Lost & Found in the 21st century
This is a digital wild goose chase, not a Thanksgiving recipe. Not an exercise. Just a wild story. Seems unbelievable, so you're excused if you don't believe it. But it's totally true.
Slower Sunday: I knew it’d come to this
Clear blue sky where all the leaves were. Just last week, if you wanted color, you looked up. Today, look down. But there is a cool thing you can do with them when it comes down it. You probably haven't done this for a while. Just Press Play for the video refresher course.
Slower Sunday: Sun’s up
Hey - did you see the sun rise? No? OK, here's a second chance. Just Press Play. C'mon. You just got a whole extra hour. Take three minutes to settle into slow motion. A little practice now so you can do it all day long.
Slower Sunday: Under the Boardwalk
It's a little spooky down here, but it's cool. You feel like you're in some surfer version of the underworld. Thirty feet up there, thousands of people. Down here, not a soul. Just the timbers holding up the old pier. Take a minute in a slow, cool place. Just Press Play and drift. Just for a minute.n
Slower Sunday: 90 seconds at 25,000 feet
Think about climbing to the top of one of those. That ought to slow you down. Yeah, you really had to be there, in Nepal. But take a little break right now, just 90 seconds to look at something spectacularly beautiful. It's Sunday. Just Press Play.
Slower Sunday: One step at a time
A couple of days of walking and eating your way through Beijing - the constant noise and perpetual motion really get to you. So you drive three hours to the Great Wall, the "Wild Wall" part at Simatai, and what gets you is . . . tranquility. Press Play. Have a tranquil Sunday.
Slower Sunday: The Slow Boat
I took The Walk That Ate Venice. Six hours, twelve miles, saw it all. Took the streets, the piazzas, up and down the ancient stairs. Really cool stairs. But now it's Sunday. Take the Slow boat. A two-minute vacation in a different time and place. Just Press Play.

Slower Sunday Colors
The leaves are starting to show those washed out, late summer army camouflage colors. Better washed out than fallen, I guess. But not as good as bright and colorful. Press Play. Slow Forward to a brilliant start for a Sunday.
Slower Sunday: Naturalize
I love my tulips and daffodils. And I'm always relieved and delighted when the first crocuses and grape hyacinths pop up, sometimes in the snow. But the irises, they're really fascinating. So many little details in each flower. I can just sit and stare. So press Play and stare for a minute. It's Sunday. Make believe.
