Yesterday drove down the coastal highway 1 to Santa Cruz and then up to visit friends in the hills above. Along the way we stopped at the Pigeon Point lighthouse to see a classic Pacific scene of cliffs, kelp, and pounding waves.

Portraits by Ross
Ross is so good at photography she even manages to get pictures I like of me.
Also note one of her contributions to my home – the cow carpet I’m standing on.
Woodstock School Memories: The Student Survival Kit
This was the first manual/user guide I ever wrote, a student handbook for Woodstock School, incorporating the school’s rules and policies, survival tips, a fill-in class schedule and diary pages. I wanted to make the rules easier to understand, and more accessible, by applying simpler, clearer language and a sense of humor. Apparently it worked. I heard from students who worked on revisions 20+ years later that my style was still the template for student handbooks at Woodstock.
Unfortunately, I haven’t figured out how to get the pages in order in this gallery.
The cartoon illustrations are mostly by my classmate, Jeet Singh.
