Good morning!

This piece ran in the Tacoma News Tribune yesterday. Ticket sales for the Seattle showing tomorrow night are taking off… get ’em while the gettin’ is good. We still have a few more showings of The Roadless Coast, but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel now. After the two this […]

Adrift in the city of books

We made a pilgrimage to Powell’s Books in Portland today. If you’ve never been, it’s pretty amazing. Picture the biggest book store you’ve ever been in, and then imagine it as a single room in a larger store, an uberstore, if you will, with more books than Carter has little pills. Truly awesome. I don’t […]

Water walking

It isn’t often that I see anyone else on the water when I paddle the Foss on a winter morning. Once in a while there’ll be a tug coming in or going out, maybe a fishing boat (on the weekend mornings), but another SUP? Never. Actually, I was looking for him. I’ve seen on Corey […]

Head like a wheel

The past week has been a busy one and my head has been spinning. I haven’t had the time to post in this space as much as I normally do. No excuses really; just reasons. School started last week, my new classes at SAMi, so I have new students to teach about how the system […]

Out there

The crew from OAR Northwest – (the picture above was taken in Tacoma a couple years back) – are well into their Atlantic crossing now, from Dakar, Senegal to Miami, Florida. It’s a voyage of superlatives, and will be the first row from Africa to North America once it’s completed. This is a group of rowers […]

Past and present

I’m a list maker. I’ve found that the best way to keep focused is to make a list of what I need to do. I’m less likely to be distracted by pretty, shiny objects or to chase my tail down the rabbit-hole of the internet if I have a clear list of stuff that I […]

Old Faithful

I got my first SUP in August of 2008. It was a demo board, scratched when I bought it, but in reasonably good shape. I rode it almost every day for the first year or so, to the point that it became an extension of my feet, allowing me to walk on water. I rode […]

A Plug

We got back from San Francisco on Sunday night. It wasn’t exactly “hot” in the Bay area, but it was warmer than the Pacific Northwest. More importantly, it was sunny and the blue of the sky was so clean it hurt my eyes. I see why people love it there. The symposium was good. Not […]

Pressing

This story ran in a couple peninsula newspapers this past week. The quotes are mostly right, not too much taken out of context – and that’s about all you can hope for.

Live!

Today’s the day the Kickstarter campaign starts. Over the next 60 days, we will be trying to raise the money we need to produce the film, The Secrets of Augustine. We’ll be shaking out our couch cushions and, by using the crowd-sourcing method, we’ll be asking everyone we know (and many we don’t) to do […]
