I’ve had a few rough landings in my days of air travel but only yesterday did I experience one that actually hurt. The pilot slam dunked the plane hard enough that the shock actually jostled my tailbone. On the way out of the plane, the stewardess was joking about the landing to anyone who would [...]

Back in March 2009, I posted a summary of an arts market research project I undertook for a friend back in New Zealand. You can find [...]
Synchronicity, Part 2: Eddy or Current, Eddy or Current.
When I was seventeen, I was very fortunate to spend a summer in Banff on a senior Outward Bounds leadership course with the Royal Canadian Army Cadets. Other than one huge tactical error, it was a great summer.
The tactical error? I had the choice of being in an all-male or a mixed-gender company and I [...]
Good Brain; Good Brain: Kudos For Leaving The Made-Up Drama In Our Dream World
I slept in today. Until noon. I had set the alarm but I got up, turned it off, and went back to bed. The good old trick of leaving the radio on had little effect. Oops.
The sleep-in was long overdue but also a little restless. I had another crazy dream. I was battling and being [...]
