Good times with Bret Anthony Johnston, my skate homie and acclaimed novelist. Growing up, I thought writers and skaters were the two coolest kinds of people on all of planet earth. Now I'm 47 getting a doubles clip with an author I admire. An ordinary day is extraordinary when you appreciate it.

First Bluesky footy is with my dude Charlie who is 57 and therefore my hero, life coach and aspiration for future skateboarding.
