speaking of summer, tonight we had a BBQ to say a temporary farewell to friends going away from the summer, and so alex and i rode our bikes to and from a picnic spot along the Potomac. riding our bikes home, with the fireflies flickering and the giant full moon above us at dusk, it felt so perfectly summer. i love our life here in DC. really, i do.<br />

<strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Interview by Brad Melekian</span></strong><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>You can’t be a happy person without using your body.</strong> That’s the reason you feel so good after surfing, even if you’ve had a shitty day. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>I started surfing at 16. I made my own board out of balsa.</strong> Eventually I traded the board for a Model A Ford engine. I drove that Model A all over the place—Canada, Wyoming. It was a fair trade. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>There were so few surfers</strong>. I’d drive from the Valley down to Malibu, and guys coming back from Malibu would give you the thumbs up or down. Now they give you the finger. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>The surfing itself hasn’t changed at all.</strong> There’s still a wave and a board and a wetsuit. But the equipment has gotten a lot better. I used to surf Ventura overhead in February with no wetsuit, no leash, and when somebody lost their board, you’d have to follow him in and make sure he made it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>Personally, I try to lead a simple life.</strong> I don’t walk around with my hat on backward looking like a surfer. My Patagonia clothing, some of it is 20 years old. Just because I have a clothing company doesn’t mean I have closets and closets of brand new clothes. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>Sure, it’s a consumer society, but you don’t have to be part of it.</strong> I hardly ever spend any money. Consumerism is just people trying to make themselves happy by consuming. And that’s wrong. Doesn’t work. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>The secret to happiness is to be working at your passion.</strong> If you want to be miserable, lead a desperate life like everybody else where they drag their asses to work everyday because they hate their job. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>My wife and I give 50 percent of our salaries away to charity. </strong>I don’t need the money. I don’t hang out with other businessmen. I’m a surfer for God’s sake. The only reason I hang on to this company is that I’m totally pessimistic about the fate of the planet. I feel like I couldn’t sleep at night unless I felt like I was part of the solution. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>What’s wrong with just accepting</strong> the fact that there’s a beginning and an end to everything? I’m perfectly comfortable that I’m going to die. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>I just live right now.</strong> You ask me about the past, you ask me about the future, the only way to be happy is to be living right now. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>Everybody I know who’s studying the fate of the world is totally pessimistic.</strong> There’s no reason to be optimistic. We’re not going to get a handle on global warming, we’re way too late for that. It’s just a matter of knowing that you’re doing what you can, and so be it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>It’s not too late to start.</strong> I give talks to young people, and I can just see what’s going on in their heads. They’re thinking, “Oh yeah, when I get rich, I’m going to give a bunch of money away.” But it’s all relative. Ten dollars given away now is worth more than a hundred given away ten years from now. So you don’t have to be rich to be a philanthropist, or to do good. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>I’m going to be in that seventh level of hell for using so much jet fuel.</strong> I don’t have the strength of character to say, okay, I’m going to quit traveling. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>The whole history of America</strong> is you despoil your area and then you move west, right? Once you hit the bridge, you become multi-national and screw up the rest of the world. We’ve got to go back to absolute local living. You protect what you love, and how can you love something when you’re just looking for new loves all the time?</span>Alihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00173995023639250378noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7234445001449632799.post-52620044356640292932012-04-20T23:02:00.000-04:002012-04-22T17:52:31.661-04:00iPhone photos lately...<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span">1) Alex got pulled over by the secret service when returning the moving van back to Budget. Seriously. Apparently you can't drive a van or truck within a certain distance to the white house, and I'd sent Alex on an errand nearby our house (which is less than a mile from the white house). Got pulled over, had them check the empty truck, convinced them he was new to town and lost, and luckily got away with just a warning. