I spent 5 wonderful years in the Twin Cities. I visit annually. I went to grad school at UM, bought my first home on Harriet Ave, & I was discovered as a poet there. Renee Good was a talented poet in the same writing scene that embraced me. No words. Your timeline cleanse from Chilean Patagonia.

From now on when friends from abroad ask me about the quality of life in Patagonia I will tell them how our son’s girlfriend’s mother gifted us an homage to La Trochita—The Old Patagonian Express—made of cookies 😀😀😀.

Good morning! Yesterday my son, Nico, successfully defended his thesis and is now an engineer. Here we are celebrating with dinner overlooking Valparaíso & Viña del Mar. What a day. Back to Patagonia tomorrow.

It appears the idea is to pursue the Maduro capture as a law enforcement issue to sidestep the illegal act of war. But 5000 of our best lawyers have been purged from the DOJ. What’s left? Unqualified flunkies whose flawed indictments have been quashed by judges. What happens if the indictment fails?

Wag the dog 🥲🥲🥲🥲

Hi everybody! As we get ready to celebrate the new year tonight, here is a view of a few months from our farm calendar for 2026. Enjoy!

Good morning friends! While lupines are ubiquitous signs of spring & summer in both Chilean & Argentinian Patagonia, I find the color palette gets more interesting the farther south you go. These beauties literally line the streets of Punta Arenas.

33 years ago today I stepped off the plane into Chile for the first time. What a beautiful ride it has been! Thank you Chile, for everything ❤️. 1) Pasaje Fischer Valpo, yesterday 2) Cemetery 1 Valpo, 2018 for Costa Magazine 3) 2001 inauguration of our Cerro Bellavista renovation project.

Yours truly at Violeta Parra stairway, Pasaje Galvez, Valparaíso this afternoon. Photo by my daughter, Elyse. If you look at my shirt you will see our alpaca, Gilbert. I saved Gilbert from a brutal dog attack earlier in the year so my niece put his image on this shirt & gave it to me for Christmas ❤️

They never complain about my limited set list or my 3-note vocal range. That is why, when I am feeling sad, I play for my horses.

Infinite sadness today in so many levels.

Good morning! Our gang celebrated the Packers victory over the Bears Sunday by getting their annual hair cuts. They don’t love the process, obviously, but they do enjoy not having to wear a 10-12 pound wool coat in the (increasingly hot) Patagonian summer.

Good morning! Here is a view of the Chilean version of the Azul River which borders our farm in Futaleufú—not to be confused with the river of the same name across the border in El Bolsón, Argentina. Both Azul Rivers are beautiful, BTW, but this one flows into the mighty FU, so…. 😊❤️

Congrats to Eliza & Little Willie. The new baby is gorgeous and 100% all daddy.

Spring flowers in Valparaiso, Chile. No city has shaped my professional, intellectual, & spiritual life more profoundly.

My son, Nico, at Mirador Pozòn de los Reyes high above Chile’s mighty Futaleufú. He will turn 24 next week and is scheduled to defend his thesis on his birthday. Assuming that goes well, he will be a Civil Industrial Engineer.

Here is an idea: This #Thanksgiving, let’s not give thanks to things that we “have.” Let’s give thanks to those things that we love. Happy Thanksgiving

Good morning! I am, actually, in Valpo—not Patagonia—this week so feel free to send your Packers-Vikings content to Little Willie via Bluesky. He gets anxious on game days when I am not around.

Good morning! It’s the old “dusk reflecting on the pond” trick, from Chilean Patagonia. Wishing all of our American friends a relaxing “final weekend before you fight with all your relatives at Thanksgiving.”

Sometimes, when I am writing and fully present, a miracle happens. If you want to call that God, that is ok. Then my cursed mind, greedy & ambitious, says, “That is really good! You should send it to the New Yorker.” The moment has now been defiled. It is time to go for a walk & listen to the river.

Good morning Bluesky friends. Just a reminder: while Patagonia is indeed one of the world’s most beautiful places, it is also one of the world’s wildest places. Extreme weather all over the region the past few days. We join in mourning the loss of 5 tourists who perished at Torres del Paine.

“Arroyo Partido” in autumn & winter. This mountain stream originates at Cerro Chapelco, a ski area in San Martin de los Andes, Argentina. The stream splits in 2 at a rocky outcrop. The branch on the left flows 200km, into Chile, and the Pacific Ocean. The right branch flows 1200 km to the Atlantic.

Good morning! Ori & Baldur, our 2 Icelandic stallions, are out there working off some of the stress after a tense Packers victory yesterday.

Freyja & Lukka. When our first Icelandics arrived in Chile they quarantined 15 days with the National Agronomy Service (SAG). The vets at SAG were enamored. “Are all Icelandics like puppies?” Kind of. The foals are, also, like school kids. Here they are waiting for me to finish my coffee & play.
