Good Morning and Happy Sunday! I hope that everyone is doing well, and has had a good couple of weeks. Summer is definitely feeling like it is over here in Seattle. We have had some rain, but then also some brilliant early fall days that have just been lovely. Heat
Labor Dave weekend at the Gorge, a second-place finish at the 24 Hours of Lemons, and Corvo gets to shed 250 pounds for North Americans. Plus a demon's casino, a lunar eclipse, and a new heat pump.
A couple months ago I introduced George and Kai on WhatsApp. Last weekend the three of us were sailing under the Golden Gate Bridge together.
Tom and Helen hit 40 years, Alex and Carter raced to Tacoma and back (mostly), and our 10th annual pig roast was the best one yet.
The final Race Week ever, and we went out in style — a race win, third overall on the last day, new sails, and a slow cruise home through the Swinomish Channel with the J/105 fleet. Now it’s pig roast prep, then the final push to North Americans.
Well, it’s almost time to go racing. Yesterday we got up, watched the Belgium Grand Prix on tape delay, and then went and hung out at the Yacht Club until it was time to watch the World Cup. Man, that was a great game, with Spain beating Argentina 1-

Well, this is goin g to be the last race week, so I might as well try to capture as much of it as I can. In its hey day in the late 90’s there were over 150 boats participating in this event. Now we are down to only
Happy Sunday! Well, what a week for the World Cup! But alas, all of the teams that I have been rooting for have been eliminated. Belgium did in the US last Monday, England defeated Norway, and Argentina did in Switzerland. But, man, it has been a good run. This is
Good evening! Had a pretty good week this week. From helping Tim finish up replacing the motor in his truck, to sailing, to helping my friend Dave pick up some furniture from his folks in Portland to brewing beer for the upcoming pig roast. First, Tim's truck. I
Hi All! Welcome to Summer! It's been a couple of weeks of living life and settling in. It's been two weeks now since Alex and Victoria moved into their new house, and they are feeling quite at home. So much so that Catherine and I have

Over the past couple of years, I have evolved in how I share these writings. In the beginning, it was just a simple email sent to Catherine's mom, containing old pictures of Alex that I would scan every morning. This was during Covid, and everyone was feeling so

This seems like an important read to me. I've noticed, in my own interactions with Claude and Gemini (I deleted my OpenAI relationship with fire) that they very much validate me. Which I know is not good. https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2026/04/ai-chatbots-and-
