My favorite portrait of Director David M. Helman and an outtake on set.

I went to Death Valley back in October for my birthday and to complete my third double century (200 mile bike ride) of the year to receive my  California Triple Crown award. I have never been here and although I did not take any photos from my bicycle, I did take a couple photos. After visiting such an other worldly place so close to home here in Southern California, I was amazed at its beauty and embarrassed that I did not visit sooner in life. I strongly encourage everyone to visit this place because my photos hardly do it justice.

My ride

So, I’ve got this pen pal, it’s pretty serious. I mail her all the time and I like to think I am pretty good at it. I get it from my mother who once mailed me 8 lbs of home made cookies when I lived in New York. My current pen pal has forced me to raise the bar, my old tricks have been outdone and I must elevate my craft. Here is a glimpse of a finished product with some of my tools.

Yes, it’s a home made frame with Bill Murray as the temporary picture

My brother lifting some weights in Toon Town, Disneyland. He’s leaving for Vietnam next week and will be traveling South East Asia for the next two months. I will probably miss him.

At 4am, before the LA Marathon run, a group of 400+ cyclists met up to ride the course while it was closed off to cars. More info and a video can be found here. Justin and I really enjoyed the 26+ mile ride on empty Los Angeles streets, the ride back to the car in rain, wind and poor navigation (sorry) wasn’t as much fun. Here we are at the end of our ride.

My friend Brad Coleman of the band “Indian Burn” gave me a tour of his house and backyard.
