GrassRoutes has gone north to Seattle, and I was overjoyed last night to receive a special box on my porch containing the very first GrassRoutes Seattle Guides, fresh off the press. I’m so happy about this book – I especially love the city of Seattle, home of my publisher Sasquatch Books – and home to [...]

Vancouver, Vancouver, Vancouver! What an incredible place. It is a city that’s close to my heart ever since I spent a year there studying and taking the gondola up Grouse Mountain a few times a week as a volunteer ski patroller. Ah the memories. If you’re headed to see the doubles luge, the curling, the [...]

A new focus at San Francisco’s Exploratorium – the space where science and kindness collide!

Now I’m happy to find out there will be a series [...]

Turns out there’s way more to the San Francisco Public Library than just books, even though that would be enough to occupy me. I was grateful for the humongous selection of books on tape back when I had Mono and lived around the corner from a branch. I’ve even been mesmerized by the video and [...]
