— from Rosie Kuhn | Aging Like a Guru — I’m not at all afraid of the COVID-19 virus. I’m healthy, I live far away from people and am an introvert, which makes me happy being reclusive. In my perspective, the virus that is a greater problem in our world … Continue reading
| Aging Like a Guru | by Rosie Kuhn I have a small fishpond with Koi and goldfish. The nine of them have been together for about four years. They’ve weathered some severe winters together and keep growing. I don’t really know what I’m doing but something seems to be working, because … Continue reading
| Orcasional Musings | by Steve Henigson You’ll have to pardon me: Because I’m recovering from a life-threatening illness which left me with a temporarily-compromised immune system, I’m kind of isolated in my home for the COVID-19 duration. And, well, it’s very hard to do meaningful research on local Orcas … Continue reading
