From about eighth grade on, my life revolved around basketball—pickup, practice, drills, rec league, school teams, AAU, open gyms, the sport court we built just for me on the side of our house. My high school and early college experiences centered around basketball, and I loved it. I love sports, teams, camraderie, physicality, training, playing,…

Natty, I’m grateful for my constant plus one. “I thought your burrito was going to be your Feel Good Friday.”
I Don’t Have To Be Grateful | Feel Good Friday/Sunday 101815
I don’t have to be grateful, and I don’t have to write about all the things I am grateful for—but I can, and I am. I am grateful. I am grateful for work, work friends, my first Cirque du Soleil (Kurios), a suite at the Ducks game, two football victories, volleyball wall drills, the gym, dinosaur…
The Lull Is Over | Feel Good Friday 091815
There was this time this late summer, where I had just moved into my place in HB and wasn’t traveling and flag football hadn’t started and my achilles was injured so most working out was out so my weeknights were lazy and my weekends were lazy and I started to wonder if this was what…

Making Space | Feel Good Friday 030515

My Little Life | Feel Good Friday 022715
In my little life, I can walk to the beach, across the street. I can walk to a corner store for something I forgot or a hungover house guest might need, or to one of three excellent restaurants when I’m hungry (Eat Chow ANYtime, Cucina Alessa for fancy, and where would I be without Cappy’s…
Football | Feel Good Friday 022015
My team won the Beach City Sports Premier league championship this past Saturday. We were all very excited; I brought mini bottles of champagne, and we popped them to celebrate. Football has been a big part of my life in Orange County. Playing on the beach almost every weekend almost year-round has been amazing, and winning the…
Feel Good Friday 021315 | On Bicycles and Jeeps
Wheels. I haven’t had good luck with them lately. Sunday morning, the jeep petered out two blocks from my house. A friend came to get me, and I pushed the jeep back to the house—a neighbor popped his head out, asked if I was pushing the jeep for fitness or out of necessity, and finding…
