Senior Sneak: 1955 June 10, 2022
Senior Sneak was the name applied to Marin Catholic High School's pre-graduation recreation getaway day, which for the class of 1955, including my brother and his roll of Tri-X film, was on May 18th that year. There was nothing particularly sneaky about it, since it was school-sponsored -- another shot depicts the principal at the […]

In reply to BASE BALL TO-DAY: bwayne beat me to the answer of July 17, 1909, but here's the box score for that day: https://www.baseball-almanac.com/box-scores/boxscore.php?boxid=190907170... Of all the players that played that day, only one, William Joseph "Jap" Barbeau, played for his team only in 1909 and was traded to the Cardinals in August.

Westworld goes back to where it all began (again) August 8, 2022
As we near the conclusion of Westworld’s season four, it seems clear we’ve known the ending the entire time. We’ve known, for instance, that Bernard (Jeffrey Wright) was always going to die, that the city was going to burn, and that the likelihood that everyone would survive was…well, let’s just say, grim. As this…Read more...

Bullet Train shoots to the top of a box office that’s even worse than it was last weekend August 7, 2022
In what was—*checks notes*—an extremely funny pun, we referred to last weekend’s DC League Of Super-Pets-led box office as “ruff” because the various movies in U.S. theaters had made less than $100 million combined for the first time in several months. Well, the joke’s on us, because this week is even worse than last…Read more...

We discussed all the foregoing topics and more in the context of the principles of good storytelling. For example:Why the fascination with violence generally? And how do you depict it compellingly on the page or […]

Comparing Mint Plants: Spearmint, Apple & Chocolate April 23, 2020
Mint is a reasonably cold-hardy perennial, meaning it grows back every year under the right conditions. Just like there are many different kinds of tomatoes (cherry, beefsteak, roma, etc.), there are plenty different varieties of mint, too. Here’s an overview comparison of three different kinds of mints that grow well for me in Anchorage, Alaska: […]

Chickens Laying Eggs in the Winter April 4, 2020
Do chickens still lay eggs in the winter? That’s a common question many curious poultry lovers ask me. The answer? It depends. Egg laying chickens will naturally taper off and cease egg production in winter months, assuming you live somewhere that gets darker in winter months than summer. In Alaska, where our winter months might […]

Book review: Secondhand Summer by Dan Walker December 1, 2019
I had had Alaska writer Dan Walker’s YA novel SECONDHAND SUMMER on my list for a long time, and two weeks ago finally had the chance to dive in. I wasn’t disappointed.

Comment on About by Bill Tweit June 16, 2022
Matt, good to meet you at Swan Lake last week. I realized I did not see any Eurasian Collared-Doves on this visit to Sitka, and I did not find any eBird records after January 2022. It would be fascinating to track their rise and fall in the Sitka area. Bill
