The radio  is something I now take for granted. With Spotify or Apple Music always around. I can choose whatever I want. But there is something nice about the radio. People you don’t know talk about things they kind of know about. And then they play music that’s popular at...

We arrived I think tired the weather was worse than expected especially for a beach. The water tossed and turned and the waves brought sea weed in piles so big that you would have cross it like a small gate in a field. Around the wind moved sand into your...

Today I hiked a volcano. Which is like a mountain that can change under your feet. But it doesn’t usually. I get why people way back would think there are dragons at the top. All the smoke. The strange smells earthquakes. No earthquakes when we were there, but it’s activity...

There were things that I saw that were different but then the same. I have the sneaking suspicion the trees are shorter. And  I know for certain there are many with lemons and oranges some olive trees too. I wonder were they always here, and people just tamed them put...

Espresso shot is all I got. Sitting on a rooftop or almost cafe in the hospital. I am fine, here for research, as are the people around me. I can catch some of their conversations. Serious tones. Do you think this model really recapitulates the disease? Do you really believe...

There is something about the arc of the sun that it follows in the sky. 
But I am not sure gotta get back to work.

But must focus. 
Or maybe beauty in the simple. 
But there is this deadline, for a...
