In lieu of a full-blown Photo Friday, I give you this to look forward to upon my gallant return to writing: Appropriately captioned: An Ass and His Camel. Taken somewhere along the West Bank, because I’m a rebel like that. Don’t forget to enter the Shutterfly photobook contest by 9am Monday morning! *Shot with a [...]

OK, I lied. While I’m on a bit of a hiatus for my own peace of mind—and the fact that I’ve been traveling for three weeks straight from the Middle East to Asia and everywhere in between, and quite frankly am burnt out on all things writing-related, not to mention finding it hard to secure [...]
Time Out

I’m taking a bit of a hiatus for the foreseeable future. I’ll be back when I’m back. It might be a week, it might be several, that’s all I can say with authority really. xo, Kristin

If I were the Army, I’d put a gun up here. Oh wait, that’s right. They did! Sixteen inchers in fact. The bullets weighed 2000 lbs and had a range of almost 30 miles. Dude, that’s a BIG gun. Apparently, San Francisco never had to fire these weapons in anger so, in keeping with military [...]

And it was all thanks to Günter Schabowski, a spokesperson for the politburo, who made the mistake of telling the press that [...]

Published November 2009, Islands magazine The Cook Islands are no cattle ranch. But that didn’t stop born- and-bred rancher Rondo Perkins from investing in a hotel there in 2000.

This post is not really about the place, but the person. On Tuesday, I went up to Scott’s parents’ house for some crafting and for Joan to help me put together my save-the-dates (more on that process soon). On Wednesday, Joan fell terribly ill and had to cancel on our “girlfriend time” with five-year-old Kiva [...]
Race Days: That Time I Ran a Half Without Training
November 2, 2009 By 21 Comments
Yesterday started out one cold and foggy morning. It was probably fitting for all those people I saw returning to their homes after a wild Halloween out at the same time I was rising to start my day. But not for me: Every race I’ve ever run in San Francisco has been relentlessly foggy, which [...]
