I want to tell you that I really enjoyed the (Spring 2012) LIV FUN magazine. Thank you.
I am the daughter of one of the residents @ Washington Oakes in Everett. Just wanted to compliment you on your Spring 2012 issue of LIV FUN. Have read it cover to cover and even sent one of the articles on Sennin-So Shiatsu to my daughter. Nice work … found it to be so informative and relevant. Keep up the good work!
I had gotten away from touch as I became a more seasoned nurse. Partly because of the risk inherent with a possible misunderstanding as to what I was doing. Nonsexual touch is such an important part of nursing, I have started to do more of it again. I know the therapeutic value of it from an experience at IU Hospital in Indianapolis, IN, where I worked in the early 1990s. That was a time that AIDS was killing many, and the drugs were not yet discovered. I had come to terms with my own insecurities, and with the support and trust of my wife I used touch on a young man who was to die later. I entered the room and asked for his hand and held it in mine and just lingered with it there. I could feel my energy flow into him! I then understood how Jesus must have felt when he exclaimed that very thing when the sick women touched his clothes and He said that virtue had went out of him. It was a remarkable sensation, unlike that I had ever noticed feeling. He felt it too and glowed from his pallor grey skin to pink. I asked him with tears in my eyes how long it had been since he had been touched by someone. He tearfully told me that it had been too long ago to remember, but was after he had been diagnosed with HIV. I put the backs of my fingers on his cheeks and wiped the tears from his eyes. I told him that I was so sorry for him to be treated so. He died a few days later. He did so with me holding him, cradled in my arms and glowing as he had the day I touched his heart and he touched mine. You may share this if you would like.
Thanks for the articles on forgiveness. I needed to do some work in that area where I was stuck on a particularly challenging situation. The ideas in the article really helped me move forward and clear some things up.
I spoke with my mom and she does get this magazine and really thinks the writing is very good. Unlike a lot of magazines that show up in her mailbox, she actually reads this one!! Nice work!
I'm a relatively new resident at The Carillon in Boulder, Colorado. I've just had the pleasure of reading the autumn issue of Livfun ("Forgiveness") and found it to be most interesting and provocative. Thank you for your efforts. I look forward to the next issue.

Bioscience and health care industries expand and add jobs in Phoenix
By[email protected]_84
Sep 13, 2020 Add, Bioscience, Care, Expand, Health, Industries, Jobs, Phoenix
Phoenix recovered more slowly than the rest of the nation after the Great Recession, taking years to recoup lost jobs.
But this time around, the region might see faster recovery from the COVID-19 recession.
One big reason is the city's changing economic landscape, which has begun to rely less on construction and focus increasingly on sectors like health care and bioscience.
Those industries are more resilient in the face of economic changes, said Christine Mackay, community and economic development director for the city of Phoenix. She said the city has seen significant growth in health care and bioscience over the past few years.
