The Present
I launched this site in the midst of my “professional halftime,” in Fall 2019. After 20+ years in the corporate world, I took the summer off to invest in my family (last year, we moved back to the States after eight years in China) and to write a book.
As I move out of my professional halftime, I’m excited to embark on my next journey. As of 9/9/2020, the book is available for pre-order and my new job starts at McCann China.

Mobile Biosphere Day 19: A little surprise
We were driving right through Henderson, so we couldn't resist. While maintaining social distancing, we stopped by my parents' place. Laini set up on their front patio to surprise-serenade them, and in return they plied us with food for the rest of our...
Lines.
We've now visited many states we'd never had the opportunity to experience. My eye was drawn to these lines. A line of windmills. - Oregon Irrigation line. - Wyoming One single power line. - Idaho One of many trains (full of TP?) - Arizona A line of trucks over a mile...
Ode to Puffin
I've been asked to share more about Puffin the pug, so here’s a post all about him! He’s a #rescuepug we’ve cared for these last three years. It was love at first sight. Laini saw a photo of him posted on social media in Shanghai, left in a trash can with burns...
