Possibly my favorite Bob Dylan song. So I was ecstatic that it was one of the songs he sang at his concert in Monterey tonight. Actually he talked the song—-but who cares? I had never seen him perform. And all I cared about was seeing a legend, a gigantic talent, a man who was a [...]
At this moment, somewhere in upstate New York and Maine and Pennsylvania, kids are deeply invested in a battle of skills and wills, in one of the rituals of childhood summers. How will it break? What color will they be? Will they be pitted against a best friend or a brother or sister? Will they [...]
I often get signs from the universe—-and I always pay attention. So maybe I should take this one to heart. Even though it’s a different kind of sign, in a way it’s also coming from the universe. Possibly I wouldn’t feel the same if I were a fish…..but I like being king of the jungle. [...]

Tonight I went to a party at a friend’s home, to celebrate and share in something new—-called a spirit nest. Though I want to share this experience as I normally would, I’m pretty sure I can’t. Not only because it’s late….and I had too much wine…but because this spirit nest is a magical place—- made [...]
A week ago the eyes of the world were focused on the spectacular beauty of the California coastline—shown in its splendor from the US Open at Pebble Beach. If I didn’t live here, I might already be packed up, trying to figure out ways to move. So to be fair, I thought I’d share what [...]
And I was worried about Daniel in the lion’s den. I can’t even fathom having my 16- year- old daughter all alone on a sailboat in rough stormy seas in the pitch black night in the middle of the Indian Ocean hundreds of miles from the nearest ship and thousands of miles from land…… Not [...]
I already wrote about something else tonight that wasn’t very interesting or important anyway and I was about to post it when I saw a news bulletin. Since we all have our priorities I dropped the other piece you aren’t missing anything in favor of more important news. Today is a holiday. Lately, every day [...]
