Don’t Save the Whales
There is no cause so noble that you should sacrifice your children to its altar. Shame on you.
Wearing Your Collar Down is for Poor People
Here is the original Collars Up screed. No, it's not me. I am not I.M. Adick, III.
Godspeed is between 2.9 and 8 knots
A reflection on a two-month sailing trip from Acapulco to Los Angeles on a 42-foot Jeanneau catamaran. Almost two-years-ago now.
Buca di Beppo Washington, D.C.
If you really must abuse yourself with delicious platefulls of spicy Italian food in a round room around a round table with a lazy Susan and a centerpiece in the form of a plaster bust of His Holy Father John Paul II in a lucite box, then you really need to reserve the Pope Room at Buca di Beppo.
America Does Not Go Abroad in Search of Monsters to Destroy
I wrote this on February 14, 2005, but it’s as true now as it’s ever been.
Fake it ‘Til You Make It
There is a slogan I remembered this morning which brought everything together for me: fake it ‘til you make it. A couple years ago I suffered from obesity, high blood pressure, weak knees, and bad habits. I decided to take this pithy slogan and pretended to be a healthy and see what would happen.
Chris the Crêpier
Every man's man has to have at least one thing he cooks—something he brags about and is known for, at least in the family. My dad made "hash" which was a mixture of corned beef hash from a can, pan-fried leftover baked potato from the night before, and sometimes, onion. Many men are known for their waffles or their pancakes, and some are known for their Sunday fry ups. Well, let me tell you about the moment I knew I would make crêpes my signature dish.
Effective PR Blogging
How to develop an effective public relations (PR) blog strategy for your company or organization.
Running Again
I spent my entire evening getting caught up on work at the office and then pulled myself off the workstation and sulked home. I was tired and felt worn out; although I was not fatigued. Before anything else, I pulled on my orange Saucony Jazz runners and some togs, stretched slowly, and then hit the pavement.

Health Begot Health; Trust Begot Trust; Faith Begot Faith
There is a slogan I remembered this morning which brought everything together for me: fake it ‘til you make it.
Domke F-2 Reviewed
The most wonderful bag I have ever owned for my cameras. Cannot beat the Domke F-2. I have owned my black canvas F-2 since 1994, which makes my bag 9 and a half years old.
Wireless is Heavenly
I do most of my work from the various charming confines of coffee houses like Murkey Coffee (nee Stompin' Grounds) and Starbucks.
Katja Scholz mentioned in the Washington Times
Our favorite Yogini, Doula, and HypnoBirthing guru, Katya Scholz (nee Katja), is mentioned in the following article "Deliverance from the pain" by Michelle Rothman of the Washington Times. Kudos to Katja!
Chris as Morning Person? Believe It!
The changes in my life have been dazzling, especially for me. Now I am a morning person.
Run, Abraham, Run!
I have been running for about 45 minutes to an hour every morning for weeks now and every run is as fulfilling as the last.
Washington Sports Club
I spend more time at the gym than I care to mention. Just about every night, sometimes every other. I am about to go now. Its not as stultifying as it sounds.
Addicted
I just quit the gym. I am addicted to running. Running takes a long time, so I can only do one or the other, and the Washington Sports Club loses this battle. There is nothing like running, to be sure.
A Simple Solution
I have always had a terrible time keeping my space clean and organized. Everyone knows that who knows me.

Las Hadas
Las Hadas is the most beautiful resort on planet Earth and you can see it thanks to Chris and Kerri McCanna!
Director of Sales at eResources
Yesterday at lunch I accepted a position as a salesman for eResources LLC.
Bahía Tortuga
Mark and I sailed Kinship II from Cabo – the last place from which I reported – to a small fishing village named Bahía Tortuga, or Turtle Bay. Turtle Bay was a reluctant stop. We wanted to come in, fuel up, and then head out. Charlie’s Charts recommended Jorge, and he was the first person to zip up the Kinship in his outboard.
Poetry Published in Russia
Years and years ago I was asked if I was willing to have some of my poems published on a website in Russia. I was willing. They're now closed so I replicated them here.
Sailing for Lent
My spiritual experience of sailing during Lent during my Jesus year birthday of 33 and all the important lessons and experience I have been lucky to have as a result.
Aborted our Sail out of Cabo
Mark has never done it and neither of us is the type, but either the people we have met in Cabo are pulling major magic or we forgot to weigh anchor because we left Cabo San Lucas and then came right back. It was 12 hours of being on a stationary bike at sea: lots of peddling but we weren't going anywhere.
