Under the Lip

Dana Shaw tucking under an offshore lip near Lincoln Boulevard at Ocean Beach on Thanksgiving morning. Ocean Beach is seemingly always good on Thanksgiving — in the 15 years I lived there I can remember 10+ Thanksgiving Days full of good surf. Sometimes in the shoulder high range seen here, and sometimes in the overhead range. November is a good time to be a surfer in San Francisco.

“Don’t wait for anything. ” – Ira glass

Don’t wait for permission to make something that’s interesting or amusing to you. Just do it now. Don’t wait. Find a story idea, start making it, give yourself a deadline, show it to people who’ll give you notes to make it better. Don’t wait till you’re older, or in some better job than you have now. Don’t wait for anything. Don’t wait till some magical story idea drops into your lap. That’s not where ideas come from. Go looking for an idea and it’ll show up. Begin now. Be a fucking soldier about it and be tough.

A trip up north

My parents recently sold our childhood home, so I packed up the wife and kid (and dog) and we ventured north to revisit past memories and make some new ones. We dipped into the City and continued further north to reconnect with the natural world around Lake Shasta. Waterfalls, glacial melt, red clay, railroad towns where my grandparents lived — all a welcome change from the I-5/405 brain scramble. A few select visions from north of the Golden Gate attached.
