Living in Florida this past year has been most interesting. I’m living on the west coast of Florida on a peninsula that reaches into the area where Tampa Bay and the Gulf of Mexico meet. Flatter land and warmer water than in San Francisco.
Shelley and I arrived in Florida May 8, 2008 fresh from our [...]
The upcoming fire art show started me remembering about my firs trip to Burning Man and the impressions it made on me.
I was living in Ohio at the time and remember buying my tickets on a cold January afternoon.. refresh, refresh, refresh, yay TICKETS! Then I was fairly quiet for the coming months until [...]
The last party I went to in San Francisco was How Weird Street Faire in 2008. It was a semi-last minute decision as I was in the city only for the day, while finishing packing for the trip to Florida.
It was the first time HW was in its new location at 2nd and Howard [...]
In November of 2008 Shelley’s class was ending with a field trip to the Ringling Museum in Sarasota, Florida. Yep its the same people who bring the unicorn, dancing goats and the unemptiable clown car to a city near you. The Ringling Museum is designated the Florida State museum and have a [...]
On April 12, 2009 (Easter) I became the owner of a new fixed gear bike, a GT Gutterball.
I had some alterations (look for the blue bits) from the stock design, new handlebars, changed the gearing, longer chain. Right now I’m running 53/16 gearing on both sides of the flip hub. One side is a single speed [...]
I have accepted a position in New York City and will be moving to Brooklyn later this week! (You should picture me dancing about bubbling with excitement as you hear those words) For those of you that hadn't heard it is a recent development... less than a week since the offer. So there has been a frantic pace of apartment hunting with this Clinton Hill duplex the front runner: I am also tempted by high rise living.. something about a corner apartment on the 40 somethingith floor of a mid-town building..... So I'm furiously packing and trying to remember ...
Over the US Thanksgiving Day weekend I finally had the opportunity to catch up on Lost. I've made it through seasons 4 & 5 and am now working on season 1, with 2-3 to follow. Present Theories: Jacob is the father trying to raise his child. A loose parallel of Christian and Jack. The Island is a prison: Jacob and "friend" are in the prison. Jacob is a warden whos "powers" can escape the island. I've come up with a list of questions for which I'd like to find answers: How is Jin hopping thorough time in Season 4 with the other Island persons but ...
I finally made my way to Tampa Bay's water's edge to catch a sunrise. I liked it more than the sunsets... There felt more of an activity about at least with the birds and the dolphins. Pelicans and seagulls were swooping about and the dolphins were friskily feeding. Aside from a lone tug boat heading out to the Gulf of Mexico there was little human activity seen on the water. I had also forgotten how long it takes for the sun to cross the horizon once the eastern sky begins to lighten. I was ...
