Live Nation , hmmmm 👀.

For every moment I read the sad/depressing/shocking and horrifying news, I need to have an equal moment with my cat to recalibrate.

I love getting up early and having unexpected things happen!

My cat with my dead cat. Any questions!?

There are two kinds of people in this world. Those who call a car a car. And those who call it a vehicle. And the two kinds of people are not the same. Thank you for attending my TED micro talk.

Me (right) and my big bro on Lake Erie way back in the day.

Morning…

Whoa, I read an alarming article about (increasing) turbulence in the skies (like flying commercially) vis a vis climate change. I will just leave it at that.

This talk tonight by @jamellebouie.net at Bowdoin College looks great. Open to the public too. I think it's available to stream also. bowdoin.campusgroups.com/stewardship/...

It snowed last night in Portland Maine. Today the streets are rivers, I’m biking through rivers of winter debris. Maybe some of it is your lost mitten? It’s funny because lots of cars are blobs of white puffy snow, not yet cleared off, driving in rivers. I see so much when I commute by bike! ❤️

"I hope it could give people a 2 hour little ceremony. That means that there's a heart opening. But it will be painful, right? Because when your heart opens, you feel all the things you usually don't feel & then a catharsis can emerge." ❣️ Director Chloe Zhao @npr.org www.npr.org/2026/03/03/n...

Thank god for the moon!

Everyone who visits Maine in summer should have to experience this in the winter! No notes, just perfection

Super blood worm moon on deck.

Remember the announcement a few years back that @stephenking was going to have writing residencies at his former home in Maine? They're now open for applications stkfoundation.org/writers-resi...

the mixtape is superior to the playlist precisely because of its limitations: what selections from the maker’s music collection can fit on a C-90. & it was a labor of love, pushing record, stopping just in time, over & over. not to mention intricately thought-out cover art on the insert

Sim says hiiiiiiii. A Portland Maine cat who is ready for spring.

The dumbest song that brings me joy & bad car signing, is PUSH, Matchbox 20! “I wanna push you around Well, I will, well, I will I wanna push you down Well, I will, well, I will I wanna take you for granted Well, I wanna take you for granted Yeah, I will, I will” I blame Greta Gerwig.

Roads are bad in Portland ! Slippery

Convos with my cat are always some version of this: Me to my cat yesterday: "You're a meow meow boy!" Cat: Meow. Me: See? Cat: Meeeeeeeeeoooooow!!!! Me: "YOU ARE THE CUTEST MEOW MEOW BOY!"

Waking up supremely early and taking time to write in the morning, away from phone and computer screens, is life changing!

Rhiannon Fox was on her way home from meeting with city officials about how to reduce danger from cars on Friday when she was hit by a car.

Update: Stayed indoors most of today except to shovel a bit! My biggest “accomplishment” is in how little I did, except I did eat two breakfasts. Wind still wild though, isn’t it Maine?

Blizzard vibes in Maine. Winds seem to be picking up out there now. Things are mostly all closed, or cancelled. Stay safe, friends.

Whoa, Ep 3 of this American Life is super compelling! “The Lawyer, The Judge and The Wardrobe” it’s 15 min, you should listen! www.thisamericanlife.org/i-want-what-...

Wow, NYC travel ban sounds dreamy, nice and snowy and quiet. No cars! Of course, I hope everyone first and foremost is safe.

This is so good @npr www.npr.org/2026/02/22/n...

GOOD MORNING.

Fixed it for ya sim 😂

Had to get up super early to shovel & take someone to train station. As much as I was dreading more snow, it is so beautiful at 5am & quiet & snowy. Also the acoustics of a snow storm are my fav!

Joanne Bland, one of the youngest people to march on “Bloody Sunday,” has died. She was 72. "By the time I was 11-years-old, I had been arrested at least 13 documented times”

Just found this photo of me reporting in New Bedford this summer, on scallops - or a scallop shucking contest, for an NPR story. This was BEFORE I got covered in scallop shells and ligaments, mouth, and more. WHO TOOK THIS PHOTO? I wish I knew.

Winter weather advisory & snow coming again?? Nooooooooooo

As Ramadan begins, traditional lanterns called fawanees brighten Cairo. They have become a symbol of Ramadan and are an almost-mandatory home decoration for the holy month in Egypt. n.pr/4tH7zxB

This is my boy, Sim, mid yawn. Also his feeling about 2026 in general.

Somedays, things just come together. I like these kind of days ⚡️🩷

Honored to be screening our short film, The Incredible Paulk, next month at the Bilbao Surf Film Festival in Bilbao Spain. See ya soon, Bilbao! 🩵🌊

Watching the @nba.com all star game on Telemundo, and it’s in Spanish. Which confirms I have a lot of learning left before heading to a Spanish speaking country next month 👀

At some supremely fresh sea urchin out of the shell. I feel ALIVE!

Secretary of State (Maine) Shenna Bellows just appeared at a rally in downtown Portland today.

It’s safe to say that I have a tamale guy in Maine. My go to…!

Woke up early this morning and it was still dark. I saw the most beautiful bright sliver of the moon in the sky. The moon, whatever shape, is such a good companion, isn’t it? 🌙

Only 1 in 1000 lobster babies survive? Per the article. This I didn’t know! 👀🦞🦞 www.pressherald.com?p=7585544&uu...