"Coming out of the Great Recession, construction has not been the leading jobs creator," she said. "It's been health care and biosciences."
Between July 2019 and July 2021, Mackay said the city will see $3.5 billion in new capital investment in those two industries, which is expected to result in an estimated 7,000 new jobs and 4.4 million square feet of new building expansions.
Mackay said the average salary for these new jobs is expected to be around $70,000.
"It puts us in a much better a much better position for economic recovery," Mackay said. "Health care and biosciences are as recession-proof as they can be. People always need health care … technology is always moving forward."
Rather than reduced funding, Mackay said the opposite is especially true for these industries during a pandemic, since bioscience solutions and health care services are urgently needed during the world health crisis. As a result, these industries have not been as badly hit.
In February, before the pandemic, the Phoenix-Mesa-Chandler metro area had 44,700 jobs in the bioscience sector, according to data from the city's community and economic development department. In April, the industry sector saw job growth instead of job loss. By July, which is the latest data available, there were 46,200 jobs in this sector.
The bioscience health care sector was slightly more affected by the pandemic, due to decreases in elective surgery and nonessential health care services, according to Mackay. In February, the Phoenix-Mesa-Chandler metro area had 335,300 jobs in this sector, and by July the sector had about 318,200 jobs, according to the Phoenix community and economic development data.
To competitively recruit new companies to the area, the city offers economic incentives through an Arizona Competes Fund, which offers up to $9,000 in tax credits to businesses for each new job created. Other tax credits offered under this fund include credits for increasing research and development activities or for the creation of qualified manufacturing facilities.
Some of the biggest new expansions in the city include new hospitals, such as Mayo Clinic's 1.6 million square foot, state-of-the-art hospital under construction. Other expansions include plans for an innovation center downtown to host researchers and new science or health care startups.
The downtown innovation center is being built by real estate company Wexford Science & Innovation, in partnership with Arizona State University. Here's what those plans look like:
The idea is to create a center for different researchers, students and business entrepreneurs in the science field to mix together, according to Wexford's vice president Thomas Osha.
"They can bump into new entrepreneurs, they can learn about new ideas, or they can just find talent," he said.
The building is expected to be complete this fall. Osha said he expects the space to attract new companies to Phoenix and said Wexford is in discussion to build another four or five more buildings in the area to create an innovation district in Phoenix.
Rick Naimark, ASU's associate vice president of program development and planning, said the university is excited to be co-located with other bioscience and health care organizations. Through its partnership with Mayo, ASU expects to grow its research footprint in downtown Phoenix.

