When not working you might find me...

Making & Listening to Music - I play and compose on the acoustic guitar, but also dabble on the mandolin, and sometimes electric bass, dulcimer, and violin. I'm fortunate to be married to Anne Hurley, an incredible cello player, and also to have many talented singer songwriter friends. We just finished a CD project, entitled Madeleine Bay.

Artists in my playlist this week include: Carrie Newcomer, David Rawlings (The Machine), Krista Detor, Dar Williams, Regina Spektor, and Me!.

Sailing - This past summer my Anne & I went for a two week sailing trip up to Desolation Sound, BC. We sailed out of Bellingham, WA on a Bavaria 34 with two kayaks lashed on deck, meandered through the Gulf Islands, and up along the Sunshine Coast and back. In 2008 we sailed through the North Channel of Lake Huron with Mark Longacre and our daughter, Madeline. Past cruises include: 2 weeks up BC's Sunshine Coast (2007), Lake Michigan (2006), and Maine (2005).

Jim's Miscellaneous sailing and paddling links.

Kayaking - If there's no wind for sailing, then the conditions are usually good for paddling.

Running - I especially love trail running as it's easy on the feet and a great way to lose cars and get into the woods. Sometimes I run with the Blooming Fools Hash House Harriers (BFH3). It's a great way to meet nice people who'll drink all your beer. If you like running and have an ounce of humor, you ought to try hashing some time. (My hash alias is "Ship for Brains") All you need is half a mind to hash! On On to the BFH3.

Volunteering - I've just finished serving On the Lotus Board (Lotus Education and Arts Foundation ). They are an incredibly well-run organization that I will continue to support in the future.
