Several years ago, I sketched an idea for a space by the ocean, something I imagined building later in life during my coastal grandma era. I set it aside and tried to forget about it. But recently the pieces aligned in a way I couldn’t ignore, and now I’m making it real. It’ll be a little spot on the coast off Highway 1, not far from SFO. In many ways, this project is a physical container of my heart and soul. I’ve found myself gravitating to Farcaster while shaping this idea, quietly inspired by the creativity and positivity here more than anywhere else online. I like: coffee/tea chats, surfing, trails, design, learning how things work (catch me at the factory tour), travel (husband’s a commercial airline pilot—feel free to send your flight q’s), and playing music. I’ve been lurking a while and finally posting. Big thanks to @linda for being so welcoming. It was the extra push I needed. Grateful for this community and looking forward to being more active. I think I like it here 👉👈

The last couple years, my reading happened mainly in the air flying monthly back and forth from England. I limited myself to one book at a time to preserve carry-on space. Getting to be more rooted at home these days, my reading habits have shifted. I’ve been rotating through multiple books throughout the week. Top left: Bedtime read. I’ve always had vivid dreams, but they’ve grown more cinematic and action-packed. Top right: Weekend afternoons. This was released recently for Hilton’s run for California governor. He’s a former Director of Strategy for David Cameron and Fox News host. Bottom right: Weekend afternoons also. A gloomy take on Palo Alto’s history and place in the world. The author grew up there and identifies as a communist. Bottom left: Mornings. I began slowly going through Sowell’s writings about five years ago, my curiosity sparked when his ideas became non grata in some circles. My favorite in the rotation actually. Very different books but seem to orbit similar anxieties.

I am excited to come across this little 8mm film reel in a dusty corner of our local archive. John Severson was the founder of the iconic Surfer magazine. He went around documenting 1950s/60s surf culture through art, writing, and film when it was still a niche sport. These reels were originally taken on 16mm then edited down to 8mm. They were sold by mail order back in the day and are hard to find nowadays. John Severson sold Surfer magazine in the 1970s, then moved to Hawaii for a quiet life with his family. The magazine continued on with a rotating door of owners, until taking a four-year hiatus starting in 2020. It was bought last summer by The Arena Group (owner of Parade, Men's Journal, etc.). The media group is trying to revive the magazine's status as the authority on surf culture. I'm looking forward to their coverage. But John authentically lived, breathed, and surfed the emerging scene through his art, experiments, and distribution. I'm not sure the magazine could ever be so bold today.

Afternoon pick-me-up: O’Sulloc green tea from Jeju, a citrus called “Hallabong” also from Jeju, and mochi filled with red bean. Jeju is a volcanic island in South Korea. Some elderly locals there still speak a language designated as critically endangered by UNESCO. The government has been trying to revive it, but it’s slipping away as even its teachers are not fluent. I studied Latin for six years and would’ve given anything for an audio recording of someone speaking it in ancient Rome. The oldest voice recording in my family is of my grandmother singing on a cassette tape about four decades ago. These days we’re flooded with records of ourselves. It can feel self-obsessed and make us cringe. Still, every time I zoom out, I appreciate it (you) all as part of a great leap in humanity’s ability to preserve itself.
