Horology
The most shocking thing to me about seeing the change of season, day by day, is the awareness of the incremental passage of time. Growing up & living in So Cal, as it turns out, is just a blur of … Continue reading

Double
As I’ve mentioned before, in Chinese the number four is considered unlucky because the word for “four” (四 sì) sounds like the word for “death” (死 sǐ). This why, in an abundance of sensitivity to superstition, I avoided telling older Chinese … Continue reading
Cervine
I saw a family of deer grazing on the side of the highway as I drove home from work. Delightful. And they weren’t nearly as pushy as the turkeys.
Orphan
As I was getting dressed this morning, I looked at my particularly poor choice of clothes and thought of a phrase my mother used to say to me as a child when she’d disapprove of my appearance before I would … Continue reading
Brand
While nailing down details for my trip to Australia in November, I came up with a sort of insane plan. I’m going to do it. In recent times, perhaps since moving back from China, I’ve found that a useful guiding … Continue reading

Fingers
A favorite singer/songwriter/guitarist of mine, David Wilcox, took a request from an audience member one time when I was seeing him in concert. It was an older song of his, one he played rarely. After fumbling around on the fretboard … Continue reading
Onboarding
Today was my first day at Blue Sky Studios. First time I’ve started at a new company in seventeen years. The last time was in 2001, starting at DreamWorks. My second day of work was 9/11. Here’s opening Day 2 … Continue reading
Overlap
I walked outside to discover several of the nearby streets were blocked to traffic. An arts fair was overlapping with a farmer’s market. (Apparently it’s a thing on summer weekends.)

Branch
How has it taken me this long to realize that I’m living in the same Stamford as “the Stamford Branch” of Dunder-Miflin from the U.S. The Office? (On the left is the view out my window of the Long Island … Continue reading
Leaves
