Today I’m beginning my running schedule. My first goal is the Living History Farms Race in November. Steve is in for sure and I’m still working on Kelsey. I tried to bribe her with a free drink every week and she refused, so I’m going to have to be a little more creative. Anyone else want to join?

Pete created a t-shirt and it’s up on Threadless. Besides being a cool company, Threadless provides an amazing outlet for creative souls…

As anyone who’s gotten drunk and/or philosophical with me can attest, I like to talk about the Fourth World. Taken from a few paragraphs of text in You Shall Know Our Velocity, the Fourth World is described thus:
“Everyone is sleeping and we are here, in the sea. That is the fourth world. The fourth world is present and available.”
