There’s a certain badassery that comes with owning a motorcycle. Think Peter Fonda in Easy Rider and Marlon Brando in The Wild One. All these years I’ve been pedaling my ass across the country I never fully understood my throttle twisting friends… until recently.
In early June I purchased my very first motorcycle. It [...]

Published: September 18th, 2007Few people know I’ve taken two beginner’s salsa classes since January. Andrea offered to coordinate the registration and finances, so I took her up on the deal since it was something I’ve wanted to do for quite some time.
A cycle of classes was typically seven weeks long, an hour every Wednesday, with weeks 1-3 learning [...]
Have I told you the harrowing tales from last weekend’s wilderness escape? About evading man-eating mountain lions? And slipping off the trail, dangling precariously by a root with one hand, while rocks tumbled hundreds of feet to a rocky gorge below? You sick bastard. I did no such things.

Since October 2004, Warren has received thousands of anonymous postcards which have been featured in galleries, the popular music video for the All-American Rejects’ “Dirty Little Secret,” and, most recently, in the bestselling book [...]
Published: April 1st, 2007There’s a trail less than fifteen miles east of Interstate 5 that I consider epic. Just down Highway 74, it’s twenty miles of out-and-back (or rather, up and down) that commands stamina, concentration, split second reaction time, and plenty of guts. The summer months bring temperatures well into the hundreds that have baked my brain [...]
Published: January 21st, 2006It’s day twelve in Pierre, South Dakota and I’ve rendezvoused with Dale for the last three days of my tour. We’ve booked rooms at the Governor’s Inn (whirlpool, indoor pool, and kick ass continental breakfast included) and are going over our route through um-teen miles of road construction and a few Indian reservations.
The days are [...]
