#extremesitting
June 22 in Anzo Borrego State Park, Ca.
13 hours and 58 minutes. High temp of 96.
A challenging test of endurance.
The empty chair was sometimes occupied by Peter Wick of Azzurri Productions, producing a new extreme sitting documentary.
What a great sport!

#Ski season is mostly over. But in case you're looking at taking it up or getting better next year. After all, it is pass-buying season.

@CBSGolf @CBSGolfNOW Jim Nantz just said Jack Nicklaus never went into the water on 12 at Augusta after 1959. That's not right. I remember second round circa 1990 when Jack came to 12 near the lead. Playing with Watson. Went in the water at least once. Maybe twice. Quad.

I aim to bring the grueling sport of #extremesitting to Chile's Atacama desert, the highest and driest desert on the planet. Award winning filmmaker Peter Wick plans to be there.
Just five days to go in our crowd fund!

Digital vaccinations records were all the rage during Covid. The work done then and since could set the stage in case they are needed again. @TravelWeeklyUS

"A damn fine place to sit is what this place is."

The Inflation Reduction Act offered up $291 million for aviation emissions reductions initiatives. The FAA has now doled out the grants. @travelweeklyus https://t.co/Dil53kCgie
