I’m in the Shenandoah Valley with my wife Tunga, our son Dalai, and our dog Bodhi — working from home and trying to live a simple life.
I’m spending my time on these things:
- Appreciating the love of my life, Tunga
- Having fun with our son Dalai and our dog Bodhi
- Writing a thousand words every morning — the best of it becomes my Saturday essay
- Handmaking this website, word by word
- Reading fun books to relax and live better
- Working on dreams day by day, with one theme for each year — 2026 is my Year of Creation
- Recording videos to help people live happier lives
- Losing weight thanks to this program
- Walking, loving, and playing

One essay a week, every Saturday morning.
