Ran my first half marathon race around the beautiful Monterey Bay environs.
Me running at the ~8 mile mark, waving. Selfie at the start of the race. Strava screengrab showing the rout, 1 hour 56 minute time. Also personal record.

Peter Blake’s foreword to Paolo Solteri’s Arcology has a similar energy…
Foreword It has never been very clear to me why a book requires a foreword, If the reason is that the body of the book is not speak very well for the body of the book. And if the reason is that the wook requires some sort or endorse book salesman, i.e., an obviously interested party. (No-body is ever fooled by ostensibly "disinterested parties".) I am not really in a position to write a traditional foreword to Paolo soleri's book. First, because am not sure understand it-and so I cannot possibly interpret it with authority. (I am awed by it.) And, second, because I am not a disinterested party: I am his friend. Having disqualified myself, let me proceed with the foreword. Who is Soleri? Answer: He is a wiry, medium-height man around fifty who was born in Torino, in Northern Italy, where he received his Doctorate in architecture. After World War II, he came to the United States and became apprenticed to Frank Lloyd Wright.
