I listen intently

bare branches in the still air

refreshed by silence

An Asimov Quote For Your Friday

“Education is not something you can finish” ~Isaac Asimov

Dr. Asimov’s work had a profound impact on me. I fully embrace everything that this quote entrails. Continued learning is key to a vibrant life.

Fannypacks, Life, Death and Resurrection

Timbuk2 Fannypack Ad
Timbuk2 Fannypack Ad

Having come of age in the 80s, I spent several key years with the ever-glorious fannypack. I watched its death without concern, much like the supposed demise of disco and leg-warmers. Recently, I noticed the creeping resurgence of these little gems, along with up-turned collars on polo-shirts (I proudly support polo-shirts, even without the up-turned collar).

So, I found both joy and amusement when the ad above (for high-end bag-crafter Timbuk2) drifted through my inbox. A reminder, I guess, of the old adage “what goes around comes around”.

For some strange reason (weird, aberrant psychology, perhaps), I kept typing “up-terned” instead of “up-turned”.

feeling the wind in my hair
the jays cheer for sun
