  • A Waiting Quarter

    When I was growing up, one of my most favorite beach “casino” games was the one with all the quarters. Seeing all those shiny coins waiting to drop off that ninety-degree angle and fall with a clink into the metal cup before me was too much for me to avoid. I would beg my parents…

  • Fear

    My rabid fear of flying brings out some of the weirdest ideas and spoken word. I’ve asked Toby Joe what clouds are, how a plane works, whether the wings are attached and if they can handle being hit with a 90-degree wind at 37 thousand feet. It’s almost as if when I’m afraid, I become…

  • Sneak Preview

    Here is one of the images I took while in Orlando. Obviously, there are more to come. (I’m waiting for our film to get processed, too.) I swear to all that is sacred and good that what you’re seeing here isn’t as naughty as it appears to be. But holy crap, did we ever laugh…

  • Here we go again.

    Due to the fact Toby Joe and I were in Fort Wilderness during the gearing up of the Half Ironman contest, we have begun the South Beach Diet. There is nothing more humiliating and inspiring and humbling than seeing a bunch of unbelievably healthy men and women prepare for a triathlon while on vacation. My…

  • Biting Back the Barf

    Last week, Toby Joe and I met the ENTIRE family down in Florida for a reunion, which had been planned nearly a year and a half ago. We left last Sunday on an afternoon flight that was scheduled to touchdown in Orlando at around 4 in the afternoon. Have you ever put something off due…

  • Vacation: Terminate.

    Last night, we touched down in New York City. Greeted by rain, wind and 50-degree weather, it’s hard getting back into the swing of things. Moving from head-jolting roller coasters or simulated trips to Mars into the slow, sputtering stench-filled bowels of the MTA is a bit of a shock. But last night as I…

  • Vacation

    Starting Sunday, we’ll be in Florida for a week of fun in the sun. I’ll probably update from there as we’ll both be working from time to time finishing up freelance, etc. Plus, SPD has to be pushed live on Wednesday night. I have everything prepared already so if need be I can upload everything…

  • SPD

    I gotta tell ya, I’m pretty happy with this week’s Self-Portrait Day. I feel like I discovered a couple of new sites and faces. I also rediscovered one I hadn’t been to in a while. If you haven’t already done so, go take a look. One guy is seemingly having sex in his portrait. Which…

  • We Gonna Have a Real Good Time Last Night.

    Last night, I met Missy at Von for a few beers. And then we went to Bontanica and had a few more beers. There, we were joined by Toby and a coworker of his as well as my brother, Ryan. We also ran into an old friend, Jimmy but he left right away because he…

  • I so wanna go

    Here are some photos of an abandoned island in Japan. How amazing would that be to see? (Thanks, Ben.) Here is some information about the actual island. Enjoy!