Rick Naimark, ASU associate vice president
The goal is to find practical solutions to make a better world. Local research tends to benefit local areas first.
In addition to hosting research labs, ASU's Health Futures center will be home to an incubator for early-stage health care technology companies, which Naimark said could help improve health care in the Phoenix area.
"The goal is to find practical solutions to make a better world," Naimark said. "Local research tends to benefit local areas first."
Some ASU research may even lead to new business startups, which is where the Center for Entrepreneurial Innovation comes in.
As a business incubator, the center has helped launch about 60 companies over the past five years, creating 677 new jobs. Companies launched at the center are often cutting-edge and have competed in international bioscience competitions.
To further help new companies, said executive director Thomas Schumann, the center plans to launch a validation lab inside the Wexford Building, which will work with bioscience and health care companies that are still in the conceptual, early stages of development.
"We're helping them figure out if the product will succeed in the market and how to succeed in market," Schumann said.
The center also plans to launch hands-on training programs for scientists and entry level lab technicians inside the expanded space.
Another expansion expected to increase the amount of new science research and innovation in Arizona is Mayo Clinic's new hospital.
Gray expects Mayo Clinic to expand its research in areas like cancer treatment, heart disease, personalized genetic treatments, immunology and transplants.
"The intention of this is to greatly enhance the impact that our Arizona site can have in terms of research and innovation," Gray said.
Mayo's new hospital will generate about $2 billion in economic output for the city, according to Gray. He attributes that to added jobs, tax revenue and the expectation of out-of-state patients visiting Arizona to receive care or participate in clinical studies.
The hospital is expected to open in phases through 2022 and 2023.
Though Mayo Clinic's new hospital and Wexford's downtown innovation center are expected to have the most impact on new science research in Arizona, other expansions will help increase Phoenix's health care and science capabilities.
The Arizona Republic has spoken to some organizations that have either completed expansions or are currently undergoing expansions. Here are some of the bigger expansions happening throughout the city:
Location of expansion: 3100 N. Central Ave.
Creighton University is a private Jesuit university and is building a 183,000 square foot Health Sciences campus, which is expected to educate new health care professionals and add 258 new jobs.
This campus will host 96 students for an accelerated nursing program, 20 students for a physician's assistant program, about 300 health professional students for occupational therapy, physical therapy and pharmacy. It will also feature a new four-year medical school that will enroll 480 students.
Daniel Hendrickson, Creighton University president
We're creating this possibility that health care professionals would come to learn and work and stay in Phoenix.
Creighton's president, Daniel Hendrickson, says the state lags behind others in terms of the size of its health care workforce, especially for physicians.
"We're creating this possibility that health care professionals would come to learn and work and stay in Phoenix," he said.
These students are also expected to collaborate with other organizations in the area to conduct research that aims to advance the medical field.
Hendrickson said the campus is expected to fill 258 new jobs to support the new campus and over the next 10 years, and generate $12 million in tax revenue for the city and $304 million in total economic output.
The campus cost a total of $100 million to build, and the university received a $2 million grant for the expansion from Maricopa County's Industrial Development Authority.
The campus is expected to be complete by August 2021.
Caris Life Sciences
Locations of expansions: 4610 S. 44th Place, 4415 Cotton Center Blvd. and 350 W. Washington St., Tempe
Caris Life Sciences focuses on personalized cancer treatment, and offers genetic analysis of cancer tumors.
The goal is to help doctors figure out the best treatments for each patient, according to David Spetzler, the company's chief scientific officer. But Spetzler said this type of treatment is still in the early stages, so there's still some unknowns about how genetic data about cancer could be useful.
"There is immense excitement about how much we can learn about cancer with this information," Spetzler said.
As the field of personalized cancer treatment grows, so does the company. Its main building at 4610 S. 44th Place expanded by an additional 20,000 square feet in July, and the company also recently opened an additional 64,000 square feet of new laboratory spaces at a second building in Tempe.
The company plans to keep expanding, and hopes to begin doing liquid biopsies, which would allow doctors to detect and track cancer over time to see how patients respond to treatment. To do those procedures, the company plans to open another lab at 4415 Cotton Center Blvd in Phoenix, which will be roughly 34,000 square feet and is expecting to open in early 2021.
The company currently has 785 employees and is hiring 400 more.
Location of expansion: 445 N. 5th St.
Exact Sciences is an early cancer detection company constructing a 14,000 square foot building that is expected to add 50 or more new jobs.
The company already provides cutting edge early-detection colorectal cancer screening, which uses genetic analysis of stool samples, but hopes to offer genetic-based early-detection screening for other types of cancer as well, according to vice president of marketing David Mallery.
