Things that I Still do and Things I Don’t
I’ve written about many experiences and activities over the life of this blog, and I’m sure some of you lie awake nights wondering if I’m still singing sea shanties or baking gluten-free sourdough bread. So, this post is an update.
I retired 1-1/2 years ago and have been learning how to slow down. There’s a fine line between relaxing and working on projects. I’m probably still too busy, but, as you

This is a second or third read for me, but it's been many years since my last read of it. I just adore Sig's writing style. One thing that struck me was the role of women in his stories. They do not join him in the outdoors. They just cheer from the

“...Don't you ever get the feeling that for all that people try to be so civilized and sophisticated, we're really just animals pretending to be human?”

“Her cousins laughed, daring the next wave to wash over before they passed. While they ran, a huge swell rolled along the side of the pier, fat fingers reaching up just in time to pluck them from the pier and win the macabre game of tag. Melora watched, helpless, hardly realizing the gravity of what was happening. It had all been a game. Her cousins were so good at games.”

“The professor is stumped about why the decline is happening with the wolves and what, if anything, we can do to help them. You see, the problem is we've let nature take its course here. We observe but don't interfere. Kind of like the Prime Directive in Star Trek.”

“It had been years since Melora listened to a symphony. She had been struck by how natural and organic the music was. She found herself thinking about how the instruments were all human powered—not one electrical impulse among them. Maybe that was why it was so easy to get transported by the music—to find oneself thinking about vast outdoor landscapes when the music played.”
