The Truth About Cave Slime Mold
I know some of you think that Inga rarely leaves the house, but believe it or not, there was a time when Inga embarked on grand adventures to far away places. Fifteen years ago, Inga and I belonged to the University of Washington Spelunking Club and we went on week long caving expeditions in Montana …
Fame And Reputation
We've been doing some long overdue remodeling in the house. We hired Kevin, a good friend and superb contractor, to rip out the upstairs bathroom. As it needed a complete overhaul, Kevin gutted the room right down to the studs. Inga and I spent quite a bit of time working on the design of the …

If you read Pisces 2004, you know that I engaged that water energy in a big way by taking up SCUBA again after a 22 year hiatus. I have put myself through a basic SCUBA course and have aced all the written exams as I only needed to make minor adjustments here and there to …

Happy New Year!
Capricorn 2002 completes our third year of publishing this newsletter. As I look back at all those newsletters, I'm struck by all the personal growth that I've experienced in that time. At the same time, I feel a daily frustration and lack of patience with the rate of progress in my growth and that of …
What I Did On My Summer Vacation
I knew I was overdue for a vacation, especially with the extreme chaos of the past 12 months at work. And yet, it really didn't sink in how out of shape my body/spirit/mind alignment was until I got in the saddle and took off on an 8-day motorcycle tour of Glacier National Park in Montana …
