Money and Happiness
Long, but well worth the read. I’ve tried to summarize the best points here.
In a typical survey people are asked to rank their sense of well-being or happiness on a scale of 1 to 7, where 1 means “not at all satisfied with my life” and 7 means “completely satisfied.” Of the American multimillionaires who [...]
The Monkey Wrench Gang: Sabotage in the Southwest
I just finish reading my first Edward Abbey book, The Monkey Wrench Gang.
I became aware of Abbey about 2 years ago when I met a man who quoted him fairly often. Now, I have finally gotten around to reading one of his most celebrated, er, rather notorious novels. And I have to say, I’m planning [...]
Cool Off with a Hot Summer Dish
One of my favorite dishes from a Mexican restaurant in my home town is Cotel de Cameron, a Mexican version of shrimp cocktail. I’ve yet to find anything like it up here in the Pacific Northwest, and I began craving it as the hotter summer months drove me from cooking with heat.

Boyden’s main character, Lisa, is self-loathing, short tempered and short-sighted. She worships her best friend—which I can understand being prone [...]
Stichomancy
Stichomancy: A form of divination by randomly choosing a word or verse and interpreting an oracular meaning from it to answer an inquirer’s question usually concerning a course for future action.
I was inspired by Caterina. Decided to go see what the books had to tell me today.
Today’s reading
After a few moments of shame, a strange [...]