"We are growing genomics based medicine. … That's clearly where a large part of the field is going," he said.
In addition to analyzing patients' DNA, the company also analyzes the genetic information of patients' cancer cells, which can be used to create personalized treatment plans.
Exact Sciences plans to take over existing space at the Translational Genomics Research Institute's downtown building. The space is currently used by ASU but will be vacated when ASU relocates into the new Wexford building.
HonorHealth
Location of expansion: 33423 N. 32nd Ave.
Honor Health is constructing a new 210,000 square foot hospital, which is expected to add at least 100 new jobs.
Honor Health's newest hospital expansion will feature 24-hour emergency care, operating rooms for surgeries and 70 hospital beds. This hospital, named the Sonoran Crossing Medical Center, is expected to open in the fall of 2020 and will have room to continue adding more hospital beds, according to Preston Allred, HonorHealth's director of operations.
HonorHealth also plans to open a new neuroscience institute in the spring, adjacent to its current Osborn Medical Center in Scottsdale. This institute will be a 120,000 square feet expansion featuring a lab for hands on medical training.
Senestech
Location of expansion: 23460 N. 19th Ave., Suite 110
Senestech is a rodent control company, which is relocating its headquarters to a 5,500 square foot space in Phoenix and expects to add five to 10 new jobs.
Senestech sells a nonlethal reversible rat birth control, which it markets as a form of pest control. The rat birth control product, called ContraPest, is a liquid substance that tastes good to rats, but within 24 hours of ingestion, affects fertility in both male and female rats.
The company was originally based in Flagstaff, but relocated to a space with room to grow. The company plans to expand and move its manufacturing facility to Phoenix as well, which should add more manufacturing jobs in the area, according to Tom Chesterman, Senestech's chief financial officer.
The company moved into its new Phoenix location in August.
VA Health Care System
Location of expansion: 400 N. 32nd St.
The VA Health Care System is constructing a 203,000 square foot facility to provide medical services to veterans. The facility is expected to add about 180 new jobs.
Growing numbers of veterans are moving to Phoenix, and the veterans administration health care system is working to provide care for a growing number of patients, according to David Charnetsky, the health care system's facility planner. This expansion will address growing demand by servicing an additional 60,000 veteran patients, he said.
The facility will also be affiliated with the University of Arizona and other medical associations to conduct clinical research in the hopes of making medical advancements. The facility is expected to be complete in the fall of 2021 and will start treating patients in the spring of 2022.
Valleywise Health
Location of expansion: 2601 E. Roosevelt St.
Valleywise Health is building a brand new 785,000 square foot hospital with updated facilities.
The hospital will have more modern, updated technology and will have expanded ICU and critical care capacity, according to Valleywise communications director Michael Murphy.
"This will give clinicians the tools needed to be on the cutting edge of care and effectively treat patients," he said.
Construction began in spring 2019 and the new hospital expected to be completed in the fall of 2023.
Sonora Quest
Location of expansion: 424 S. 56th St.
Sonora Quest offers lab testing to diagnose health conditions, and hopes to become more efficient at delivering test results now that it has consolidated operations into one 250,000 square foot building. The company has already added 150 new jobs for the expansion.
The company's laboratory team had worked in two separate buildings, but the expansion will place the laboratory team in one building to increase efficiency. The new building will also be equipped with new technology that the company says would result in quicker test results.
Sonora Quest is one of the state's major providers of COVID-19 tests, but has experienced backlogs in testing.
This expansion aims to help Sonora Quest better meet customer demand, according to its communications manager, Havona Horsefield.
The building that Sonora Quest is moving into was built over 20 years ago, but was renovated for the expansion to accommodate the laboratories. Renovations were completed in June 2020 and the location is now up and running.
Location of expansion: 350 W. Thomas Road
Dignity Health's Barrow Neurological institute is constructing a new 130,050 square foot neuroscience facility that will be used to treat neurological conditions like stroke or brain cancer.
The center aims to advance the field of neurological medicine through research and will include 30,000 square feet of research space, according to Michael Lawton, Barrow's president & CEO.
Lawton said the expansion is expected to be completed in late 2020.
Reunion rehabilitation hospital
Location of expansion: 1675 E. Villa St.
Nobis Rehab Partners currently operates several rehabilitation hospitals in the U.S. and is building a new 51,850 square foot rehabilitation hospital in Phoenix. It expects to add 150 new jobs at the location.
This hospital will provide rehabilitative care for people with debilitating conditions such as stroke or brain injury and will accommodate a total of 48 beds.
For its 150 expected new positions, the hospital will hire across a range of specialties, including nurses, physical therapists and occupational therapists.
The hospital is expected to open around the fall of 2021.

