My good friend and fellow colorist in LA, one of the hardest working and real people in this world I'm fortunate enough to know, Marcelo Aprile.

-------------------------

He was born and raised in Brazil, moved the US at 20 years old to help the future for himself and his family.   Then returned to Brazil with skills he pushed hard for here in the states, overcoming many obstacles that engulf you in Los Angeles, and in post production he thrived.  Then, returned yet again to the US, and his journey like many of ours is absolutely no straight line.

Was happy to have more memories shared with Diego from a friend.

-------------------------

Enjoy and relish your hobbies and creative outlets, they are worth much more than you realize.

Another song by my favorite rapper Aesop Rock, from the album Spirit World Field Guide.  I do recommend.

Here's link to the video and the lyrics.

One of the most under appreciated poets of our time.

Wow....seeing people again.  Very strange indeed.  But man am I happy to have had the forced opportunity this past year to straighten things out I had overlooked and ignored for too long.  Feeling better about where we are and how my family pulled through this time with strength and positivity that will continue to grow.  

---------------------

With so much happening so fast, I forgot to talk about my favorite part of visiting my favorite park in San Antonio, Yanaguana Park (link below).  Diego and I played ping pong outside while Sofia and Melissa played near the giant splash pad.  Another day where we got it right, in our eyes, in what we want for us as a family.  Time.  Time together.

Exploring this book has been enlightening, and definitely deepened my knowledge of what dedication to spreading health, happiness and strength looks like.  I first read Becoming the Iceman awhile back, and it inspired me then, but this book further explained the updates to what the WHM is capable of.

Here is a link to the book, and the artist that I hired to draw the picture of Wim.

Totally random convo, using Mind Games by Michael Powell as a conversation starter.  Spring Break 2021 is over, the feeling this year versus spring break 2020 is much, much different.  At this time last year, we were all spraying door handles, changes hand towels every 10 seconds, and wiping down every bag and every grocery coming into the house.  We were bringing up the battle gates and filling the moats.  But this year, after much has been learned, the weight is beginning to lift, and I foresee a great future ahead.

Get sleep, drink water, get in some sunshine, and enjoy yourselves out there.

Hello Happy Sunday.  Today I sat with Sofia and just went over what we did this weekend, and as unimportant as it may seem on the outset, in my opinion its definitely not.  We forget things quite quickly being humans in this world, and to miss reminiscing about 24 hours ago is a good thing.  We got to see a farm that has been around since 2004, and that provides our weekly organic veggies.  The kids got to run down the long dirt paths and be surrounded in the fields.  

----------------

We bought veggie starts and planted them in our small garden which I hope proves successful this year.  Then went to McKinney Roughs which was an amazing space with way more than expected.  Zip lines we'll have to do on next trip there.  Walking in nature with good friends and our kids was a very special day to not forget.

There is always more to learn and I hope you gain as much as I did from his endless and compassion for the world and our society as a whole.  He lives in line with his values and pursues expanding his knowledge always.  If you are ever planning to go on a short or long expedition, find this wonderful person and go for it.

Well well isn't time to do some adulting one sided reading.  You get to hear my soothing voice read through "Nudge" by Richard Thaler and Cass Sunstein.  Very interesting read, and most surprising, it nudged me to action.

At end is short catch up with the kids which I hope you enjoy.

A big smile on Diego's face, that what I do this for.  Having close friends with such amazing lives and talents beyond what can be touched on in an hour.  I look forward more conversations with Robert, who shares experiences from childhood to current adulthood about Baja Mexico off-road racing, building pre-runners, racing dirt bikes, and pushing himself further every step of the way. 

----

He rides and races for fun, but is also a highly credited camera operator and film producer on films such as "Driving Dirty", "Formula Drift", and "Suzuki Speaks" to name a few.
