After years of assuming the goal is to live large, now trying to do just the opposite. That is, I'm an environmentalist in the age of hyper-consumerism.
Here's my philosophy of travel: travel rarely, so that each experience feels quite special. Travel somewhere unexpected, to reduce the effects of Big Tourism. And make it more about your hosts than about you somehow needing to "get away from it all." Photo: mokoro, Okavanga Delta, Botswana.

Switch-pitcher Jurrangelo Cijntje facing off against Arjun Nimmala in Vancouver last week. Nimmala is the highest first-generation Indian-American ever drafted in the four major sports. Cijntje is an absolute unicorn in his ability to pitch at the professional level with either arm. Both inspire!

Love this quote from Jenny Odell: "Let's not forget that, in a time of increasing climate-related events, those who help you will likely not be your Twitter followers; they will be your neighbors."

Confession: I find the "TLDR" acronym to be quite a slog. If I'm being honest, by the time I get to the L, I have pretty much tuned out.

So yeah, we're going to take Mar-a-Lago. It's just never worked out for the people there. We don't need to use taxpayer money to do it, we're just going to take it. I see some big things for it, parking lots, landfills, all kinds of things. It could really be beautiful.
