Have you seen My Octopus Teacher, the 2020 Netflix Original documentary film?
Fantastic.
Seems to me they are the most amazing possible pet.

Happy November 2nd 🎈
I’m 65 years young today.
Give me ALL the pensions. 😀
Last year I was in Lisbon for 64.
For the 62nd I was in Nepal.
53rd was in Porto, Portugal.
I’m usually travelling the world on my birthday.
30 years ago I decided on my far-from-typical philosophy.
Life is short. Too short to waste working. Do what you want.
Financially my plan was to “retire” from age 33 to 65 — then go back to work full-time when I’m no good for anything else. At age-65. Today.
I can do that as a Gymnastics coach. There are plenty of elderly full-time Gymnastics coaches.
Sounded a brilliant plan. But I think I’ll put off un-retirement for a while longer.
Perhaps until I’m medically tied down.
All the best from Liverpool, England. I’m here for the World Gymnastics Championships.
What’s next? … I’m researching sunny European hiking destinations. Azores? Canary Islands?
Louis C.K. on “White Privilege”
Louis C.K is an asshole. If you’ve cancelled him, I don’t blame you.
I never followed the guy in the first place.
BUT nobody has explained White Privilege more succinctly:
“… I’m not saying that white people are better. I’m saying that being white is clearly better. Who could even argue? If it was an option, I would re-up every year. …” 😀
🙂 True? Kind? Necessary? 🙏
An important quote often ascribed to Socrates.
I admire those who can hold their tongue while running through this checklist.
ME?
I often check to see if something is true.
Much more rarely do I stop to ponder whether it’s kind. Or necessary.
… I’ll try to do better.
Walk the Beach at Dawn
For the two pandemic years I’ve been working out of my unheated garage world headquarters in Parksville, B.C., I’ve been heading down to the ocean almost evert day at dawn.
Sound boring?
Actually, every dawn has been different. The tides. The weather. The seasons. But I only once saw a bear.

Why Travel?
I took a gap year between High School and University.
SUPER happy I did.
It opened my eyes to the bigger world. Other cultures. Other ways of thinking.
Niklas Christl didn’t know what to do when he graduated High School. Here he documents what happened on his gap year — and how it changed his life.
