Hegemony is probably the most important word whose meaning I can never remember. Maybe this time it will stick in my mind. The dominance of one group or individual over others.

This morning we went to Vedanta and pulled weeds with my friend P–the most interesting thing that happened was when we saw… Read More »

I love this wind.
We succeeded in folding the mattress in half, stuffing it into the Blazer, and taking it to the dump. The dump was kind of cool–smelly but cool. Also in the news, we went to the co-op for water. On the way home, Erik referred to the water jugs as our Aquatic Amigos, which made me… Read More »
