This is a place where I share my ideas and my writing and put into practice my hopes for greater connection, critical thinking and clear expression amongst people who care about our world, our communities, and each other. Social and political issues, writing, language, fathers and fathering - these are some of the things you'll find here.
Pub post: the essay allows exploration and more inquiry, but the form's brevity disciplines. It requires economy and some precision.

I am a writer and a reader, and believe in the power of words and images to make a difference. I make a basic living helping other people's words look good, and need to express my ideas in my own words and images to keep sane. I am also a father: my two young sons are currently the joy and challenge of my life, and I'm loving it.
I usually mention various initiatives in the blog, but here are some regulars for easy reference:

What a brief and economical post! Perhaps leaving yourself more time to enjoy the pub?
It was a forced economy, parlance. Without a laptop and wifi, my liveblogging is done via email from my mobile phone, and it is very limited in the length of emails it can send and what gets published.
But it's an economy I'm increasingly enjoying - much like Twitter's 140 character maximum.
Less is more, etc.
But yes, I did enjoy the pub.
