After more than a few years, had the pleasure of lunching with Bruce Gram, my Grade 7–9 English teacher. More than anyone else, Bruce instilled in me a love of writing, speaking, and creativity.

Just read a fascinating speculative fiction by E.J. Kavounas in @PenumbricMag. A remarkable piece that poses questions about the implications of the evolution of technologies that already permeate our lives and that are certain to become more prevalent.

In preparation for Labor Day, I labored in the gym every day of August. Possibly a bit much for a guy recovering from a craniotomy… but it feels good to be working out again.

It’s been half a year since my craniotomy and I marked the moment with the 61ˢᵗ edition of CicLAvia where streets are closed to cars and opened to people. The course ran 6¾ miles between Culver City and Venice.
