It’s been awhile since I updated this /now page, in large part because I’m not sure that my original vision for this—something updated perhaps every 2-3 weeks—is the right way to go.

A public lands gratitude practice

Our national parks and public lands have played an oversized role in my life happiness. Many (perhaps even most?) of my best memories stem from trips to these treasured places. One of the best ways to remember these cherished moments is to relive them regularly—so I’ve begun posting photos from those trips in one long … Read more
