Jane Goodall, who broke barriers of all sorts, has passed at age 91. Her accomplishments will always live, because she changed the world, the way we work, and how see humans and our other relatives. Here we are in a Zoom conference together 4 years ago.

My interview with Oprah Winfrey is live! Feel free to enjoy and to share. We ranged from dogs to the sacredness of Life on Earth. I am really pleased with how it turned out and Oprah's producer says it's one of his all-time faves in the series.

I think you’d enjoy this video of the first two tunes of our recent concert in the park on Long Island. It was a perfect afternoon for playing music outdoors. I had a ton of fun with such great musicians:

ALFIE gets a shout at Powell's Books in Portland, Oregon.

OK--THIS is gonna be good. My best-kept secret is that I'm a jazz drummer. We're doing two outdoor concerts on Long Island, NY.

Happy Juneteenth. A holiday worthy of reflection and celebration of the best and most important step forward in our nation since its founding.

All in favor of fascism in a militarized United States, you're in the top photo.
All opposed? You in the bottom photo.
Both on June 14. We are bigger!

Happy World Oceans Day (for me, that's every day. You too, if you breathe oxygen).

If you're on Long Island or in NYCity, come out and take a break and feel good. You deserve it. You need it. I'd love to see you.

Alfie's young ones are starting to look like owls!
May 26, 2025 at 12:07 AM
Alfie continues to be a perfect owl mom. These six owlets bring her lifetime total to 21 hatched. She has never lost one in the nest. All prior broods have fledged. They will probably leave the nest in the 2nd week of June. Her mate Jack has continued to be an able hunter and provider.

On this day 15 years ago, the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig underwent a blowout induced by negligence and greed, killing eleven workers and creating the worst individual oil pollution event in US History. I chronicled the months of chaos, fraud, and ineptitude that followed.

@bsky.app We the People, showing what makes America Great--yet again. We will protect the Constitution, return to the rule of law, and have our country back. That flag is ours.

@bsky.app More dog happiness.
April 4, 2025 at 10:24 PM
@bsky.app Because dogs make us better people.

@bsky.app Here's what the people focused entirely on money and "efficiency" have done.

Here's just a couple of minutes of us playing Chick Corea's 500 Miles High, taken by an audience member.

@bsky.app Just back from Baja. We went with Oregon State University's Marine Mammal Institute. At San Ignacio Lagoon, Gray Whales mate and nurse new babies. The whale encounters are extremely well managed. Our local camp and guiding group was Pure Baja Travels; I highly recommend them.
