Good morning! Here is a view of the Chilean version of the Azul River which borders our farm in Futaleufú—not to be confused with the river of the same name across the border in El Bolsón, Argentina. Both Azul Rivers are beautiful, BTW, but this one flows into the mighty FU, so…. 😊❤️

Spring flowers in Valparaiso,
Chile. No city has shaped my professional, intellectual, & spiritual life more profoundly.

My son, Nico, at Mirador Pozòn de los Reyes high above Chile’s mighty Futaleufú. He will turn 24 next week and is scheduled to defend his thesis on his birthday. Assuming that goes well, he will be a Civil Industrial Engineer.

Here is an idea: This #Thanksgiving, let’s not give thanks to things that we “have.” Let’s give thanks to those things that we love.
Happy Thanksgiving

Good morning! I am, actually, in Valpo—not Patagonia—this week so feel free to send your Packers-Vikings content to Little Willie via Bluesky. He gets anxious on game days when I am not around.

Good morning! It’s the old “dusk reflecting on the pond” trick, from Chilean Patagonia. Wishing all of our American friends a relaxing “final weekend before you fight with all your relatives at Thanksgiving.”

Sometimes, when I am writing and fully present, a miracle happens. If you want to call that God, that is ok. Then my cursed mind, greedy & ambitious, says, “That is really good! You should send it to the New Yorker.” The moment has now been defiled. It is time to go for a walk & listen to the river.

Good morning Bluesky friends. Just a reminder: while Patagonia is indeed one of the world’s most beautiful places, it is also one of the world’s wildest places. Extreme weather all over the region the past few days. We join in mourning the loss of 5 tourists who perished at Torres del Paine.

“Arroyo Partido” in autumn & winter. This mountain stream originates at Cerro Chapelco, a ski area in San Martin de los Andes, Argentina. The stream splits in 2 at a rocky outcrop. The branch on the left flows 200km, into Chile, and the Pacific Ocean. The right branch flows 1200 km to the Atlantic.

Freyja & Lukka. When our first Icelandics arrived in Chile they quarantined 15 days with the National Agronomy Service (SAG). The vets at SAG were enamored. “Are all Icelandics like puppies?” Kind of. The foals are, also, like school kids. Here they are waiting for me to finish my coffee & play.

I am pleased to report that Gilbert, who was brutally attacked by a stray dog 7 months ago, is totally healed, feeling great, and openly lobbying to be the cover model for our 2026 calendar. You deserve it buddy!
