FAX

I seem to be achieving one of my goals for this house buying process – do as much as possible electronically – at least more than the last time I went through this dance. I hate FAX machines. I hate the “me use markum stick…

Pico Bonito (post 2)

Last morning at the Pico Bonito lodge. We got up early this morning for the “early bird” walk. Our guide proceeded to whistle up a pigmy owl, cuckoos, tucans, mot-mots, and a variety of other awesome birds. When I say “whistle up,” I mean that…

Pico Bonito

I write from the Pico Bonito lodge / nature reserve / insanely sweet little hotel. Continuing my numerological obsession – we’re in cabin “1”. Yep. Uno. Woke up early this morning to stroll around Copan Ruinas. Got coffee and watched the women come out of…

Copan Ruinas

Posting from Copan Ruinas, on our second day of the trip. Day one was pretty exciting. Neither of us bothered to verify the actual departure time of our flight, and we wound up missing it. That’s a first for me, and it didn’t feel as…

Atheist Scholarship

We judged the RI Atheist Society essays and picked a winner. I thought that the right thing to do was to write to all the non-winners personally. One guy wrote back, and I responded to him. I think it’s a good conversation, so I’ll share…

Update

I am in Hampton, VA. I have the same hotel room that I’ve had before. I’m pretty sure that’s a sign that I travel too much. Yesterday, I saw the Dalai Lama. He wore a Patriots ball-cap. It was awesome. Now I have *another* pile…

Of Negative and Imaginary Lays

Lightly edited for content and privacy, I present here a chat on the topic of her notional new charity. Also included is a discussion of whether “getting laid” must always have an integer coefficient – as opposed to the existence of both negative and imaginary…
