“Dad, the spouse and I both have meetings at nine, could you take the lead on child supervision? Play some legos, watch some YouTube, maybe describe the uses of some of your tools?”

“Sure!” my dad said. “YouTube or Legos, right?”

Fifteen minutes later I’m arguing a point of nonprofit law on the deck and I look over to see my child holding a propane torch and my dad carefully explaining which plants are weeds growing between pavers that the child can set on fire and which ones are there on purpose.

hikes are very good yes but a deluxe hike is when you are accompanied by a freak with niche nature knowledge. they’re like omg stop there’s a horned valerian varmint beetle here and then you both get to crouch down and look at a bug like :)

YES. I went hiking with a birder a few days ago and that was already really cool, but one of the other people coming along with us was an entomologist who brought his net and also his little Insect Holding Cell cups, and the onslaught of information about birds and insects and arachnids (and plants!) stopped for NO ONE.

do you have any advice?

eat a protein heavy breakfast. don’t shop on shein. it’s never too late to get more educated. tell people you love them. listen to birds. go to an old growth forest. get really good at something, just to see if you can.
