Today's Weather: 82 Degrees and Sunny. Sunday, May 29, 2011. Upon reading my short essay on paralysis (see below), my roommate Gina was clever enough to remind me that this time last year I was reeling after Comps, and completely unable to get anything done. Part of this paralysis is the lack of external deadlines. Given my state of mind, and the lack of external deadlines, I’ve decided to embrace summer for once. The news as of now is that I’m definitely going into surgery. How can this be reality?

Today's Weather: 82 Degrees and Sunny. Thursday, February 9, 2012. I think in elementary school we'd hear about the starving children in China and how their existence meant we should make a 'happy plate.' I certainly remember how we'd all go show off our clean lunch trays to the nuns and get glowing praise about how we had not wasted any food. Tuvalu has plenty food, I was always told. No one ever starves in Tuvalu. You have no money? Food that is prepared but cannot be eaten is extra calories. If th...

Today's Weather: 82 Degrees and Sunny: January 2011
http://82andsunny.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Today's Weather: 82 Degrees and Sunny. Saturday, January 1, 2011. I could look up my resolutions for 2010. It was a plan, really. Ten things for 2010 that I wanted to accomplish. That I set out to do. If I remember correctly, the last item on the list was to lose the list. That’s usually my last item, so I don’t have to feel bad about failing to accomplish all the things on the list that I failed to accomplish. I can give you a more-or-less hot skinny here. What I didn’t do:. But I never did hot yoga.

Today's Weather: 82 Degrees and Sunny. Saturday, March 23, 2013. LASIK: How it went (early results). The short answer is great. Why I couldn't get full prescription in my left eye:. It was disappointing to hear this, but this wasn't the only reason I wanted LASIK, so it did not deter me in the end. This morning I can see. They said I can resume normal activities pretty much now (no swimming for a month). I'm gonna take it easy this weekend, but I do intend to go look at beautiful things. Maybe I'...

Today's Weather: 82 Degrees and Sunny. Monday, May 27, 2013. The Tao of Gardening and Climate Change. I've been really sick. I love this island. I love this ocean. I love the people and the cross-connections of cultures and worldviews and foods and thoughts and languages. I love the climate. I love the weather. I love the plants and birds that I had never seen or maybe even heard of before. I love it here. I really do. I should be so lucky to live here. I get to do it. I should be so lucky. We have mealy...

Today's Weather: 82 Degrees and Sunny. Tuesday, February 12, 2013. Today is Mardi Gras and Lent begins tomorrow. I like Lent. It is all about self-sacrifice and/or making yourself and the world a better place. The "and/or" comes in because I know people (women, okay? Anyway, I've been thinking about doing a carbon fast. Read the daily email I get and decide whether or not it applies to me. If so, do it. Do other things (see below). So where do I spend my energy (emissions)? So, here's the talk:. Exemptio...
