How far away from your birthplace do you live now? (inspired from a fb post)

So on Tuesday the question: How far away from your birthplace do you live now came up on facebook and I must say i saw a lot of answers i was not expecting.  I noticed a lot of people have moved quite a bit and far from their home town, so on that note... I decided to pitch in a write a blog post. 

(I would like to thank those of you that contributed to this question. If you click on the image it will take you to the answers of these amazing peeps! )

The where I live question: i currently am basing out of the west village of new york, but am soon headed to a short stint in the tetons to work on a little stop-motion video (and hopefully see some special friends). i officially reside in washington state, as I have some family responsibilities with a mother with alzheimer's who lives on whidbey island there. my car is registered in wyoming, and i rent out a place in boulder so i can still stay there from time to time. is home where your therapist lives? cause he's in boulder. i ask you.

i'm originally from Corona del Mar, California. And while the place catches a lot of heat for being known of the most externally-oriented places on the planet, I will beg to differ that you can find soulful people anywhere. Newport among em. And well, the chances of these lovely individuals just possibly having a newly shaped nose or above average sized implants, well that's just comes with the territory. But here's why I will always return: the smell of the sage in that stretch of coast between Newport and Laguna. And night blooming jasmine on evening walks. Tacos at Wahoo's, and the sound of crashing waves at the Wedge.

And what's not to love about getting the best beachy hair highlights in the world from a woman named Anja? 
Hope you enjoyed it and feel free to share your thoughts or maybe even your own story!

if you would have a super power, what would it be?

To transform those moments with loved ones, where when the gap feels too wide between you, you can actually close it. 

What would yours be?

Couldn't help adding this Illustration! :-)))))

What is your perfect idea of sanctuary? Is it real or imaginary?

My current sanctuary is this tiny apartment I call home right now. It's so small, but flooded with light and a little sense of whimsy and the greatest neighbor ever. And even now in the middle of New York City I can hear birds chirp just  outside my porch. Next to that, I would pick my friend Buckley's yurt in Wyoming -- staring up at the Grand, making hot chocolate or something. Top pics. As for in my mind's eye,  my other sanctuary is this large canyon in the Wind River mountains where in addition to the large formation of granite near  and big sky near Raid Peak, there is also this perfect creek where you can soak your feet -- hot and tired from walking all day. This tiny creek running through this explosive, expansive canyon. Perfectly quiet. Perfectly perfect.

My thoughts of the Super Bowl (part II)

Here was my Super Bowl. My thoughts during game -- between me and me and then shared via email with Batkin.  

I don't know why I am pulling for the Packers, but I am pulling for the Packers. i wonder if Batkin is watching. I wonder if he's yelling at the T.V. Are all those colored lines generated by the T.V. people. How do they do that. Seemed like that one guy held onto the ball long enough to not call it an incomplete, but maybe i only think that because I saw it in slo-mo, so it seems longer to me. Doesn't that one big guys' curly hair sticking out of his helmut ever get caught when he's tackling/being tackled. How is that not a hazard. How many coaches do they have for heaven's sake. i mean really I would like to know. How do they keep each team from intercepting the airwaves for the communications on those Motorola headsets. 

Surely they've thought that one through. i wonder if  Batkin is wearing a ball cap while he watches. Is he yelling at the t.v. now.  Is it really true what they say about the big guys with the big guts still having really low body fat, seriously how can that be. I hope the music sounds better live than what we are hearing. These commercials aren't so great, except maybe the one about Coke and the two border guards that are supposed to be in some made up Kazakhastan. I wonder if Batkin is watching the game somewhere woody.*** Why did they let both teams wear yellow pants, with just differences in socks and stripes. Seems like they could have worked that out ahead of time. One simple phone call. Fergie's looking a little chubby in her Swarovski crystal football getup. 

*** Note to reader: ('woody' refers to stupid joke involving the Olive Garden, bad food, and out of date interiors,  and Batkin's limited vocabulary when describing interiors where he finds himself. When I asked him what some place looked like, he said, 'woody.' Pathetic. Enough said. But I promise you, Batkin does not have the taste of say a Dwell reader, or an Architectural Digest subscriber for that matter..)