Q: "Who I really am" VS. "who I am really"? If I said

*

*Do you know who I really am?

Could we move "really" after am to go like:

*

*Do you know who I am really?

Is the inversion happened in the second sentence acceptable?

A: It is acceptable, but the meaning would be different. In the first sentence, you're saying something to this effect:

Do you know who in fact I am? Do you realize who I am? Do you understand that I'm the boss here. I could get you fired in the blink of an eye.

In the second sentence, you actually need a comma before really. Here's how I would interpret it:

Do you know who I am, really? Really, do you know that? Oh my gosh, I can't believe that. Are you for real? How do you know that?

It is very difficult to explain the difference between these two usages of really in writing. This is something you need to hear. And a lot actually depends on how one says it.

[Guest Post] Major Issues Canadians Face when trying to Invest in Crypto
Tag: Assets, Balancing act, Banking support, Blockchain, Canada, Canadians, Crypto, Cryptocurrency, Educational resources, Exchanges, Invest, investors, Knowledge, Major hurdles, Major issues, Myopic, Outlook, Regulations
by Justin Hartzman
Canada is emerging as a leader in the world of cryptocurrency. With crypto exchanges popping up in each major city, it is undeniable that Canadians are starting to embrace this new technology. However, there are two major hurdles facing interested investors when it comes to crypto: 1) the ongoing need for regulations and banking support, and 2) a serious lack of knowledge or access to educational resources.
The Regulatory Balancing Act
The Government of Canada, along with several key provinces, has been largely supportive of the crypto industry. This is a major reason why Canadian cryptocurrency ventures have been growing so rapidly. With the plan to follow other leading countries like Switzerland and Malta, financial authorities across Canada have promised to implement strict regulations to render more stability and trust in the market. However, passing regulations has proven to be quite the balancing act with all the powerful banking institutions on one side and the fear of missing out on this technological advancement on the other.
In fact, cryptocurrency has a transformational capacity. It has a tremendous and largely untapped potential to change all kinds of major operations in key ways. Crypto assets are traded over a special type of network called blockchain. Essentially, a blockchain network allows two or more parties to securely trade digital assets or information with each other without the need of a middleman. The implications of this are huge. Imagine being able to trade a rare digital good with anyone anywhere. This could include things like the digital keys to a car or a house to the distribution rights of music or a piece of art. Blockchain technology can make all of these transactions simpler, less time consuming, cheaper for everyone, and much more secure.
The decentralized nature of this technology, where middlemen like banks are no longer needed, stands out like an elephant in the room as far as regulation is concerned. Canadian regulators are struggling to implement rules to fight fraud without significantly hindering the creative potential of this technology. Regulators like the North American Securities Administrators Association (NASAA) and Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) have respectively launched efforts in the past year to cleanse the crypto space of fraud attempts, and classify ICO tokens as securities. Even the Government of Canada planned to implement regulatory standards for crypto business in the Fall of 2018. However, due to a wide range of submissions claiming the standards are too strict for crypto to thrive, the plan has been delayed to 2019. The earliest this can go into effect is 2020.
Ultimately, the problem with delaying regulatory oversight regarding securities classification, taxation and fraud is that the market becomes more uncertain and volatile from an investment perspective, further hindering mass adoption. This environment acts as a negative feedback loop. Cryptocurrency companies are unable to build trust with banks or insurers, which continues to make the market more uncertain. Even investors who are curious about crypto may be hesitant to dive in until this space become more predictable.
Overcoming a Myopic Outlook
Another major hurdle that investors have to overcome when it comes to crypto is lack of knowledge and educational resources. Considering that Canada's rapidly growing financial sector was ranked as the fourth highest contributor to GDP in 2017, it is important to realize that Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal are banking cities, not tech capitals. This directly influences how investors learn about cryptocurrencies and their potential uses. Looking at blockchain technology solely from a financial perspective is like buying a smartphone just to make phone calls.
From the kind of regulatory oversight being suggested by authorities to petty disputes between banks and exchanges, the conversation around crypto for the average Canadian investor hardly leaves the realm of finance. Resulting in a constant focus on market price and volatility rather than the quality of projects being launched or the fundamentals behind it. This is an extremely myopic perspective of a transformational technology.
In addition to taking a narrow focus on the technology, there is a major gap in the availability of credible educational resources. As with many new technologies, crypto and blockchain come with their own language and foundational principles, that are not easily comprehensible to everyone. Fortunately, major online educators like Lynda.com and Udemy are starting to offer workshops to provide hands on experience to crypto curious students, but there's still a long road ahead to providing comprehensive learning tools and support for this ever evolving technology.
In the premature stages of cryptocurrency, it can be easy to ring the warning bells of a scam without doing more research. While not as common as mainstream media would like you to believe, it is possible to use this technology for nefarious purposes, which is why regulatory oversight is so crucial to stabilize markets, build trust for investors, and lead to the establishment of a credible cryptocurrency ecosystem.

