'hate' mail
Andrea over at Runner's World forwarded me this e-mail from a [former] subscriber:
"""Dear Runner’s World Editor,
I wanted to send an email to let you know that I have enjoyed my subscription to Runner’s World Magazine over the last few months and to let you know why I will not be renewing it.
Basically, the articles and information were very helpful and beneficial to me. Unfortunately, the pictures on the cover (particularly when it is a woman) fall into the “soft porn” category at our house. You may disagree, but my wife does not. As a result, the covers of these magazines are generally torn off and trashed, often before I have a chance to read the magazine. This means that I often do not even realize that the coverless magazine on our coffee table is the latest Runner’s World issue and I miss out on the opportunity to read it before the next one comes. Or, if I do recognize the magazine, I miss out on seeing what feature articles are advertised on the cover. I’m sure that I could find a way to work around this, but I’ve come to realize that it’s too much trouble and not worth the time or money.
Please let me know if you improve your standards for the cover photos so that I can begin my subscription again. Thank you, nonetheless, for the help and advice I did manage to receive over the last year."""
I can only hope that i had something to do with throwing this guy's domestic bliss into a tailspin... talk about someone who needs to go for a long run.
Speaking of running - i wanted to congratulate Sal on his heroic effort in the NYC footrace the other day... as TR said "you lost, but still won!" He raised a ton of loot for Stoked Mentoring.
Good hustle.

road trip
I took mini-me [little Embry] up to Sequoia / Kings Canyon for a few days of hiking, biking & 'camping' [sleeping in the back of the truck & eating freeze dried jambalaya - not really roughing it]
It was my first time there & it is pretty staggering how massive the mountains & canyons are... you could really get lost up there... i'd love to give it a try.

20090914_mild, mild, west
I went out to Colorado [for work] & Wyoming [for fun] last week....
here are a few pics from traveling to/in CO.
I used to spend a lot of time running around these parts & it was cool to go back & see them again with different eyes.
I went to school in Laramie for a few years [Go Pokes!] &, um... oh, wow, visiting now is seriously like having a time machine.... i seriously couldn't find anything new or changed in the last 13 years.... i think that's good.
drive up liquor stores, the Buckhorn [one of the only places open on Labor Day], Pedal House, afternoon storms that make you pull over for a few minutes... great to see it all.
I love living by the beach, but those mountains & the endless sky... are really something.

summer is over now, right?

20090830_Shaker Village
Some photos from today.
I'm in KY visiting my parents with my family & we took the whole crew to Shaker Village...
It's got a pretty amazing, if repressed & baffling, history & the simplicity of their designs make you feel like life doesn't have to be so complex...
My kids saw a few goats & sheep & being Southern Californians, thought it was a zoo... we soothed their disappointment with a paddleboat ride up the Kentucky River on the Dixie Belle.

...some Nike web pics...
Here are a couple examples of our "Women's Training' shoot @ Venice HS a few months ago...
it's always cool to see what you have shot in print / online & see what the final selects & uses are... especially on a shoot like this when the client has all the images & myriad global uses.
