Tiptoe through the Rubus

We made it down to the beach south of Portage Head, the beach we stayed at back in early July. Eventually. There is no trail down there… some may tell you that there is but do not believe them if they do. Still, it is possible to do it – we did. Through muddy, steep […]

Waiting for bacon

I have stayed in a variety of places in my travels, but there are some that stand out. I’m pretty sure, as the time continues, that this will live on in my memory as one of the good ones. The NOAA trailer on the Coast Guard base at Neah Bay, if you’re wondering… thank you, […]

Back to Portage

We found a little pocket beach this summer, just south of Portage Head, where there was more debris per-square-meter than anywhere else we landed. It was difficult to count the number of disposable bottles, fishing supplies and general plastic crap – there was so much of it in such a small area. Because it was […]

Crazy

I’m thinking about building a boat. A plastic boat. A boat made out of plastic bottles, styrofoam scraps and other discarded pieces of plastic flotsam that I am finding. I’ve gone online, looked at the examples that others have made. I’ve written Marcus Eriksen – who has made a few of them himself – and […]

One more month. That’s how long we have before the days start getting longer again. Sunrise today will come at 7:22am and sunset is scheduled for 4:28pm. That’s barely more than 9 hours of daylight… and there’s still a month to go of that number getting even smaller. By the solstice, December 21st, daylight in […]

Mary went to Washington DC this past weekend and while she was there, she went to the Museum of Natural History. She sent a few photos back on the iPhone and while the boy was magnificently impressed with the picture of the T-Rex skeleton, I was more taken with a quote that she found from […]

Sunday afternoon

They’re calling for high winds today out on the coast, gusts to 60 knots. It’s nowhere near that blustery here in Puget Sound country, but it still feels a lot like winter out there. I’ve been watching the film about twice a day this weekend, going through the images scene by scene, seeing what else […]

Curtain call

The premiere went well last night… a lot of friends I hadn’t seen in a while and some I met for the first time. For those who made it to the Grand, I just want to say “Thanks!” and I hope you had as much fun as we did. For those who were not able […]

Feeling like a Monday

With yesterday being a holiday, today feels like the first day of the week. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. It’s a frantic romp, getting everything ready to go for tomorrow night. Still, it will all be worth the work and I am genuinely looking forward to the show. And, of course, it’s not […]

Gray

There are sea lions out there again this morning. They come in close, then glide out toward the middle of the Narrows, riding the currents. I can hear them breathing. It’s a hard, gray morning, the clouds thick and heavy with water, getting ready to drop another load of rain. The air is cold, but […]
