  • Questions for a Biologist

    A number (12) of little orange ant looking things were walking about on my cactus one May day in 2007.  Surprised at the sight of these new critters I photographed them in hopes that someday someone would tell me what they were. Just this weekend a biologist friend of mine “JD” visited and I finally…

  • Movin on.

    and now, we’ve gone. Gone from Colorado Springs and on our way to Tucson. From there to Orange County. With our final destination by the end of next week, Berkeley, California, where we’ll finally drop our bags for a stay of more than a few months. Thanks to Colorado for the hospitality, the beautiful weather, the reasonably…

  • Dan’s Task List

    Dan gets all the fun.. His last night in Tucson Kira sets up a dinner and a potluck of a scavenger hunt down 4th ave. Dan accepts, Dan performs, Dan cuts some corners, but we’re several drinks in and no one can figure out his magic. Dan buys the next round. Dan wins at pool…

  • The Snuggie Review

    Kira & Tara share the mic. Tara not so much, Kira a little bit much. Who’s that in the background, won’t you be quite? Where is this girl from, someone get here a gig – or at least a snuggie.

  • Dan to Stanford

    A quick rundown of Dan’s new direction. Will this change how he lives life? I think it will contribute to the amount of cash he spends in the coming months, and perhaps the amount of cash he’ll spend in the coming years. Good school, but will he be okay going to ‘that school which should…

  • Back on the Horse

    A master of disaster and of recovery. Chad’s up on his feet and finally takes a look at his bike. After a bit of time turning wrenches, a couple of eBay purchases, and some psycotherapy, Chad straps on his boots and knoggin-knockin-protector and takes Fizzer for a ride. http://john.from.thecalifornias.org/Media/chad%27s%20bike-mobile-1.m4v

  • Mongollon Trail Blazer

    A days hike slowly comes to an end. After a trek up the side of the ridge in near-white-out conditions, comes a 10 mile straightaway through the continually falling snow. As the snow piles along the road and my boots become heavier I take a moment to reflect on my thoughts. Video currently located on…

  • Fly Fishing.

    5 AM rolled by without anyone noticing. Then 5:30. Then four minutes later I woke up in a mild panic. I was suppose to be ready at 5:20 and I wasn’t. I paced a bit, looked out the window into the black night. Subtle porch lights created weak shadows across the street, otherwise there was…
