• Tracking Tech Changes Through the Jason Bourne Movies

    Twice a year, I do what I call my Jason Bourne Movie Marathon™. On the July 4 and New Year’s Day holidays, I watch the entire series of movies in order. (Well, it’s been a while since I’ve included Legacy in there; I just don’t care for it.) In every movie, it’s basically Jason vs. …

  • Baby steps…in the ocean

    I’ve swum in pools twice since my accident, and that was fine both times. But I had a feeling that getting back in the ocean would be a different story. On our first day at the Oregon coast last week, Cari and I went down to the beach so I could get in the ocean …

  • Back to Hawaii in “Boys of Summer”

    I don’t even know where to begin with this… Cari and I saw the Eagles at the Sphere in Vegas on Saturday night. (Incredible show. You all know how much I love them.) Our seats were down on the floor, 9th row — great spot to see the band’s faces up close, but TBH not …
