My 13-Year Love Affair With The Hunters Point Gantry Crane (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This is the Hunter’s Point Gantry Crane. It stands over 400 feet tall and weighs 8,400 tons. It’s big. Like, really big. And if it seems like I’m just cribbing that description from www.hunterspointcrane.com, don’t worry… that’s my website. <a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!kTfM!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8d9e76bf-1daa-4ef1-a349-ffd0b41f0f00_5015x3247.jpeg
Just Give The Compliment (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A while back I was helping my friend Parker with her home renovation. She’s got an old house up the coast with a lot of… character.

Giant Sequoia Climb (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Back in February I mentioned that my friend Tom and I were gearing up to climb a giant sequoia and spend a night in the canopy like a couple of owls. I’m a big believer in sharing novel experiences with friends1 and Tom and I have climbed some trees together and love an adventure, and I dig owls, so this really hit the notes. We planned to sleep in hammocks and use
