  • glacier and yellowstone

    We just returned from a trip out to Glacier, Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. I infamously took Amy up one of the tallest peaks in the White Mountains for an overnight camp with some friends, very early in our relationship, and ever since we’ve enjoyed getting out into the woods together. Our trip to […]

  • irene, not irie

    Given the comments here, I thought I’d throw up a few local images I took of the aftermath. We live about 600′ above the Connecticut river and between here and there we have several little streams that feed down the hill and cross a few roads. Two of those crossings were washed out on Sunday. […]

  • home grown

    Our tomatoes started showing signs of red last week, much to our excitement. Tonight we picked the first one. Perhaps it’s a little premature but we couldn’t resist. A little dash of salt – mmmmm. We’ve been trimming herbs for a while now for dinners. Amy made a nice pesto and herb butters over the […]

  • get stoaked

    An old client of ours wandered into the office at the end of the spring to drop off a package and asked me if I’d been riding. In the early days I would tag along with my boss and his pals for weekly mountain bike rides, but then for one reason or another I kinda […]

  • nested

    I was working away on the garden the other day when I noticed a broken shell on the ground. It seemed an unusual place for a shell to naturally find itself, so I raised my eyes straight up and found a nest perched up on the house. I climbed up and found it empty, I […]

  • the longest way

    I think this was also playing on the Banff tour. Man, I need to get out and do something. We were not put on this earth to fuckin sit in cubicles. Also, this video kinda reminds me of this other one. Just makes me happy when I see it;

  • the swiss machine

    My brother sent this to me today. I think he saw the full thing at the traveling Banff Film Festival in Atlanta last night. Looks amazing! Sad to see I missed the tour this year. Boo. Maybe next year.

  • kessenuma tsunami

    I’ve always had a fascination with tsunamis. In my head (and in the movies) I always imagine this monster rip curl cresting over the city, but in reality I guess it starts out a lot more innocuously and builds from there. The videos from India a few years ago were the first real footage I’d […]

  • the green tunnel

    I’ve had a nice little relationship with the Appalachian Trail. My dad took us out a few times in PA when I was young and then I got a serious taste when I was 15 and I tackled the Hundred Mile Wilderness with Kieve. I’ve since cheated my way to the top of Springer Mountain […]
