniques including graining, marbling, and trompe l’oeil:

🎧 Before streaming platforms, there was the boombox.

One friend brought the music.
Others brought coffee and snacks.

A square became a playlist.

From Field Notes.
A reminder that technology changes —
but shared moments remain.

"what is our field"

we are looking for it

walking around Saana mountain in the mist, it is magical, and strange

we hum in the bog, a nearby permafrost site

the equinox requires us to think of the planet

the northern lights bring out the unafraid fox

on these chilly mornings with bright sun there is a marvelously complex interplay between the fog and the landforms. every morning is unique and arresting

this morning i passed an open field with oaks at the margins, and the fog lay a few feet deep across the ground, but in the center of the space there was a little green hill that rose up above it. only the thinnest layer of fog lay on top of the crest. it looked like a slice of land and fog pie

while out training around w students today, i saw something new to me — a man who carefully removed his shoes, took a tiny dropper of oil from his pocket & assiduously anointed his socks before re-shoeing

Shout out to Francois Morel and Vincent Audoin who get name-checked by Wes Anderson when talking about his Paris installation, ‘The House on Utopia Parkway’.
