When I was little my mother gave me a fork. It was an antique fork. She told me to only eat pork with this fork. But I'm a vegetarian. So I gave the fork to this friend of mine who I knew loved to eat bacon. This friend put bacon on everything, including non-food things like the dashboard of her car and bacon bits sprinkled onto wildflowers that grew on the fence in her backyard. She loved the smell of bacon and it wanted to smell it as often as possible. I told this friend that she can only use this fork to eat pork. And the friend thanked me very much. She said thank you for this pork fork, friend. I still think about this friend and wonder if she’s using the fork to eat pork. Who knows.

This is called the NEW WAY™ and it is right.
I am going to make content like never before. Like, hey wanna see a picture of my lunch? OK, it's right here.
I'm about to eat lunch
During the work week especially, religiously, I would queue up his blog and his vlog and I would eat my lunch as I read about his journey and watched his daily videos. I'm about to eat lunch now and Mark Baumer is gone. There will be no more posts, no more content. This is so sad.
The battle of Besiktas & Alanyaspor at Alanya Oba Stadium in Turkey…is nigh
Bless you, sweet boys. Sweet boys on both sides. My sweet Turkish boys.

Today's forthcoming LIFECAST video is in dedication to Mark. Please donate to the cause Mark was championing at youcaring.com/barefoot if you can.
RIP Mark Baumer
I'm feeling pretty devastated right now. There was no bigger creative influence in my life than the writer and artist and poet Mark Baumer. His daily dispatches were a true highlight of my day. Mark was struck and kicked by a car walking across america raising awareness and money for climate change, and it's left me feeling insanely empty.

On not sleeping and getting three new tires in Connecticut
It's like a tiny Maine peppered with pockets of gray industry, close enough to one another so that you never feel disconnected to current urban culture. It has so much of no identity that its identity is nothingness. Their most notable sports things are a nearly unbeatable womens basketball team and a defunct pro hockey franchise with a badass logo. It has no real city but plenty of worthy wannabes, a baker's dozen of the poor man's Des Moines, though who's been to Des Moines for that matter.
I've spent time in West Hartford, the largest place on the above list which doesn't warrant the funny "(city)" qualifier. It's a safe, fine, white place. More New England than Tri-State. My wife's college roommate lives there with her husband and two young children.
On the way up to visit this past weekend, we got a bubble in our front right tire. That's bad. Your car can turn into an inferno and you can become part of the pretty highway landscape on, oh IDK, the Merritt Parkway.
On Sunday, when I woke up from a mostly sleepless night (is there a word for waking up when you don't sleep?), one of our back tires was nearly 100% flat.
I wish a car didn't need tires but existed entirely on air and there was no metal and no car and actually we just teleported everywhere.
