    One minute its sunny, glassy and offshore. The next minute its cold, foggy and onshore. So soak it all in and enjoy it while it lasts.

    I love random glassy afternoons at home. Warm water and warm air feels so good. A few good ones rolling through is just a bonus.

    Cancelled our Cabo trip 3 days prior to departure because of Hurricane Lidia. Decided to drive into Baja instead. The conditions were awesome and we saved a bunch of money. Ashley happened to get this pic from our balcony in between chapters of The Count of Monte Cristo. Sometimes it all just works out for the better.

  • So one day in the winter of 2027, what does your whole day look like? Dream big, dreams without any fear. Write it all down, and write like there is no tomorrow; write like your life depends on it - because it does.

  • “The Earth does not belong to man; Man belongs to the Earth. This we know. All things are connected like the blood which unites one family. Whatever befalls the Earth befalls the sons of the Earth. Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself.”

  • In Yosemite we called ourselves the Valley Cong. We hid from the rangers in the nooks and crannies behind Camp 4 when we overstayed the two week camping limit. We took special pride in the fact that climbing rocks and icefalls had no economic value in society. We were rebels from the consumer culture. Politicians and businessmen were "greaseballs" and corporations were the source of all evil. The natural world was our home. Our heroes were Muir, Thoreau, and Emerson and the European climbers Gatson Rebuffat, Ricardo Cassin, and Herman Buhl. We were like the wild species living on the edge of an ecosystem –adaptable, resilient, and tough.

  • "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."

  • "In the morning when you feel unwilling to rise, let this thought be present: I am rising to the work of a human being. Why then am I dissatisfied if I am going to do the things for which I exist, for which I was brought into the world? Or have I been made for this, to lie in the bed clothes to keep myself warm? - But this is more pleasant! - Do you exist then for the sake of pleasure rather than action or exertion? Do you not see then the plants and birds, the ants and spiders and bees working together to put in order their own corners of the universe, and are you unwilling to do the work of a human being, and do you not make haste to do that which is your very nature to do? - But it is necessary to take rest also! - It is necessary, however nature has fixed bounds to this too, she has fixed bounds for eating and drinking and yet you go beyond these bounds, beyond what is sufficient. By contrast, in your actions you stop short of what you can do. All this goes to show that you do not love yourself, for if you did, you would love your nature and her will. Those who love their own art, they exhaust themselves by working at them, without washing and without food. But you value your own nature less than the turner values the turning art, or the dancer the dancing art, or the lover of money values his money, or the vain glorious man his little glory. And such men when they have a violent affection for a thing chose neither to eat or sleep in order to perfect the things in which they care for."
