Taking the Weekend Off for Bumbershoot – Yeah!

  So I am going to give myself the weekend off from blogging… try hard not to miss me.  Smiles wide… This weekend we are headed out to Bumbershoot.  Bumbershoot is this really cool music and arts festival out in Seattle.  It is held in the area under the famous Space Needle, where the 1962 [...]

Road Trip Music

I’m getting old. I’m so behind on the times. My musical wanderings are not quite like they used to be. I try to listen to the radio and it seems a wasteland. The classic rock stations, seems to play the same songs over and over again, and perhaps it is just the dust setting on [...]

Discussion Notes August 26th – Buddhism Without Beliefs (Ch 1 – 4)

  Our first four chapters went rather quick.  This felt like the quickest discussion yet, although our tangents were quite different than usual.  Weirdos in attendance were: Dogen Coldstream, Renwick Tomsen, stevenaia Michinaga, Danaeah Ballinger and myself. [17:58] Danaeah Ballinger: Hi Dharma[17:58] Dharma Voyager: hey guys[17:58] Danaeah Ballinger: Hi Dogen[17:58] Dharma Voyager: and ladies[17:58] Dharma [...]

Skillful Means – Over Three Months Old

I looked at the date this morning, while drinking my cappuccino and munching on a few dried figs, and realized that this blog, Skillful Means, is now well over three months old. I figured I should be consistent and write up a small third month retrospective to go along with my blog-reviews of the first [...]

Day 16: The Home Stretch and Top 10 Best Things

If you have been reading this blog for the last couple weeks, you have been following our vacation saga. We sure did a lot. The easy ride of Day 15 didn’t go as planned, but all in all it was not a disappointment because it got us that much closer to home; in actuality, it [...]

Day 13, 14, and 15, Bliss, and 812 miles

I probably have one or two more posts about our adventure left in me. The last days had less some excitement, so I’ll lump them together end of day 13, 14 and 15 in this post, and write tomorrow about some of the lovely images of home we got on the last part of the  [...]

Day 12 & Day 13: Grand Teton and Jackson Hole Horseback Ride

It has only been a couple days of work and already I’m forgetting.  Day 13 of the vacation was really nice but it certainly would be difficult to beat Day 12 on any trip.  It was also reaching that time in the vacation where a part of you has started missing home.  I know my [...]
