@cassiezhangs and I started off 2025 with a hike!
The second half of my landscape (orientation) photos from Korea.
South Korea in the winter is bitterly cold, but the warm food and lovely people more than make up for it. My favorite photo of this bunch was taken by Anna, who is blossoming into a wonderful photographer.
The last 6 books (I’m pretty sure) of 2024. There’s only one 5 star book here, which is Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents. This book does such a good job of linking how bad parenting can show up in fully-grown adults. It was
Ok, I had a lucky last 10 books, with half of them being 5 star books! Ok first up is The Vegetarian by Han Kang. This remarkable book is fascinating, dark, and compelling—one I did not want to put down. And even after I put it down, I can&rsqu

Pictures from our first @amtrak trip on the Coast Starlight train.
The latest 10. Of note were Shogun, Footnotes in Gaza, and Garden. Shogun held my interest from the first page as I was fascinated to learn about Japanese culture in the 1600s. It seemed so alien to my way of thinking, but also, so admirable. I hope
Sophie came into my life in 2008 when @juebejue and I bought a house. Our friends Chris and @perlamcarlson had recently found a stray cat and could not find her owner, even after an extensive poster campaign in Mountain View. They already had two dog
The latest 10 books! Of note were Radium Girls, The Man Who Died Twice, and The Bullet That Missed. Radium Girls was a sad ride through how limited the laws can be, and how corporations seem to enjoy more protections than people, especially when the
