I proceeded through life managing nonetheless until my body was charged with making an entire new person. As my son’s…
Personal update, coast pictures
In the two weeks since I posted from the coast, my son and I have finally returned from our trip. We didn’t actually stay for two weeks but we did turn two days into four. We didn’t really need an excuse to overstay our plans, but I did end up with computer problems and thought…

Note added September 27, 2009: About six months before I wrote this entry in April of 2008, when I was working on the AB1735 campaign for raw milk in California, I urged Mark McAfee at Organic Pastures to make his outsourcing public by including a page on his website with the products that are made…

Life After Depression
There really is life after depression. I am so excited by that point, in fact, that I neglect this blog and find fun/quirky projects to do with my family. We live in the Sequoia National Forest in a house (and former brothel) designed by Irving Gill. My 7-year-old son Frederick and I chronicle our adventures at Gill on the Hill when we're not exploring. Frederick posts some of his homeschool projects at "Frankly Frederick."
