Vivian Maier Exhibitioin
I'm quite a bit late in posting this. The show will be closing at the end of the month and I hope to get to the city to see it. You shouldn't miss this woman's amazing work. Read about how she was discovered here.

Quite possibly the last warm weekend of the season?
Rode around on bikes over the weekend. The weather was spectacular and I hope not the last we'll be seeing this season...

I always carry a point & shoot around with me but since getting my iPhone, I've been making every effort to snap at least one photo a day. It's kind of sad that I usually have a camera on me and it took getting a new toy to force myself to shoot more. I can only shrug my shoulders and hope the novelty of taking a photo every day doesn't wear off.

Co-opting Michael Moore
I'm on Michael Moore's mailing list - he sent this out Sunday...
9/11
September 11th, 2011
Friends,
There is not much more that needs to be said today. We all know how we felt on that day, and we all know what we've lost in this past decade. I said what I had to say about 9/11 seven years ago -- and thanks to some kind stranger who has posted it for free on YouTube, I'd like to share it with you again today.
Let's make the next decade one of peace.
Michael Moore
P.S. I'd also like to share this essay from former NY Times Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Chris Hedges. It is blunt and honest and worthy of reflection.

Negligence
It's nothing too serious, except that I used to be much better at getting photos out of my camera in a timely manner. I just downloaded images from my memory card dating back to January. To say I've been a little negligent in managing my photos is pretty accurate. I'll be posting links and images etc from the last several months over the course of the day.
Please check back for links...

Dodged a MAJOR bullet
I am eternally grateful to the universe for sparing me & M a total shit storm in regards to Hurricane Irene. We didn't have to evacuate, in our home we never lost power, no big tree limbs fell in the backyard and the basement stayed dry.
Photos and videos of beach shots before and after the storm to follow soon.
Best wishes to all others affected by the storm - may you have a speedy and smooth recovery.

Raffle Auction - a much better title
*UPDATE* - This whole shebang is being held at Langosta Lounge and NOT moving to Porta National Park like the poster says. Don't forget - festivities begin at 6. Hope to see you there!
My friend Patrick is part of a team who are going to stand-up paddle the 26.5 miles around the island of Manhattan August 12th.
August 3rd there is a fundraising event at Langosta Lounge in Asbury Park. I'm posting this info on my blog in the hopes that you will decide to donate to Patrick and help raise money for a good cause.
Like the flyer says, the auction has some great prizes including a 30-minute massage by me!
Come down and check out the event - have fun while embracing your inner do-gooder with minimal effort! See you there!

Animal Planet, or something...
For a good part of this summer M and I have been getting up very early... when I say very early, I mean sometimes before six am. We've been riding bicycles, exercising, swimming.
One day a few weeks ago while riding our bikes north on the AP board walk we spied some whales (though I'm not sure what kind). There were at least two, possibly a mama and her baby, breaching and shooting spray. It was pretty awesome. In fact, it was something I'd never seen with my own eyes off our little part of the Atlantic Ocean. In Hawaii and Mexico, yes. But not off our piece of the coast. Of course I clapped and giggled like a little kid.
In the past couple of weeks we've also seen some cool looking fish with black & white stripes. I thought maybe they were Zebra Fish, but I'm not certain since I'm pretty sure they only live in the tropics. The water in NJ has been warm but far from tropical (especially this week when it dropped back into the low sixties).
I saw some kind of ray - sting ray or skate - while I was surfing. It was quite big but not threatening in any way - just kind of hanging out near the bottom swimming around.
And then there were the dolphins swimming not far from us the other morning.
We've also had Salps... They look like fish eggs but they're not. Sometimes it's a little bit gross to swim amongst them b/c it's like swimming in pulpy orange juice but apparently they do good things for the ocean so I've made my peace with the little pieces.
It's been super cool to see all the sea creatures - if only the water in NJ were as clear as where ever these photos were taken. I mean, we can see to the bottom but our water is more greenish in color and definitely never as warm. Still, it's been a good summer so far with one exception... lack of surf. It's really rather sad and I'm ready to ride waves larger than two feet on a board shorter than seven.
*sigh*
