Democracy

Posted by Ken Campbell October 24, 2012 0 Comment 1345 views

I was bopping between the football game and the Presidential debate the other night, neither of which was particularly inspiring (although I’d have to say that both Obama and Romney showed more life than the Detroit Lions). Micah was sitting next to me for a while and I think his comment says it as well […]

Date night

Posted by Ken Campbell October 23, 2012 2 Comments 1679 views

So, if you live in Seattle (I’ve heard there are those who actually do), and you’re looking for a whoop-it-up good time this Friday night, come on down to the REI flagship store and take in a presentation on the Ikkatsu Project. OK… it might not be whoop-it-up like tractor pulls and beer pong, but […]

Doing the FM

Posted by Ken Campbell October 22, 2012 0 Comment 1333 views

I feel like I’ve been on the radio a fair bit this year, talking about plastic. Between myself and the other Ikkatsu team members, we’ve done NPR, National Geographic, things like that. But there is nothing like waking up to a call from a drive-time show on FM rock radio to start your Monday… I […]

Up the hill

The snow is falling. Not down here at sea level, but in the mountains, anyway. It’s going to take a while before it really starts to stick, but winter is definitely on the way. I am looking forward to getting back up to Mount Rainier this winter, to doing some more snowshoeing and backcountry skiing. […]

Apropos of nothing

I don’t know. It’s just something I think about before I order another round. Here’s looking at you.

Before the storm

Posted by Ken Campbell October 19, 2012 0 Comment 1229 views

It started pouring last night. It’s let up a bit now but as the sun is coming up, I can see that the next dousing is not far behind. It had to happen and I’m not complaining (yet). I know we’ve been needing it and, in its own way, the rain is a beautiful thing. […]

Sold out!

The premiere of Ikkatsu: The Roadless Coast is set for November 14th at the Grand Cinema in Tacoma. As of this morning, both the 7:00pm showing and the 8:45pm showing are sold out. Unbelievable. Thanks to all who purchased tickets… we are looking forward to seeing you there. Remember, if you’re coming to the earlier […]

Just paddling

I got an email this morning, with a photo included. (Thanks Lee!) Something of a blast from the past, from a time that seems much further away than a paltry dozen years ago… more like a dozen decades. Published in the Downhomer magazine in Newfoundland, it’s a picture of me in Quidi Vidi Harbour and […]

Choices

Posted by Ken Campbell October 15, 2012 0 Comment 1218 views

There were a few items we needed from the grocery store on Saturday before we headed out to the weekend house getaway in Longbranch. Yogurt, a bottle of wine, carrots for the horses, etc. It wasn’t until I got to the checkout that I realized I didn’t have a reusable bag with me… in a […]
