Days are long, moments are short? Or is it the moments that are long and the days are short? Let's be honest nothing about this experience feels short right now with two small children at home. And yet someday it will be in the past and perhaps, just perhaps some part of us will miss...Continue reading
2019 Jeff here. Paige and I met in grad. school for environmental education in '05. We both graduated in '07, full of fire and passion, certain that we needed to do something creative, timely and drastic to help save the planet. But we didn't become full-time "Jeff & Paige" until '11. Between '07-'11 my work...Continue reading
Insectival at butterfly pavilion- so much more than music! Returning to normal life–and performing– after having a baby is a little bit like coming back to town after a long trip in the backcountry.

This was a man who wanted to escape “Into the Alpine” and take my bicycle and ride to the periphery. This was a man who wanted to disconnect from the human community in order to delve deeper into the natural world.

It’s 9pm. I emerge groggy-eyed from our son, Wolf’s, bedroom.
“Flubbsies?” Jeff asks.
”Mmmmhmm.” I reply. Flubbsies is our word for this moment of coming out of a darkened bedroom, bleary-eyed, squinting at the light, after falling asleep putting the kid to bed.
