Today finds me dancing around the living room. Just a little. A few twirls. A slide across the floor. A kick here and there.

How Do You Sustain Meaning In Life?
This past weekend proved to be one of those glorious Northern California wonders, and happily, I was in just the right place for it: Western Sonoma County. A perfect fall episode. Brilliant Sun.
