RegularNut and BigNut are meeting middle age with a curious mixture of
disinterested ennui and an increasing awareness of the approaching reality check with mortality.

What is it that keeps us alive and interested in life?

First, there is LittleNut, who spends her time growing, “beautifying”, and “hangin’”. She is maturing and changing so rapidly that what she loves today is often very different from her passion of tomorrow. We marvel at how our family is modulated by the hormones that a teenager seems to swim in.

We love the world of thoughts. The book-shaped window to the rest of the world has been given a tremendous boost by the Internet, but the deliberate thoughtful physicality of a book is hard to replace with the inherent tenuous, ephemeral shallowness of the web. On the other hand, it is through the Internet that we met each other, and where we have much of our discourse with others.

Making things is a passion we all share. There is little that matches the sense of accomplishment when one holds something made from raw materials by one’s own labour and intent.

Flying is one thing we never tire of, nor perfect, yet it brings us solid moments of achievement unmatched by anything else. We fly a small 4 seater aircraft that brings us more joy than we ever imagined.

Food, well, because GOOD food is so simple, yet hard to find.

And love. Always love. The alpha and omega is love.
