That’s the plan (and actually better pace than the stack of partly reads on my nightstand table). The book is “A Year in the Woods” by Norwegian writer Torbjørn Ekelund– the sad state of web search yields no author managed web site, just links to book sellers or book reviews, I link therefore to a […]
It’s meaningful to me even if “nobody” blogs anymore, these things still work as generators of potential serendipity. Earlier this year, I rummaged through some old photos, online databases, exploring what small shreds I could find about my mother’s brother, my Uncle Harvey. I have the barest warm glow shreds of memories his wife, my […]
“Holy late to the blog writing, Levine” yells the inner critic. Whatever. Here is my tale of a circle I was most fortunate to have been swept into. And more critical whinging as I am actually a day later than I should have been. So it goes. And the title was supposed to have this […]
Last month I did some of my family history unraveling in honor of my Aunt Dorothy’s birthday, as she is the last living sibling of my Mom. The 1934 family photo of all five got me thinking of my mother’s brother, Harvey, the only boy. The expressions in these photos match my Mom’s stories when […]
For perhaps the first half of my Type-1 diabetic life (October marks 53 years without a properly functioning pancreas) I invariably walked around with a roll of these in my pocket. Yes, it did take some explanation to other school kids when suddenly I started shoving them in my mouth “Hey! You’re diabetic, you can’t […]
It’s about five days since a key date but, there is, after all, something about the fives. Get ready, here it comes. Yes, one of 365 blocks on the calendar is rather key here at Ursa Acres… Five years ago was when Cori and I “did a thing” and tied our lives forever together on […]
What kinds of web footprints are you leaving? Or does it matter since they just blow away? Where do you choose to do your walking? I am not talking about your data trails, am talking about the trails you make as a contribution for others. I know my answers, which are just mine, and are […]
Strap in (or hit eject) for a long blog ride. This has been one of those percolating drafts, meaning it has not progressed far from my head. But time is essencing. As there are a wave of steps to weave together, I am borrowing in all sense of honoring, not stealing, a section convention from […]
You know, like “two great tastes that go together great” (uh oh repeat metaphor alert) the end of August is the end of 3 month run of DS106 Daily Creates that were also set up as an activity for MYFest22. The latter was a 3 month series of “recharge and renewal experiences” coordinated by Equity […]
Despite sci-fi ideas of bending, traveling, tunneling wrinkling, that time thing just keeps moving along. Another August 27. Click. Sure the laws of physics can explain the passage of 10 years since my Mom passed away today and 20 years since Dad did, but how does it make sense that they would do so on […]
