It’s right around 20 degrees outside this morning. I just walked the dogs. The difference between 40, where it’s been, on average, pretty much since October, and 20, is significant, especially with the wind chill, which makes it feel even colder. 20 is face-numbingly cold; 40 is go outside in flip-flops weather. 20 is too […]

It’s amazing what you can accomplish when you set your mind to it. The human spirit truly is amazing. As much of a pain as it’s been these past three days producing 100 Faces of Marin — and as daunting and overwhelming as it has often seemed — I truly believe that you can accomplish […]

What an intense weekend. We spent about 28 hours on Saturday and Sunday working on the editing and production of 100 Faces of Marin. And we still have at least 8 hours to go tonight and tomorrow night. Of course, we also have to go to our day jobs. Meanwhile, the temperature continues to drop […]
