I have never been more excited about a sporting event. Not when my favorite teams made the World Series, Super Bowl, or NBA Championship. Not for March Madness or a title fight. It has everything I love about sports. The most important element is the sport itself. It is a great time to follow running. Every week has running events that matter. https://disappearingmoment.com/running-the-heros-journey-and-yin-running/ Mon, 07 Nov 2022 00:00:00 +0000 https://disappearingmoment.com/running-the-heros-journey-and-yin-running/ In 2020, for the first time, I tried the Hero’s Journey: 20 laps around a standard, 400-meter running track. Rather than running one lap after another without a break, you run a full 400-meter lap, then jog half way around the track (200 meters), then run another 400-meter lap, followed by jogging half way around — a pattern you follow until you’ve run 20 laps (the half laps that you jog don’t count toward the 20 laps of the Journey). https://disappearingmoment.com/lifting-weights/ Fri, 16 Sep 2022 00:00:00 +0000 https://disappearingmoment.com/lifting-weights/ Lifting weights and running are two of my favorite activities. When I do them in a way that is right for me, it increases my energy and focus. My preference is two or three times per week for each. I make it a high priority to avoid pain or injury. If I’m stiff or exhausted after a work out, I’ve done too much. If I train too hard, too often, or injure myself, I miss out on the pleasure of lifting and running while I recover. https://disappearingmoment.com/celebrity-interview/ Tue, 31 May 2022 00:00:00 +0000 https://disappearingmoment.com/celebrity-interview/ Interviewer: How did you decide to interview yourself? Subject: I saw that actor, director, and musician Donald Glover interviewed himself recently, and it reminded me of other times I’d seen people interview themselves. I think the first one I saw was William Hurt’s character in the Big Chill. The lead singer of the Talking Heads, David Byrne, does it as part of Jonathan Demme’s concert film, Stop Making Sense. In preparing for this interview, I learned that a lot of other famous people have done it, too, including Ingmar Bergman, Björk, Joyce Carol Oates, Philip Roth, Ntozake Shange, and Tennessee Williams. https://disappearingmoment.com/inclusion-rider/ Mon, 28 Feb 2022 00:00:00 +0000 https://disappearingmoment.com/inclusion-rider/ In 2014, Stacy L. Smith, introduced the “inclusion rider”. The idea is for movie stars to add inclusion clauses to their contracts, covering both cast and crew.1 Smith doesn’t expect representation to be a panacea. Nothing so simple would make widespread inclusion inevitable. Instead, inclusion riders are an initial goal. Start by increasing diversity among the people who make movies. With time, the types of movies that Hollywood makes might change. https://disappearingmoment.com/exposure-loss-jacqueline/ Sun, 12 Dec 2021 00:00:00 +0000 https://disappearingmoment.com/exposure-loss-jacqueline/ I was eating dinner by myself one night when I got an email from Rob: I’m almost certain I have told you this. Just in case I am wrong, the song Jacqueline by Sarah Jarosz has been my favorite song for a couple years now. I don’t know why. I don’t like any of her other songs even a little. I don’t think anyone I have said this to liked it much, because no one has ever told me, y’know, hey that was great, or whatever. https://disappearingmoment.com/advice-for-a-library-school-student/ Tue, 02 Feb 2021 00:00:00 +0000 https://disappearingmoment.com/advice-for-a-library-school-student/ A library school student recently asked, “If I were interested in being a public library director, what should I read and what should I know?” Here is a slightly modified version of my response: Every library director needs to understand EDISJ, and In the Library with the Lead Pipe remains the leader in our field when it comes to this profession-defining topic. Start with Fobazzi Ettarh on vocational awe and April Hathcock on diversity initiatives. https://disappearingmoment.com/resolutions-2021/ Mon, 18 Jan 2021 00:00:00 +0000 https://disappearingmoment.com/resolutions-2021/ I love New Year’s Resolutions. It seems to help if I create more of them than I am likely to achieve, and I find it useful to share them. Publish three articles, essays, white papers, or short stories Publish a monthly newsletter Develop a regular piano practice Finish 24 books, at least 12 by women and at least 8 by BIPOC authors Develop a habit of reading about and practicing statistics Celebrate family, friends, and colleagues with letters or cards on their birthdays Get coached in something Prepare food from a cook book recipe at least twice per month Complete 4 exercise challenges Get stronger while also losing enough weight that I stop snoring (at least most nights)
