I have to say, the last couple of weeks of 2024 were the best ones. Celebrated with family, had some down time at work, finished it up skiing and ringing in NYE with a bunch of friends and a big gaggle of unruly kids.

The rest of it, I felt like I survived. Hung on for dear life at work, had my knee operated on AGAIN and spent essentially two years rehabbing and not feeling like myself. Then we lost our sweet kitty Munch in Sept from cancer, which is still too hard to talk about. Hot on the heels of that though, two little strays wandered in to fill the hole she left behind. Meet Kirby and Squish, our wild dumpster kittens. Did many many "get back in shape" miles with Milo-doggy, who is so sweet and patient with his new roommates.

So today, cruising around the resort with my favorite ski buddy @sethgraham00 , I feel like I can breathe again and let her rip into 2025. Fingers crossed it's a good one.

Made it back to the real world after 10 days in Patagonia, what a wild, incredible place. 10/10 would recommend a vacation to the end of civilization were your phone doesn't work

Santiago > Puerto Natales > Punta Arenas > Cape Horn > Ushuaia > Buenos Aires > Atlanta > LAX > Mammoth

@sethgraham00 took this photo at the finish line Sunday morning and it may be one of my favorites of all time. It captured just about everything in one still shot. My broken body. My son and his love. Darkness and the stillness of the morning before dawn. Pure fucking grit, guts and determination that ended in this moment where I could finally be done.

There was a miracle on E-Street as I ran into my old college buddy, Seth Graham, at the Springsteen concert at T-Mobile Arena on Friday. Seth and I went to U Albany together and we were obsessed with hardcore punk music. We traveled all over the northeast and went to a ton of shows. We even formed a band called Turnbuckle. Seth was the guitarist and I sang/screamed. It was short lived but it was a damn good time. We stayed in contact via social media, but it’s been at least 24 years since we’ve seen each other. He was sitting in the section next to us at the concert and seeing him was a highlight of an already legendary night. Bruce Springsteen, uniting old friends and the masses through live music! 👐🏼 #Respect #Turnbuckle #Reunion #UAlbany #Springsteen #BruceSpringsteen #TheBoss #Vegas #LasVegas

While we're all still doing the lookbacks, here are 2023's notable shenanigans

January - 17 feet of snow in 16 days to start the year off with an unrelenting barrage of snow
February - idk, we shoveled and ran snowblowers a LOT
March - heli skiing in Canada at a kick-ass lodge (and more shoveling)
April - got hitched! Super fun day, 10/10 would recommend a courthouse "not wedding"
May - fulkerson osteotomy #2 + 2.5cm patellar 🔪, some lateral tissue lengthening, and bone spur removal
June - no idea, I was on drugs. You tell me?
July - re-learned how to walk for the 3rd time
Aug - turned 40. That's 3 big enough things for one year, thank you very much
Sept/Oct/Nov - fall things
Dec - waited on more snow, celebrated the holidays with no COVID interruptions this year ❄️

🎶 All the fall things 🎶

Not sure how we always take the best photos of the year AFTER I've printed holiday cards, but here we are.

Thankful for these two 🧡

In July 2006 I went on a six week trip to Indonesia with my great friend, Daniel Bobis.

It was the best surf trip I’ve ever taken.

We spent a few weeks in Bali & got great waves. Then we did a boat trip out of Bali for a week, on a boat owned by a Balinese pirate named Doggy the Man. The bunk I had in the hull was near the engine & I inhaled diesel fumes while I slept for a full week. But it was so worth it! We scored Desert Point 2x overhead & so perfect that it was like a dream. After that we got a massive swell at G-Land, 2-3x overhead, a close second to Desert Point in its perfection.

Danny was a 7th grade math teacher from Long Island, he played drums in a punk band, he was sober & proud of it, he loved hip hop & especially Mob Deep, & he had so much stoke & energy & laughter.

People sometimes would ask him what his ethnicity was, bc of his dark skin & Long Island accent & NYC rap-influenced dressing style. Once someone asked him if he was mulato & he responded, “Nah son. Jewish.” He was as classic as they come.

Danny died 12 years ago today, on July 24, 2011. He was surfing a remote wave in South Sumatra & apparently it was 2x overhead & he pulled into a huge tube, & got clipped & wiped out. It’s likely he hit his head on the reef, was knocked unconscious & drowned.

I’ve thought a lot about his death these past 12 years. Despite the shock & pain his early departure caused so many family, friends, loved one, & his then wife, Danny absolutely loved surfing & getting tubed. & he died, without knowing it was coming, but full bore into the face & embrace in doing what he loved. I think if I had a choice on how I exit, those would be some of the conditions I’d hope for.

His presence has always felt close, & warm, & like a keeper of my personal safety.

I carry Danny in my heart, as do many others. I hope reading this today brings you a glimpse into something similar for yourself. Life is precious, & beautiful, & unpredictable, & I view Danny’s life an example of how to live in life’s awesomeness & mystery with arms wide open.

Love ya, my brother.
