Today's encore selection -- from Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies by Jared M. Diamond. Not all new technology is adopted, even if it is more efficient and useful.

Why Fear Is a Terrible Friend … and How to Crush It – by Nicki Howell… March 21, 2023
on Live Write Thrive: “I’m scared.” That’s what my four-year-old said, squeezing my hand tight as we cranked our heads upward at the towering waterslide. People screamed. Water slushed over the side. He wasn’t wrong … it was a little terrifying. Fear was speaking to him. “Don’t do it—it’s too dangerous,” it whispered. Of course, […]

Hydroponic Towers Made Easy July 22, 2022
Hydroponic Towers Made Easy will chronicle my journey into the hydroponic gardening world. At first, I was intimidated by the mere thought of growing food in hydroponic towers. I thought, that’s WAY too much work and involves way too many aspects I know nothing about. Chemicals, pH balance, water pumps, special sprouting trays… UGH. Just […]

How I Met Your Father is coming to regular television March 21, 2023
In a move that’s vaguely reminiscent of when Netflix’s One Day At A Time reboot moved to Pop TV, Hulu’s How I Met Your Father—which is also a reboot of an existing sitcom, though How I Met Your Mother is a lot more recent than the original One Day At A Time was—is going to […]

The Bachelor drops a White Lotus homage during “Sex Week” March 21, 2023
It finally happened. This season of The Bachelor has been flirting with greatness since the beginning, but this week really delivered. It’s fantasy suites week, or “Sex Week,” as Zach calls it, because he’s really a 13-year-old boy in a man’s body. Of course, this man tries to do “the right thing” by saying sex […]

Perry Mason is right where he should be: with the odds stacked against him March 21, 2023
Three episodes into Perry Mason, that somewhat weak season opener now feels like the right move. Clearing the table from the last season, season two took what served it and moved on. I was pretty skeptical when I saw that the titles of each episode were “chapters,” a pet peeve of mine, namely because, in […]

Coffee to Improve my Health! March 19, 2023
Drinking 2 to 3 cups of coffee daily, including ground, instant, or decaffeinated coffee, is associated with significant reductions in cardiovascular disease and mortality, compared with avoiding coffee, a new analysis of the prospective UK Biobank suggests.

Amazon Smile, No More January 19, 2023

Mine was an organization Andrew established: the Legislative Drafting Institute for Child Protection.The good news is, you can still donate […]

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: […]

"Home" vs. "Away" May 20, 2022

Goodbye, Toronto May 10, 2022
I’m saying my goodbyes to Toronto. I’ve seen my last Hot Docs Festival film, and I’m just back from my last author program. I’ve probably had my last roti, checked out my last book at my local branch library, gone to my last art workshop. Horror of horrors, I’ve even watched my last play. The thing […]

Malnourished launches today January 21, 2020
It’s here. The big day. My memoir, the one I spent 15 years struggling over, launches today from Raised Voice Press. I’m feeling very exposed, very vulnerable. This is not at all similar to when Dolls Behaving Badly launched from Hachette Book Group. That was a novel, and while some of it was based on… […]

Walker’s book, geared for middle school readers (but still immensely enjoyable for adults), follows 14-year-old Sam’s move to Anchorage from the small fishing… […]

Comment on Gathering Gulls by matt goff March 19, 2023
In reply to JOHN MURRAY. Thanks John - it's great to hear about your experience out on the sound. I think the gulls are probably are earliest migrants.
