Another hailstorm today. And I don't know why weather patterns would follow local political boundaries, but this morning on my way to work as I crossed 145th, leaving Seattle city-proper, suddenly snow was on the ground and the roads were slushy. I rented a few episodes of Cosmos , the Carl Sagan docu-miniseries from almost 30 years ago. I remember loving it as a child. It was entrancing, inspiring, and even when it was a little tedious it was still great fun. Watching it now, decades later, I...

Alas, here it is in November, and despite claims, promises, and some efforts, I have managed to finish about 1/4...

Recreational sailing can be further divided into racing, cruising and day...