How to treat salmonella
It might not be as deadly as you think

You often hear of foods being recalled for salmonella contamination but may not exactly know what salmonella is — just that it's bad. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, salmonella is a bacteria that is often found in raw fish, eggs, chicken, meat and veggies. When a person consumes food that is infected with the bacteria, they develop a salmonella infection which, according to the Mayo Clinic, affects the intestinal tract and can cause fever, abdominal cramps and diarrhea. Although most people recover within a few days, others can develop severe dehydration and life-threatening complications if the infection spreads past the intestines.With so many products being recalled because of salmonella contamination, like Trader Joe's recent cantaloupe recall, it's important to know what happens — and what to do — if you consume a product that has been contaminated with salmonella. Here's everything you need to know about salmonella infections, from causes to the treatments. What causes a salmonella infection?The main cause of a salmonella infection is the consumption of food that has been contaminated with feces, according to the Mayo Clinic. Some of the most commonly infected foods include raw meat, raw chicken, raw seafood, raw eggs, fruits and vegetables. The spread of salmonella can also occur when people don't wash their hands properly after using the bathroom. This is why, aside from proper hygiene, restaurants urge their employees and customers to properly wash their hands every time they visit the bathroom. According to the Mayo Clinic, people who have traveled internationally to countries with poor sanitation or who own birds and reptiles, have a higher risk of being infected with salmonella. What are the symptoms of a salmonella infection? According to the CDC, most people who have been infected with salmonella can experience diarrhea, fever and abdominal cramps. Salmonella can also cause nausea and vomiting, which can last anywhere between four to seven days. Most people, however, don't show any symptoms, as reported by the Mayo Clinic. In some rare cases, people can experience intense dehydration as well as life-threatening complications if the infection spreads. Who is more prone to a salmonella infection?Anyone can get infected with salmonella. However, children, adults older than 65 years of age and people with weakened immune systems may suffer more severe symptoms. How is a salmonella infection treated?There is no medication needed to treat a salmonella infection unless it has spread. The main course of treatment is to replace the fluids lost. How do you avoid a salmonella infection?You should always be cautious of eating anything raw, especially eggs. One way to avoid contamination is to always wash your hands after using the bathroom and before preparing or consuming food. Another way is to keep raw meats, chicken and seafood away from the other foods in your fridge and while preparing them. The Mayo Clinic even recommends using separate cutting boards for your raw meats and for your fruits and vegetables and to wash your cutting knives between foods.

Great Lakes Avengers: Being Big Bertha
Zac Gorman has his say on the GLA member!
by JK Parkin
In GREAT LAKES AVENGERS #6—due out March 15—Big Bertha steps out on her own to face Dr. Nod and the Bod Squad, a group of villains who want to use her to sell weight loss supplements.
With this issue serving up a rare Big Bertha solo tale, we spoke with writer Zac Gorman about the character and her role on the team.
Marvel.com: Zac, how do you view Big Bertha's role within the Great Lakes Avengers?
Zac Gorman: I think Big Bertha is probably the actual best choice for the leader of the Great Lakes Avengers. She's the most capable and confident member of the team.
Marvel.com: Usually when we see Big Bertha, it's within the context of the bigger team, but it sounds like in issue #6 you get to shine a spotlight on her. What can we expect from her, in terms of this solo outing?
Zac Gorman: Bertha has been a little one-dimensional in the past, but that always seemed like a shame to me. She's the only member of the team with a real job outside of fighting crime and saving the world; she's also a model. In our book, she's a plus-sized model. She's sort of merged her hero persona with her civilian one. She even changed her name. She's found a balance that works for her. I think that's cool.
Marvel.com: What can you tell us about Dr. Nod and the Bod Squad? What makes them the perfect enemies for Big Bertha to face?
Zac Gorman: Dr. Nod and the Bod Squad are sort of your modern snake oil salesman turned up to 11. In a sense they're sort of a funhouse mirror version of Bertha. They're really meant to illustrate the dark side of this body-obsessed, diet supplement industry that would have you risk your health to conform to a certain body type.
Marvel.com: Finally, like you said, Big Bertha's always seemed like the GLA member who had the most going for her outside of the team, in terms of her modeling career. What do you think keeps her from leaving to pursue it?
Zac Gorman: The Bertha in our story has taken a path that feels more true to herself in becoming a plus-sized model, but there are challenges associated with that that she didn't face before. Her decision cost her some of the clients that she had before, but it also gained some new ones. In a way, I think her decision to take her career in a new direction also involved some starting over. Sometimes that's just the price you pay for doing what you really want.
Join Big Bertha's adventures next week in GREAT LAKES AVENGERS #5, and then on March 15 with GREAT LAKES AVENGERS #6!


