Somehow the index files for my trip to Yosemite were AWOL. I recreated them, and it’s viewable again. I also need to clean up the diary of my trip for public consumption one of these days.

Tim’s trip to Yosemite, down th John Muir Trail

This quote is the kind of material that reminds me of why I like to listen to Prairie Home Companion and The Writers Almanac. Garrison Keillor is a genius with words, with both an ear for interesting words and a knack for speaking them with a delightful midwestern cadence.

When I last went to Summerfest, in Milwaukee, I saw James Taylor in the amphitheater. The review in the paper said that Mr. Taylor was like a favored pair of old blue jeans, “soft in all the right places, and tight in all the right places.” This sums up how I feel about Mr. Keillor’s radio work as well.

The question I am left with is the following. If we desire to recapture the feeling of seeing and feeling the world as we did when we are children — perhaps my time would be better spent trying not to teach my children to see the world the way I do.

Be well, do good work, and keep in touch.
