I recently had one child participant during our walk in the woods remark in awe that the color of the leaves looked ‘just like they do in my video game [minecraft]’ #outdooreducation

Took a group out for a night hike and it was my intention to play some games with these high energy kiddos. One look at the stars and they didn’t even want to bother with the games. They were so transfixed, an immediate astronomy lesson took place. “What are light years?” One of them asked.

When you have too many things to do, so you do nothing. You lay in a pile of books where you can’t choose which one to begin. This is me.

If I get the rumored $8,000 from DOGE, you can trust that I’ll be donating every cent of it to the National Parks.

I don’t travel to escape. I travel to learn. To become motivated and inspired in ways I could never be by simply standing still. I travel to engage, to connect, and to experience. I don’t travel to run away, but to run towards.

I want to take a long train ride. I want to have a good book and a journal and something warm and delicious to drink. I want a view that while gazing out makes me look in. #travel #manifesting

Being in Guatemala the last few weeks is like my own personal Eat.Pray.Love journey, just without the praying and loving.

Rest In Peace, Jules Feiffer. Died just shy of his 96th birthday, but he was still as vital as ever, plugging away on his next book. The way 2025's been going, I'm not surprised we lost our greatest living cartoonist less than a month into it.

Bear with me as I figure out my how and my why for using this account. I’m happy to be somewhere new and happy to have you with me. Pic: little black bear that was spotted now and then wandering my campus.
