Now this is the way to start the day. Oh yes to peaches, apricots, strawberries, and plums.

How amazing it was to see this, and not just the cliffs, but two surfers surfing the waves down below that broke practically right up into the cliffside, and not just that, but then watching as those two surfers somehow walked all the way up that cliffside with surfboards in hand.

Just after the finish line of the Brooklyn Half Marathon.
Coney Island Boardwalk
May 18, 2013
It’s a wonderful course — starts out near the Brooklyn Museum, includes a loop around gorgeous Prospect Park and a rather long, but very flat stretch down Ocean Parkway, and ends with a quick dash on the boardwalk and a finish line at the festive and ocean-cooled air of Coney Island. Making it even better is that the race takes place during the spring, after the cold weather is gone (or mostly gone) but before the hammer of summer humidity slams down on the city.

A memory to keep: surfing in Padang Padang with my wife at sunset, watching the sun disappear and then seeing the light of an almost full moon illuminate the crashing waves.
The applause comes up as Paul Muldoon closes down the Poetry Bomb event (April 30, 2013) put together by Tumblr, Abrams Books, and the Academy of American Poets at Housing Works Bookstore in NYC.
Which is just another way of saying it was a really great Sunday afternoon in Brooklyn Bridge Park. (Got the Dough donut at the Smorgasburg in Dumbo.)
Pretty much every morning in Bali, I ordered the banana pancakes. They were always a little different in texture and fluff, but they were without fail amazing. It was a great way to start out each day.
It was a beautiful boat ride to Koh Tonsay, a small island just a few miles off the coast of Kep, Cambodia.
