My sci-fi debut, Breathless, is now available as an audiobook. Narrated by me!
The world has actually run out of oxygen in the past. I've extrapolated this scenario to the present day as humans continue to burn fossil fuels at unprecedented rates.

A sloth with sleepy eyes hanging upside down in an almond tree.
I had quite a mini adventure in Panama. Here is a lucky picture of a sloth, which in Spanish is called a "lazy". Story to come.

An old cheap razor.
I bought new razors for the first time in 20 years. Back then, I thought the apocalypse was happening. I was ahead of my time in that regard. I hate itchy beards, and I thought, "If the apocalypse is happening, I want to look good." Seriously thinking I need to buy 20 more years of supplies. Haha.
Two rain barrels resting on bricks. Connected to the downspout with EarthMinded kit.
I finished installing my new rain barrels minutes before it began raining. I was questioning if it would be worth it. We don't get much rain. Will it be worth the actual cost and the hidden environmental cost (manufacturing bricks, etc.)?

This is me and my neighbor, Billy Bob. Guess who I am!
I thought I'd reassure everyone...
...that my words, pictures and lessons learned are the result of hard-earned misadventures.
Perhaps not the most important article to be writing now, but I had to get this idea out of my head.

That first one reminds me of a tribble.
While you all may be thinking of turkey, I'm thinking of sending my bicycle to the moon — literally.

Some dramatic clouds yesterday during our hike to see the Stanford Dish. I'm trying to do one thing a week despite the traffic and money.
RIP Jane Goodall. When my website first started over 20 years ago, we wrote a story. And to this day, I feature her quote prominently:
If we keep our eyes and ears open, and think of every day as an adventure, then each day will give us a lesson.

Haha. Been there.
I searched my photos for "desk" needing a picture of my office. And this is what was recommended to me as "Most relevant".

I've just made some big upgrades to my online store. If you place an order, I'll throw in an extra book. I'm particularly interested to see if anyone can place an order using either Google Pay or Apple Pay. And just let me know if you are enjoying my site.

My bookshelf full of the books I've written and their awards.
I'm developing a nice showcase of books.
I've begun the sequel to Falling Uphill, which I anticipate will be my new best-seller.

Day 7 of my 30-day challenge of riding a bike to a different cafe every day. I don't want to go any more mainstream than this.

Day 1 of my 30-day challenge of riding a bike to a different cafe every day. This is Saint Frank's (San Francisco) Cafe in Menlo Park.
I recommend everyone see David Attenborough's new documentary, Ocean. It's full of astonishing cinematography and beautiful scenes, yet also filled with ugly and heartbreaking devastation.

After many failures, I have my first cauliflower. And in the middle of February!
Just in time to celebrate inauguration day. Our new worksheet: If I were President for a day. I think it's a great way to practice dreaming.
I took this picture of a clover today. If you look closely, maybe you'll be as surprised as me to learn they are filled with cheese coney hotdogs.
Ooh! I like my new Bluesky handle. @scottstoll.com
