A summer night with my lady and my bike.

A friend recently sent me this photo of Jordan and I cruising on my motorbike. It was taken on our our way home from the beach. The photo made me miss my bike, and the adventures that we had on it. Sadly my bike sits in the back yard uninsured. My bicycle will do until the spring.

Starfish & Seafinks

Christian and I were itching to go adventuring the other night, so we rode our bikes down to the ocean, climbed down over some rocks and plopped our feet in the chilly water. What we found was amazing, incredible, shocking, hilarious, and cool.

We found out that Christian is actually a SeaFink. The lesser known twin brother of Rat Fink, the LandFink.


We also found... giant purple starfish! Christian was scared to touch them, and he was also crying because his feet were cold, so I plucked some out of the water and introduced myself.





We also saw a teeny tiny little baby jellyfish, that was only slightly bigger than the little jelly in Finding Nemo. AND, we saw multiple seals. I tried to call them over but to no avail, as usual.
It was a good adventure and we caught a stunning sunset over the city on the ride home.

The Kidd!

White tires, New Yorker handlebars, and a homemade spider man costume; I used to be cool.

WHEN I FIND YOU BIKE THIEF, 

YOU'RE DEAD MEAT.

Semester One

[Christian being crushed by a large rock]

Our first semester is almost over. 

We have made hour long scribbles and watched movies about stucco walls.

We have also made oodles of real work, like a wooden bicycle, a 7,000 foot long paper chain*, pencils whittled from a chair, and a plywood, human head that is also a box.

We'll put up some pictures when we are eating pounds of mom's Christmas baking, not studying, and not being crushed by rocks.

*7,000 is a slight hyperbole, but it certainly feels like it could be that long.
