Flow on Demand
It’s funny how the universe drops what you’re looking for right in front of you when you’re least expecting it. In my last post, I wrote about how inducing neuroplasticity is a key ingredient for writing blog posts. A repetitive, familiar routine doesn’t provide me with as many opportunities to let the words flow or … Continue reading
Building amidst entropy while no one is paying attention
Every once in a while, I look at old posts on this blog, and am so grateful for the depth and breadth of experiences that I captured from what seems like a few lifetimes ago, in a place that no longer exists as I remember it. It was a time when cellphones had an amazing … Continue reading
Ambrosia Express Fish Curry
Curry was the first food to open my mind to spice and heat, and remains a perpetual favorite. One of my ten curries was made by Neil, a very kind and talented Nepalese cook who used to work at Ambrosia Indian Bistro on Cannery Row. I think I got pretty close to the recipe this … Continue reading

Ranier at Dusk
The elusive mountain and its setting have a Tokaido vibe going on. On a formatting note, this was posted as a Featured Photo. I’ll be playing with settings to see what they do.
The Pioneer Bridge
It’s hard to believe that I can see the bridge from the Pioneer commercial from my patio. Pioneer commercial: More to come…
Is this thing still on?
A decade ago. That’s how long it feels like it’s been since I signed in, typed words into the title and body fields, uploaded pictures, and hit [Publish]. Nothing really took over the place of Higo Blog. Posting on Facebook just wasn’t the same, and actually started feeling like a fax of a xeroxed picture. … Continue reading
