Voyage of the Libertine: Day 1
September 26, 2008
I’m aboard my friend Will’s sailboat, Libertine, in Oyster Point marina (South San Francisco) – we are leaving this morning for a journey down the California coast, to the Channel Islands and back. With Will as the captain and Coleen, Alan and myself as crew, we will be on the water for the next 6 or 7 days; next stop is planned to be Port San Luis. I will post updates as connectivity permits! We should be underway by 10 this morning.

Hell Ride 5
September 2, 2008
So, Mark Weir and Rachel Lloyd pick a crazy route to ride around Downieville, and then sucker some poor folks into going with them by holding out a new bike as a carrot – what a great idea! They call it the Hell Ride. Check out the route and stats – I can’t believe these guys did it in under 8 hours! That’s just rippin’. Either one of the loops in this course makes for a pretty decent ride.

Coming home from Houston
August 11, 2008
I was snoozing, and woke up to see a large city passing by underneath... "why, that looks remarkably like Phoenix" I thought. And indeed it was, the city of Nimue's birth, so I took a picture.

And if you look closely, you’ll see that it’s even a double rainbow.</p>
