Look at me, is this the way I've always been?

It's been raining more or less nonstop here and summer hasn't really started yet.
So I'm just pretending I'm back in Portland and been riding my bike in the rain, especially as I'm trying to help Andrew train for his Iowa ride.
Shout out to Brooklyn Bike & Board for keeping this baby in tune.

Plus, to help keep summery spirits up, I've been listening a ton to the new Passion Pit album, which is cheery as all get out.

I'm not gonna let this get me down.

More documentation of my 2200 mile journey from LA to Milwaukee - my friend Maxwell captures me and the mood, pre-driving, across the country.
If you can make out the graffiti, it says "Heavy".
Yep.
Sure was.
As Dylan says, you just gotta keep your hand on the plow.

Two hours of pushin' broom buys an eight by twelve four-bit room. I'm a man of means by no means. King of the road.

Finally back in New York after a wild journey that included driving a 22' Penske truck loaded up with all my belongings from LA to Milwaukee with my pops riding shotgun and trading off with me when I got tired.

And now I'm just in my office, getting caught up on work and finally starting to really feel this Bat For Lashes album, that at first, I really didn't care for but which currently has me under its' spell.
