81 jars of peanut butter kept me alive during Service as a U.S. Peace Corps volunteer in the South Pacific.
In the midst of packing up a house for our move in a couple of weeks. So much paper, so many photos. But also lots of family history going back more than 100 years. Oh, and dust.
Holiday weekend. Family bike ride into Carrboro. Cappuccino at Gray Squirrel.
Duke School of Medicine celebrating Dr. Sam Katz, chair emeritus of Department of Pediatrics and highly regarded champion of childhood immunization - he developed the measles vaccine! He supported, recruited and celebrated women in medicine and science. Can still be seen around the medical center.

It’s become a Sauturday morning ritual: cappuccino at Gray Squirrel (Carrboro, NC), and writing in my journal.
Carrboro Farmers Market on a cool morning, the produce and flowers and meats and cheeses and products so glorious, and musician on a banjo and guitar. Splendid!
A walk through the magnificent Duke Gardens on my way to a luncheon to celebrate my 10 years as employee of Duke Iniversity.
Carrboro’s Gray Squirrel coffee roaster and shop is hoppin' this beautiful Sunday. My daughters have accompanied me, each of us with a book to read (I’m reading new release Grocery by my friend Michael Ruhlman). Living in a university town is still nice, 15 years on.
Smelling the roses while backyard grilling
Frank Levering says his cherry trees will have one of the better yield in the last 5 or 6 years. That’s great news. Can’t wait to get back to his Virginia orchard to pick the sour cherries.
Hoping to have a few hours this weekend (in between son’s birthday party at the movie theater and packing up house for a move) to start reading Michael Ruhlman new book, Grocery: The Buying and Selling of Food in America.

Having fun searching for available .fun domains. Uncharacteristically, not purchasing any. Viewing my annual domain renewal costs is not much fun anymore.
I seem to have reached the age at which one can hurt a shoulder simply by sitting at a desk surfing the web.

Renewed my subscription to the New Yorker, remembering Doc Searls’s lament from a few years ago – New Yorker punishes subscribers with higher renewal rates.
