If you lived here.

Fifty years ago Long-boarding was sidewalk surfing, a faster, farther variation of skateboarding, and now it’s not. Its evolved into something esoteric and fast like a medieval duel in the future. A future where post-apocalyptic nerd warriors in faded but colorful leathers, duct tape, aerodynamic helmets and two kinds of sneakers, race speedboards 45 miles [...]

In an Epic Too Small to be Tragic

The final installment of Rapha’s Road Journal for this summers Continental series is up on their site. Carey S-H posted some wonderful photos and delivered copy that probably (not sure it deserves it) did The Big (Big) Loop justice. This installment was special for me as this was the leg / ride that [...]

“I would rather spork than spoon…”

consecutive hours in the car lends the opportunity to find aspects of our friend’s lives / minds that we may never have learned without that strategically placed road trip…

Lincoln, NE from RAPHA on Vimeo.
Not sure how many of you know but I spent my 3rd grade year in a small town in Nebraska.  Besides leaving my friends in Montana my time in Nebraska was fun, relatively uneventful, but fun.  I thought my teacher, Mrs. Peterson, was pretty, I could see my sister (we [...]

Am I missing a tooth?

The Monkey and I went to the Ballard Crit this weekend.  Good. Fun. Racing.  We got to meet the entire Erbeck brood.  They aren’t adorable or anything.
I wonder who saw the new movie with Zach Galifianakis?

Where Are You Go

I am in awe… a beautiful and brave adventure. I need to pull my socks up and follow my dreams to capture something of this nature.
Thanks for forwarding Aaron
I wonder if True will tear into his ‘real’ cake. Better yet, I wonder if his dad will make him bacon for breakfast?

Morning Moon

The reactor’s down
I guess for Labour Day, today
It’s the first day I ain’t seen
A great plume of steam from across the lake
From across the lake
Hey, that’s a morning moon, yeah.
I’m not making strain
Said, “Someone’s paying
When something’s too cheap
Somebody’s paying something”
You said, “Some one’s paying something.”
Under a morning moon, yeah
Say those little things that don’t [...]

TraumaMan

I went for a ride this last Sunday with Aaron E. (see previous Rapha Continental post). Needless to say, the ride was excellent and we spent much of the time getting to know each other a bit better. Reality is, I am pretty sure that I got more out of it than Aaron. [...]

Tarra & Bella

My buddy Shaun shared this with me.  He owns a sweet Bella of his own. let’s hope he doesn’t “invest” in an elephant.
I wonder if Elisha has ever ridden an elephant?

Beard Head

I was going to buy one of these for The Beard but it seems it might be redundant. Possibly I could buy him the Viking or the Grandpa?
I wonder if Charmaine and Sophia might want one? A Family Beard
