25 miles to the west of San Francisco lies the Farallon Islands. In 2006 a former girlfriend and I went on a trip out to the islands for a wildlife exploration. It was an all day trip that was bracketed with trips for sushi. I was worried about seasickness and went [...]
I found myself exploring the shoreline around downtown St. Petersburg, Florida via a few rides today. I’m becoming increasingly comfortable with the fixed gear set up on my bike (it still needs a name).
I first caught some children playing in the water off Vinoy Park, north of downtown. Then off to [...]
Alligators and wildlife live among us here in St Petersburg. Booker Creek Park is only a few minutes ride from my apartment and is the playground for a pod of alligators. It’s a little alarming to experience them in the open like that for the first time. Knowing that they can and do [...]
2007 was my second full year in San Francisco and the year where it felt I made the most connections…
Luscious - richly luxurious or appealing to the senses
Synchronicity - the coincidental occurrence of events and especially psychic events (as similar thoughts in widely separated persons or a mental image of an unexpected event before it happens) that [...]
In April of 2008 Calamity and I departed San Francisco for points east. Part of our adventures during that trip was a trek along the Appalachian Trail through Virginia. Shenandoah National Park was amazing to hike through that time of year.
We got a ride to the trail from my cousins that own a [...]
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 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 ...