Back when I lived in the Interior, I did not relate to survivalist values. Adventure did not call to me as a 12-year-old, the year my family spent in Takotna, a village of fewer than 50 people.
There was no amplified thrill to living in a cabin with a dirt floor on the side of a mountain inhabited by brown bears. I read books in the school library and dreaded the cold walk we were forced to take to swish fluoride at the village clinic.
I often wonder if I had grown up in a family that hunted and fished if I would have enjoyed the time we spent in a remote cabin. Instead of writing relatives that I was held hostage against my will, I might have bothered to marvel at the northern lights blinking across the night sky and listen to the haunting howl of wolves.
This January, the snow and the weather delayed any thought of taking the dogs ptarmigan hunting in the mountains. In addition to avalanche danger, the snow had not settled enough to allow them to spend hours above tree line in search of birds.
Steve prefers Type II fun — the kind of fun that is miserable while experienced but fun as an idea and in retrospect. On the scale of fun, Type I is a sunny day on the beach and Type III is a failed polar expedition.
Type II is the middle way of fun cherished by those who enjoy the result of hard physical work, food that tastes good because you are starving, and a plywood floor that feels comfortable to rest upon because you are exhausted.
Those who have experienced it are reluctant to recommend eating contaminated food or sleeping on the mud-soaked floor of a shack, but they cherish the memory of hardship.
I went back to the house and booked two plane tickets to where Hawaiian cowboys, known as the paniolo, have been working cattle and horses since the early 1800s. Then I arranged for us to take an open-range horseback ride and found a spearfishing outfit that targeted invasive fish.
I did not feel at all guilty roping Steve into an adventure. He was the one who introduced me to the oxymoronic joy of misery when he invited me on my first duck hunt so many years ago. At the time, my only interest in the outdoors was fair-weather activities. The cold, wet duck flats revealed an endless labyrinth in search of comfort not easy to find.
On our first day on the island, we rode horses as part of a guided tour. The horses followed each other, and the riders were not allowed to dismount. One of the trail guides turned out to have lived a year in Alaska working for a dog musher. She convinced us to come back for a less structured sunset ride she assured us would be fun.
A large swell canceled our spearfishing trip, so instead, we visited a waterfall. After paying a dollar each, we followed a line of visitors down cement steps to view the falls, stopping several times to allow those ahead of us to take photos.
When the narrow walkway opened up to the view from a safe distance, I sat down and watched what seemed like an endless line of people snap photos — the visitors were flowing more than the water.
Time had slowed down as it does when standing in line. I realized how much the rigorous outdoor hunting and fishing life had changed me. I no longer wanted to sit on a warm beach or bask in the sun of Type I fun.
If we had stumbled upon the waterfall alone in the clearing, the prehistoric view would have been a thrill to discover. As it was, I worried the experience was more picturesque than inspirational.
I had come from a place of dreading the miserable to missing the excitement of the mountains and the cold mineral air. Instead of backcountry skiers dressed in cold weather gear, barefoot surfers carried boards. The frothy waves resembled snowpack. It wasn't where I was that mattered as much as what I was doing — or wasn't.
We arrived back at the ranch just before sunset and headed out for the coast. The rest of the horses had been released for the night to graze on bright green African grass. Three of us rode amidst the herd in silence, weaved through shade trees and strode up a hill with a view of the Pacific Ocean.
Our new friend pointed to a herd of cattle lounging on the horizon. They were all bulls. "Do you want to chase them?" she asked.
The first thought that came to mind was the line from Lonesome Dove in which Gus McCrae asks his companion if he wants to chase buffalo because they won't always be around to chase.
The bull ahead of me stood his ground as my horse faced off with him. It was only my third time on horseback, and I felt the familiar fear at the edge of my comfort zone. As we rushed forward, the bulky bull lifted from a dust pile and dodged to the side. I remember how fast the horse moved and the smell of cows, pasture and leather.
Chasing bulls is nothing like hunting ducks or following bird dogs into the mountains. It's not like ice fishing or fly-fishing on a cold river. But it holds the same flicker of joy that comes from the slightly uncomfortable pursuit. You feel for just a moment that you put on your jeans and boots in the old ways and head out on the open range.
You aren't chasing cattle for your supper or to survive, but because you might have been suffering from cabin fever in your home state, and it seems even the horses and bulls thought it was all good fun.
