into learning coastal piloting and dead reckoning for basic seamanship and enjoyed the sport of seeing how accurate you can get with experience. But celestial navigation was my true, shall we say, star-crossed experience.
Star Crossed
Soundtrack
Happenstance. That's the source of my mental playlist.
Solitude
Solitude is a tricky subject for creators. Some want a cup of coffee and an old-fashioned typewriter with the cat perched on the shelf and nothing else. Others need an isolated spot where you might be prone to smash the cell phone if it rings.
At the Job Interview
In interviews, a trap question can be, "what are your most admirable traits?" I've always desired to respond with, "Putting up with twits like you."
Providence
I have not one, but a raft of favorite quotes.
Top Job
One of the "Big Mysteries of Life" at the Folkie Palace was how we came up with the rent every month.
Books For January
The dead zone of winter, that's what I term the first six weeks of the new year. It's too snowy, too dark, too wet, and absolutely too cold for many of the activities I enjoy.
Assumptions
Have you ever been asked, “What do people incorrectly assume about you?” in a job interview? I have fought back the urge to admit that they have wrongly assumed I am a demi-god while the gods merely bless me.
Toby
Toby was a large shepherd collie cross who had perfected looking innocent while doing many things he should not.
Advice
Some people are so negative that they encourage the opposite in you. And that can be an excellent thing.
