Site Visits


"Half of the time we're gone and we don't know where and we don't know where . . . "
Paul Simon, Only Living Boy in New York

Living in one place, working out in another and working in still a third has left an urban nomad.  Spend as much time in transition as not and have grown to enjoy it; technology allows it and I get to see some cool shit:
Like a Peregrine falcon over West Oakland, just popping up out of the BART underground
Like Harbor porpoises off the starboard rear quarter of the ferry
Like a Bobcat padding up the unused railroad tracks adjacent to 101
Like Susan S's art piece house finally coming together on Potrero Hill
and finishing the day today with a good workout on a torn up moving blanket with some rusty kettlebells in the middle of one of the finest neighborhoods in one of the best cities in the world, and still having people smile at me.
God I love this town.

Three mile marsh walk in the bone chilling pouring rain, shattered goose eggs making a mockery of Easter on the North levee.  Hanging out with Ian and ecstatic dog; watch Stanford women kick ass.
