The "now page" concept comes from an idea by Derek Sivers to have people communicate what they're focused on now at this point in their lives.

Words. What do they mean? Truth is easily twisted. Liars lie. And that’s how Portland is portrayed as “WAR RAVAGED”, in the words of dementia man, to send in the troops to Portland.
Well, f#$% those guys.

Books
Fluke • 2025 • Brian Klaas • (In progress) You’d thinking finding out everything is random and our smallest choices and actions can change everything would be scary and depressing, but in fact this book is interesting and though provoking and not at all depressing. That sounds like I’m just tolerating it, but I’m in fact enjoying it quite a bit. • Loved It!
To Say Nothing of the Dog • 2013 • Connie Willis • Book 3 of the Oxford Time Travel series. It’s funny and cute and compelling, even if I miss Mr. Dunworthy’s constant presence ala Doomsday Book. But Ned Henry and all the other characters make this a fun book that’s hard to put down. • Loved It!
Movies
The Equalizer 3 • 2023 • Antoine Fuqua • Sometimes you just want to watch crisp, effective killing of bad guys, and Denzel always delivers in spades. I particularly enjoyed watching Marco get stabbed with his own knife he was still holding. • Loved It!
Highest 2 Lowest • 2025 • Spike Lee • Denzel Washington is always great. This movie was ultimately more uplifting than I expected, and that’s ok. The world needs more of that. • Liked It
