Although I designed some pretty cool stuff.
It is simply time to go adventure with my snowboards now.

So it goes. One morning about a month ago, I woke up in my tent all torn up inside. I just lied on my back for an hour or so thinking about life. It can be so generous even through the thick swamp of shit we sometimes have to wade. I looked out of my tent and snapped this photo of a beautiful helicopter. Yes those are flames. A few hours later, a few of us jumped in and had a great day. Check the Matchstick Productions film this fall…….

I got a good laugh.

Back in ’03 I was living in Ketchum, Idaho working for the US Forest Service. One day Senator John Kerry came to town early on in the presidential race. He wanted to get in some down time before his life got really crazy. I got this sticker of a local coffee shop and tried to give it to him out of good humor.

My chance came early one morning when Senator Kerry was going backcountry snowboarding. I failed. I actually met the guy, but didn’t hand over the sticker. I’m sure he would have gotten a good laugh at it.

To the Senator’s credit, he hiked with snowshoes and a board on his back over 2,000 ft that morning. He got in a reasonable run and then headed over to the ski area for the afternoon. Solid day. Especially if you are in a Presidential race and 60 years old. The next day the media and Bush administration made an issue out of Kerry participating in extreme sports. On the same day Bush went to a NASCAR race and was applauded for relating to normal Americans. You know the story from there and is history…….
