    I sail with Wombat, I didn't do the Mac but did just about every other regata. I hope to do frost bites this fall if I make some time.

    Rick is an amazing sailor, but we never have much time to talk about art, unless we are talking about his father Art.

    I am currently at Columbia for my Bachelors in Cinematography and have a while to apply for grad school for my MFA. I have been thinking USC if I do not stay in here.

    I have not done a century yet, the furthest I have ridden in one day was 60 miles and I did that twice over a weekend for a few months.

    Does it worry you that all those lovely pictures seem to show a bike that has had its owner transported by putti, apotheosized, or taken by aliens?

    actually, now that I look more carefully, I see that in some cases the rider was rendered invisible, while in another, transformed into a tree-- and a lovely tree at that...
