Simmonsing Brooklyn

On the ride back from swim class this morning the son and I spotted some strange doings outside a warehouse in a quickly de-industrializing part of Brooklyn. I stopped by and chatted for a moment, finding out these enterprising souls had made a temporary shaping bay amidst all the cardboard boxes inside. Later on I showed the photo to Joey Clams and he smiled and said "Everyone wants to shape a Mini Simmons."

While I was Gone

While Ty Breuer and SMASH was out doing their linchpin work last night, I were at home treating myself to some long overdue family time.  And sneaking some peaks of my own.

A Hundred Miles To The End

Save Our Surf Archive

SOS became a militant movement overnight in late 1969 when plans were unveiled by the Army Corps of Engineers and the state to "broaden" the beaches of Waikiki. Using old fashioned political techniques- hand-bills, demonstrations and colorful presentations at public meetings - SOS quickly won the respect of the politicians and developed strong grassroots support in the community at large. The principal spokesman for the group was John Kelly. As described by Kelly in 1971, the SOS strategy rests on three simple concepts: respect the intelligence of the people, get the facts to them and help the people develop and action program.

Another April Fool

You know, you do your best right?  You try to work it all out, fit everything in, provide for your self, for your family, for your friends, for your co-workers, maybe even a little bit for the rest of humanity too.  You put the nose to the grindstone, get your hands dirty, just do it, blah blah blah.  And then, and then.  Then.  Then you get that photo from wifey via the magic of the digital wireless revolution taken moments before while you sit at your desk banging at those keys and she stands on the bluff above Swami's in that little garden nook, watching the swell roll in.
