Yesterday I showed up with about 30 fellow townsfolk here in Port Orford, Oregon. Excited today to learn we were among 7 million across the country and the world! #nokings

Thelonious Monk cuts through noise. Asked “Where’s jazz going?” he said: “I don’t know. You can’t make anything go anywhere. It just happens.”
When world feels unstable & future unclear it’s easy to lose hope. Monk reminds life, like jazz, can’t be forced. It unfolds. It improvises. It surprises.

One day after the Summer Solstice, and we’ve got snow in the mountains! A good omen for the 25-26 snowboarding season. 🏂
Enjoying summer while I prepare physically and mentally for tree runs and snowy silence.
Winter 25-26 let’s go!

Today we commemorate Juneteenth, when news of emancipation reached enslaved people in Texas on June 19, 1865.
Today we celebrate freedom, remember the struggles that made it possible, and pledge to continue working to build a more just society for all.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Today I flew the flag upside down as a symbol of distress - a signal that our nation is in dire peril.

Our democracy faces extreme danger under the current administration’s authoritarian overreach.

Patriotism means defending democracy, not bowing to tyranny. 🇺🇸
