Sad News

I’m sad to share the news that my wife, Melissa Bacon, passed away this last weekend after a battle with cancer. She was amazing beyond words. For those in the Seattle area, we will be having a celebration of her life. Details here A Celebration of Melissa Bacon.

Do you realize that you have the most beautiful face
Do you realize we’re floating in space,
Do you realize that happiness makes you cry
Do you realize that everyone you know someday will die
And instead of saying all of your goodbyes, let them know
You realize that life goes fast
It’s hard to make the good things last
You realize the sun doesn’t go down
It’s just an illusion caused by the world spinning round
Do you realize, oh, oh, oh?
Do you realize that everyone you know
Someday will die?
And instead of saying all of your goodbyes, let them know
You realize that life goes fast
It’s hard to make the good things last
You realize the sun doesn’t go down
It’s just an illusion caused by the world spinning round
Do you realize that you have the most beautiful face
Do you realize?

Lewis Butte Circle trail run

Got a chance to run around Lewis Butte this weekend. Ideally one should probably start at the Riser lake parking lot so that most of the climb is at the beginning.
