From the Shrinking Moon to the Cold Hard Truths
So, the Moon is shrinking! Granted, the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter images indicate it is by a mere 100 meters of diameter in something like 100-1000 million years. The damn thing is actually cooling off on the inside and getting scrunched up on the surface. Fascinating, isn’t it? However, what might turn out to be even [...]

Still Not Quite
Surgery did throw me off rhythm for a while, but I can’t really blame the first-person encounter with stomach lacerations without anesthesia for the long silence. It has a lot more to do with the twin devils of work and procrastination, the main reasons why I’m not exercising regularly, eating healthy, completing that damn first [...]

- the perfect storm. #
- happily arrived at a mostly Teutonic nudie camp near Punta Kriza. Tent up, food ready, Dalmatian music playing. World, I'm dead for you. #
- on the road again, to Cres. Hit Lovran & Ika on the way... what a trip down memory lane - I remember *everything*. Squee! #
- naked under clear blue skies, by the crystal blue waters in Kamenjak nature park at the tip of Istria. Nearest neighbors-50m to either side. #
- through hail to a sunny afternoon in Rovinj. It's beautiful, but I remember almost nothing-what I do curiously shrank during the last 25yrs #
