- It's still mostly about the COWS!
- I continue to work fulltime for Flow Financial Planning, LLC.
- I spend most of my time on my family's small farm, where I work from home and try to keep up with all the tasks of maintaining just under three acres.
- I continue to play the piano (and occasionally organ) for the Sunday worship service one to two times per month at Peace Lutheran Church in Silvana, Washington.
- It's now been seven years since I moved back to the Pacific Northwest after more than two decades in Southern California.
- In June, it will be 30 (!!) years since I moved to California from Washington, crossing the border into California just as O.J. Simpson's freeway chase and arrest for murder hit the news.
- I go through different phases of what I watch and listen to on YouTube. Here are some recent favorites:
- Doomer Optimism - I'm interested in the topics they discuss and appreciate their "unextreme" stance on issues that can easily attract extremist idealogues. This is a place I can catch up on current cultural trends and ideas.
- Other interesting people and ideas: Deep Dive with Ali Abdaal; Malcolm Guite
- By women in their 50s and older: The Life Tidy; Silver and Solo; Snapdragon Life
- On farming: Just a Few Acres Farm; Real Food Real People (NW Washington interviews)
- Personal development: Sheng Huang; Cal Newport
- Some of the many email newsletters I'm subscribed to:
- Front Porch Republic's newsletter
- Venkatesh Rao's Ribbonfarm Studio Substack newsletter. (vgr's personal blog feed is in my blog roll.)
- Field Notes from Christopher Brown (also in my blog roll). I am very much looking forward to his new book coming out this fall.
- Your Five-Year Plan, by my former colleague, Maddie Burton.
- The Bookshelf, by Tim Hoiland, a fellow MK (missionary kid).
- Favorite Twitter accounts
- John Wilson All things books and book reviews on matters I am keenly interested in.
- Matthew J Milliner An art history professor at my alma mater.
- Meg Bartelt My boss.