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span"> <br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span">2) we sold our beloved Bianca. turns out we don't need a scooter here. we walk every place we go. or take the bus. here we are before we parted ways. you can't really see, but i am choking back serious tears. crazy though.... we sold her to a ginger named Alison who goes by Ali. i think she's in good hands. </span></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHABNUkRFBFdek3f7MS4Lfoyk9QwrYEfoOCLbRvvbyytFtb76m98UwixZNTSVeqzObYs_nUpYOezwyTxC1_ZG_MTA_4kxRYDkP2GbXmQy1tybOYZLxNiKpFH_cP_rIrCNfWE_LXMvOWupj/s1600/bianca.JPG"><span class="Apple-style-span"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5643428057671061602" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHABNUkRFBFdek3f7MS4Lfoyk9QwrYEfoOCLbRvvbyytFtb76m98UwixZNTSVeqzObYs_nUpYOezwyTxC1_ZG_MTA_4kxRYDkP2GbXmQy1tybOYZLxNiKpFH_cP_rIrCNfWE_LXMvOWupj/s320/bianca.JPG" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 239px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 320px;" /></span></a><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span">3) i tripped on a corner in Georgetown and fell SO hard, flat on my face. i was talking to my sister Meg at the time, and my phone flew out of my hand and landed about 50 ft away. people came rushing over, wide eyed... so it must have been a pretty spectacular fall. i hardly remember it. but had to walk the rest of the way home with swollen, bruised, and scraped knees and hands. the best part: a guy handed me my phone, and Meg was still talking. :) </span></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span"> <br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span">4) got a job at J.Crew. it's not going to make enough to pay half of our rent payment each month, even if i DON'T buy anything.... so it's going to be complete torture working in one of my favorite stores, with an awesome discount, and not be able to buy things. hmmm. this could be an anti-money making endeavor. i've got to find a better paying job. stat. but, i'm excited to have something to do. i start tuesday. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span"> <br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span">5) found a great store called <a href="http://www.tabletopdc.com/">TableTop</a>. I've been there only 6 times in the 14 days we've lived here. yep, they all know me by name. actually, to them my name is "rug lady" because i bought a chilewich rug. i've been dreaming of this forev</span>er. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Rushmore on Day 1... but we got a little later start than expected. So... we got there and it was definitely too dark to see those faces. We decided to get a hotel room and then see Mt. Rushmore in the morning instead. Thanks to the iPhone, we were able to look online and see how much hotels were in the upcoming towns. Amazingly, South Dakota has expensive hotels! we were looking at anywhere from $150-$300 for the cheap options. Then we drove by this camp ground and thought we'd try staying there. the sign said they had cabins. the office was closed so we turned around and then the owner approached us. I said "do you have any vacant cabins?" he gave me this blank stare. followed by a thought process that was obviously something like "what the hell is this girl talking about..." so i ask, "you do have cabins here, right?" owner guy: "ya, we do... but they've been booked a year in advance. you guys need a place to stay? with the sturgis rally starting this week, everywhere in town will cost ya $300 or more. let me see what i can do." (ah. the sturgis rally. interesting. wish i'd had a heads up about that!) so we rode with him on his golf cart up to the rec hall... which he said we could stay in for the cabin rate. of course. but we were glad to have a place for $50/night. the rec hall even had a blow up mattress. it was tricky at first to figure out, because it was a double decker for 2/3 of it. but, apparently it is supposed to go in front of the couch so you have the true luxury of a pull-out bed experience. isn't it pretty? he'd just built it so people could have weddings there. </div></span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span">the next morning we drove to the monuments. on the way was "crazy horse." i thought it was awesome that it's not done yet, and told alex how cool that we can tell our kids we saw it before it was finished. we went in to the visitor's center and watched this movie about it, learning that they've actually been working on it since 1948, and it's nowhere near finishing. bit off a bit more than they can chew, i see. not only is it slow going, but they rejected over $10 million dollars from the US government to help complete it. something about it started as a private endeavor, and it will finish a private endeavor. anyway... long story short, our children won't ever see crazy horse finished, nor our great grand children. i left feeling like it was the dumbest thing ever. who cares if it is 560 feet high (compared to mt rushmore's 80 ft). if they can't complete it, then they've just desecrated a mountainside. anyway, the visitor's center showed what it's supposed to look like with a scaled model (in the foreground). as you can see beyond, they've done his face and arm, and that's it. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span"> <br />
