Writer: science fiction and fantasy, personal finance, and Esperanto. Walking past the UofI’s solar farm. There’s a dearth of good walking routes from Winfield Village to Champaign and Urbana. A few weeks ago, I saw a pack of cross-country runners turn up a rather faint double-track on this side of the railroad, which alerted me to the fact that it’s possible to go that way. The track runs along the west side of what seems to be research crop fields for the University, although that bit of it may be an e...

Writer: science fiction and fantasy, personal finance, and Esperanto. Adjusting my morning routine, maybe. The natural movement people I follow continue to broaden my perspective on what constitutes natural movement. Fairly recently, in her podcast, Katy Bowman pointed out that dilating and contracting the pupil of your eye is a natural movement. From in-the-woods-at-night dark to full-sun-at-midday light and most especially everywhere in between. Taking such an early morning walk would be a change to my...

Writer: science fiction and fantasy, personal finance, and Esperanto. Walking on the beach. Lake Michigan isn’t great for swimming the water is still pretty cold even in August, it’s kind of polluted, it lacks the extra buoyancy that comes from the salt in ocean water, and there’s no coral. But if what you want is a beach, Lake Michigan has a great one. Eight years ago my brother. Convinced me to come to St. Croix for a family reunion sort of thing. We stayed at Cottages by the Sea. I loved walking in th...

It was also a shared activity with my brother, who was le...

They’re easy to apply to novels and feature-length films, but I found them hard to apply to short stories. In a situation,. With a problem,. The result ...

Esperanto | Philip Brewer
http://www.philipbrewer.net/category/esperanto
Writer: science fiction and fantasy, personal finance, and Esperanto. Playing on the slackline. Most nice days there are some folks on the quad with a slackline a strip of nylon webbing perhaps an inch wide pulled fairly tight between two trees. You if you’ve got pretty good balance can walk the line from one tree to the other. Today for the first time, I gave it a try. I did, however, learn a lot. To attend my Esperanto meeting, I’ll be wandering through the quad most Saturday afternoons all sprin...
