Food & drink. My Best Chocolate Chip Cookies. February 9, 2015. This hearty, not-too-sweet cookie evolved to meet the needs of my growing family. Reducing the butter, replacing eggs with flax seed, and adding nuts are anathema to the older generations. However, times, tastes, and metabolisms change, making this a proper cookie for the 21st century. 1 stick salted butter. 3/4 cup brown sugar. 2 tbsp ground flax seeds. 1 tsp baking soda. 3 cups flour (approx). 12 oz semisweet chocolate chip.

Food & drink. Riding the Coast Starlight. March 12, 2015. The poetry of train travel is alive and well on the Coast Starlight. Boarding in Oxnard, California, our route hugged a coast bursting with yellow and red wildflowers that bent toward the brilliant blue Pacific. Surfers, swimmers, and black rocks ribbed by decades of waves zipped across our windows. How could any screen compare, in depth or capacity to capture one’s imagination? By the time the sun had properly risen, we were racing among snow-cap...

Food & drink. The Really Big One. July 21, 2015. The New Yorker carries a fascinating article. By Kathryn Schulz explaining that an earthquake will destroy a huge swath of the United States’ northwest coast. The only question is when. How should a society respond to a looming crisis of uncertain timing but of catastrophic proportions? How can it begin to right itself when its entire infrastructure and culture developed in a way that leaves it profoundly vulnerable to natural disaster? A place for projects.

Food & drink. The SAS Dream Team. October 1, 2015. This morning, I got to bask in the warm glow of my long-past high school soccer career. Back in the late ’90s, I was a goalkeeper for the Singapore American School, and captained the side during in my junior and senior years, which were also the first two years at the school for Coach Zitur. He recently selected his Dream XI. Not included, but fondly remembered is Jason Peck, a solid fullback and good friend who recently passed away. August 25, 2015.

Food & drink. March 4, 2013. My favorite role in Werewolf. Is Moderator. Often, I’m the one introducing Werewolf to a new group.

Food & drink. August 25, 2015. One of my favorite books as kid was Uncle John’s Bathroom Reader. Packed with trivia that I would regurgitate. To any family member that would listen, one of my favorite pages dealt with predictions of the future that turned out to be amazingly dumb. My friend, Scott. I believe this also, and will add that by 2050, cars will run on some sort of rail or wire system with centralized power, rather than each car needing to convey its own energy source. By 2030, the concept of p...
