सेज और मेरी शादी के कुछ दिनों बाद ही कई लोगों द्वारा हमसे सवाल पूछा जाने लगा: “बच्चे कब होंगे?” सभी दोस्त, सभी रिश्तेदार यहाँ तक कि कुछ अजनबी भी हमसे ऐसा पूछ रहे थे | हमारा जवाब होता था … Continue reading “आपके बच्चे कब होंगे?”
Just after Daegan was born we took a photo of three of us in our kitchen in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Ten years after that, having moved to a yurt and then to the desert southwest and then immigrated to Canada, we … Continue reading Twenty Years in One Photo
As my current job ends and I start to look at how my new life might look, I am leaning very strongly toward a work life like I had when we lived in the yurt – a life that I saw summarized in a quote by Tim O’Reilly just this morning:
“Money is like gasoline during a road trip. You don’t want to run out of gas on your trip, but you’re not doing a tour of gas stations.” Continue reading Yurt Years: Early Digital Nomad Life
April 2000 – Ava, Missouri Sage comes back from working on the computer at the house with a message. “Mal called. He wants to know if you can come down and help him with his computer.” I finish the dishes, and … Continue reading Yurt Years: Off to Work
We’re getting to a pretty decent routine of living – all of the necessities are covered. Cooking is now done on a gas stove, we have gravity fed “running water” (cold only) from a jug near our sink that runs down the drain and outside. My day even has a bit of a routine… Continue reading Yurt Years: Daegan’s Instincts
The sun rises early in the summer, and I can feel Daegan beginning to fidget in the bed next to us. All four windows of the yurt are open and the door is wide open as well, providing a cool breeze. Continue reading Yurt Years: Our First Mornings
We may seem to be wandering aimlessly but I do have a purpose in the back of my mind. We need to find a place to put our more permanent house. Continue reading Yurt Years – May 1999: We Have a Home
October 1998 – March 3, 1999 I love the prompts that Cee gives. They force me to go back through some of my photos and find photos. And behind many of the photos are stories. This one takes me back … Continue reading Yurt Years – Oct 1998-March 1999: CFFC Gooze’s Truck
In 2012, Daegan and I embarked on our longest ever bicycle tour: 500 Kindnesses. This project was treated like a charity bicycle ride in that we asked for “sponsors” to support us. But instead of sending money to a charity … Continue reading 500 Kindnesses Ride – Day One
In my Facebook feed lately there’s a lot of activity. 30 years ago is the graduation date for the class I would’ve graduated with had I not skipped Grade 8. Being a small town, many of us have known each other for most of our lives as I started at this school in Grade 2. One person in the Facebook group suggested that people write what’s happened since graduation since many of us didn’t stay so well connected. I started to think about it and there was a lot that happened (well, it was three decades after all) and so I … Continue reading 30ish Years post-graduation
