Mt. Baker from Semiahmoo Spit 4.25.26
Flypaper, E. Johnson (an exception to my 6 word reviews) My favorite April book is from my good friend Erik Johnson. Flypaper is his edited journal from the time his wife was facing life-ending health challenges and he was experiencing personal transitions.
My grief at Vicki’s slow death knows no bounds. p. 110
On The Hippie Trail, R. Steves intense, humorous, insightful, practical, classic Steves
…there was a standard of gouging Westerners whenever possible. While it got tiresome, it did get me thinking about the gap between the First world and the Third World. Even scruffy backpackers like us had more money than most locals. p. 128
The Greatest Sentence Ever Written, W. Isaacson big claim, thoughtful defense
Their (Washington and Jefferson’s) goal on contentious issues was not to triumph but to find the right balance, an art that has been lost today. p. 31
…the purpose of an economy is also something deeper. Its purpose is to create a good society. A good stable society where individuals can be free and flourish and live together in harmony. p. 37
Theo of Golden, A. Levi some mixed feeling on this one
She had learned over the years to live with partial truth… p. 219
How to Dodge a Cannonball, D. Dayle tried to like it, didn’t work
No thank you. I’ve noticed that things get worse whether I talk or not. p. 117
April playlist, new, old & captivating
don’t miss these new ones:
Project Hail Mary throw-back and in the moment
Billy Preston: That's the Way God Planned It raw beauty, have mercy, have mercy
Big Mistakes cast, especially Levy, sell it BIG
Hacks nothing better, maybe something equal, maybe
The Pit, season 2 not enough hours in the day
Kara gets it, we better listen
great insights into current religious trends
full disclosure: when I say I am going to the gym these days, I’m going to the gym at Bellingham Senior Activity Center (BSAC). Yes I am that age.
