Last week I spoke at Christopher Newport University in Virginia. My time there was a powerful reminder of how much I love my work as a speaker -- & of how important it is. I spent time with students, faculty, & staff. I spoke in 2 classes, led 100 students through my Beyond Binaries program, had lunch with students, & dinner with faculty. By the end of the evening I was exhausted. I also felt great & grateful & hungry to do more campus speaking.

How Club Baseball Extends The Baseball Life Of The College Student-Athlete

I have a ton of respect for student-athletes. In order to be good at math, most people have to work at it. In order to be good at relationships, most people have to work at it. In order to hit a baseball fair 3 out of 10 times, you guessed it, you have to work at it. Whether you are in middle school, high school, or a four year college or university balancing schoolwork, a social life, and sports…

boygenius rolled their Re:Set music festival into a sold out Forest Hills Stadium on Saturday night. They are the best band in the universe at this moment. They are one body moving together - eyes, lungs and heart. An astounding combination of friendship and art. Their microphones voltroning together to form a hurricane gust of love for 100 minutes.

They blessed us with a brand new song - Boyfriends - on Saturday. Another deep sea plunge into the sublime. When one of your favorite bands plays something you've never heard before it sometimes lifts you off the soles of your feet. You have no reference to where it will go or how it will end. Each new note and chord change sending you somewhere you've never been before. Most of the time you go to concerts to hear the songs you've heard one thousand times before - to sing along, to bring you back to the moment you listened to it with someone else. From here on out, I'll remember who I was standing with on that tennis court whenever I listen to Boyfriends.

Day 22: Sunday January 22, 2023 - “Oregon Coast”

I felt like a ghost. Haunting my younger self, re-running these roads from Ecola State Park on down to Newport, through Tillamook and Corvallis and back up to PDX.   Out here where I spent a Christmas Eve before I knew even what I was doing, with a picnic basket and an idea and a bundle of firewood on the sands outside Netarts with ghosts of Christmas Past and Present dancing with me in the blowing sand - very green, then, and really up to something but not ever really sure,  but now with a grey beard and experience to know that the road does always provide, and now, as I drove out hoping to catch a sunset that would move me in some important way, out over that powerful ocean where the clouds always break for me, remembering that familiar feeling of hoping that was true again, and then there it was finally - the Pacific, the ocean that I dreamed into on so many lonely nights and empowered days, thinking about that old Primo Levi quote about feeling strong...  this is a powerful place, a place that I’ll always be drawn to.   I wound down the road, recognizing things and remembering things from a place I hadn’t seen in almost 13 years, and other places like Newport that I came back to over and over, as a waypoint on my Aesthetic Voyage.  I wondered, as I drove by, if Luke would remember guiding me to that Shell Station, the one coming up right before the road takes a 90 degree right, back before I had a smart phone of my own.  “Hey are you by a computer?”  Feels like a different life ago, and it was, but the timeless place is unmoved, unchanged.  The sea is still there, with its constant flow; harsh blows, what a gift.  So familiar and Close to the heart, Running running, born to run, like Christmas Night in Lincoln City, before the photo blog even existed, and how The Boss sings me through every time - “you signing that to me? - One Night Only!”  A runaway American Dream and Wild Oats.   Id like to think the place still knows me well too; that I havent been gone too long, the different chapters, the different lovers, the different times I came here looking for something - that restless cowboy up and down the 101- the path of paradise for me forever and always.  An Important Place that always knew the winding path I was on, and how I’d get there, and now I come back “home” like Christopher Robin to remember with delicate nostalgia and pride for how it was, and even what wasn’t -  Like that sad lovers resort at Depoe Bay, the first time I really remember my heart being broke - how I screamed out at the Gratiot Airport into the night over that place right there, as I rolled by it again, dark as it should be;  Stories untold, never written, right there - important more for maybe what didn’t happen here 17 years ago so it could be just mine, how here at this state park I pull into, I sat and burned divorce papers in the campfire, that was a sad night, and it was only mine, endings here too; and how just miles down the road there is a girl with a tattoo marking a path I chose not to go down as I verbed my way back East instead, and how the gift of that story came out of this mist.  The mist, thats always sent me home with many gifts, and made me work for most of them, which this wildman always appreciated.  So many things to tell out along these mile markers, of Chili Bombs, and running for mayor, and beer boiled clams, and sleeping on the sand, and me haunting them all in my rental, enjoying the green views of a pacific northwest forest highway, as if I was driving with my own self there in the backseat, in the rearview mirror the only difference between us is the miles  “The difference between love and happiness is you.” And maybe there is a wink from the universe and a nudge that I am figuring it out, as I cycle back through the places and the stories and the people of that time and space - that the adventure needs to come back, and the fire, and the blurry eyed idealism that the world worked, now with age and wisdom to truly enjoy how the story unfolds, where I used words like soulful, and supplication, and I didnt feel so much pressure and I laughed, and didn’t worry so much about the hurts, though itd be easy to.  “Welcome back old friend.”  I see you, I recognize you.  This is an important place.  A place that knows me.  And the treasure I left here, and the treasure I took away.  A place that is mine, again.

Song: Bruce Springsteen - Born To Run

Quote: '...Ah, life is a gate, a way, a path to Paradise anyway, why not live for fun and joy and love or some sort of girl by a fireside, why not go to your desire and LAUGH...'  ~Jack Kerouac

boygenius brought their tour to Idaho last night - their increasingly spectacular live show echoing deep into the orange boise sunset. boygenius is the best band in the universe at this moment. They are one body moving together - eyes, lungs and heart. An astounding combination of friendship and art. Their microphones voltroning together to form a hurricane gust of love for 100 minutes.

Last night was the band's first show in Idaho which made the crescendo of Ketchum, ID hit harder than usual. Phoebe sat on the lip of the stage during "Letter To An Old Poet" to speak about returning to Idaho for the first time since the death of her father. Lucy and Julien wrapped her in a hug as the crowd swelled with warmth. This show continues to be an astounding embrace of friendship, of art, of sadness and happiness. Julien, Lucy and Phoebe are my three favorite artists and I feel lucky to be able to watch them make art.
