100 Day Project / Day 79: Santi! This beautiful man is married to my best friend (see Day 33) and I adore him. Santi is so many things - a total free spirit, an amazing chef, a scholar, the life of the party, and a very smart, very loving and patient man who works hard to get what he wants in life. I cannot imagine a better partner for Jasmina. I love you so much Santi!
100 Day Project / Day 78: Meet Ariel Cordero, a very kind employee at the RDU airport. I asked two other people here if I could take their photo and they both shot me down. So I was feeling pretty lame when I walked up to Ariel, but she enthusiastically agreed to be photographed. I asked her what it's like to work at the airport. "It's stressful! Everyone is always losing stuff and no one has time to talk. I've been working here for a year but I'm planning to move to Montreal in the next six months. I got a job working for a Canadian airline up there and I'm really excited about it. My husband and I - we don't really want to raise our children in America right now - I know that sounds crazy - but we just think Canada will be a more friendly place to raise a family. Plus the schools there are really good! They start teaching French in kindergarten!" I told her that didn't sound like a crazy idea at all.
100 Day Project / Day 77: Owen! This wonderful human befriended me during a little rough patch a few years back. I was getting over a heart break and Owen brought so much joy to my life. We spent a summer going on long runs together and staying up til the early morning and it was good. Now we're in a different phase of life and I don't see Owen as much but when I do see him, I can't help but smile. So I went out to Chatham yesterday to visit this old friend and we talked for a while about the benefits of being out in the country and living alone for a little bit. And it was good.
100 Day Project / Day 76: Papa Parker. My favorite story about my dad is the perfect illustration of my favorite life philosophy - always do what you say you're gonna do. When he was five years old, my dad looked up in the sky and said "I want to be a pilot when I grow up." And he did just that. When Austin and I were little, our dad always told us that we could do anything we set our minds to. He always encouraged us to follow our dreams and be true to ourselves. It wasn't until later in life that I realized many kids don't hear those things as they grow up. The older I get, the more and more I appreciate both of our parents.
100 Day Project / Day 75: Garrett Windle. This man holds a very special place in my heart. He was my first friend when I moved to Chapel Hill, almost a decade ago. When I met Garrett, he had just dropped out of college, didn't have a job, and was living out of his car. Since then, Garrett has served five years in the marine corps, graduated from college, fell in love with and got engaged to a smart, beautiful woman, and in August he'll start his first year of law school at Georgetown (on a full ride scholarship). Talk about started from the bottom, now we here. And all along the way, Garrett has remained his charming, charismatic self. I am so honored to know this guy and to be able to call him one of my best friends. I love you like a brother G.
100 Day Project / Day 74: the constant sunshine in my life - Katelyn Bryant-Comstock. The story of how KBC and I became friends is one of my favorites. I had met her (very briefly, at a party or something) through Jasmina and Jenny my freshman year of college. One weekend Jasmina and Jenny were out of town, and after spending an inordinate amount of time at peznsoto's, I was really craving some good female energy. So I called up Katelyn and asked what she was doing that night. "Oh I'm actually about to go up to Franklin Street to hand out condoms! Wanna come??" Aaaaand the rest is history. KBC has been so many things to me over the years - my dance partner, my running buddy, and one of my very dearest friends. She is an overflowing fountain of joy, a "walking celebration" if you will.
100 Day Project / Day 73: Meet Bernard Obie, a third generation farmer and member of the Durham Farmers' Market Board. Obie is an incredibly kind, spiritual individual who cares deeply about food and nutrition and community. At the market's inaugural Summer Solstice dinner last night, Obie gave a beautiful blessing about the universality of food and the connection it creates between us as humans. "It's all about the food y'all. Food brings us together - in times of celebration and in times of sorrow. This evening, we are gathered here to celebrate our wonderful market. In South Carolina tonight, people are taking plates of food to families in mourning. Good food doesn't just nourish our bodies, it feeds our souls. It has healing powers. It's all about the food."
100 Day Project / Day 72: Meet Rob Holliday, another one of my favorite colleagues. If you've ever heard me talk about the awesome people I work with at UNC, then you've heard me talk about Rob. He is an incredibly talented videographer and I've had the great pleasure of collaborating with him on several projects. Rob is also full of good stories and I can easily spend hours talking to him. One of my favorite Rob stories is about his truck. This 1987 Ford F-150 originally belonged to his grandfather, and some of Rob's favorite childhood memories include riding around town in it. After his grandfather passed away, Rob inherited the truck and had it restored to the beauty that it is today. Look at that custom Carolina blue paint job! It's always easy to spot Rob driving around town (I often pass him on my bike on my way to work in the morning). Just one of the many things I love about living in Chapel Hill.
100 Day Project / Day 71: This dashing southern gentleman is a dear friend and today is his birthday! Instead of going out to the bar and assuming friends would buy him drinks, Tristan brought this magnum bottle of champagne to the bar (with the bar owner's permission - gotta love Linda’s) so that he could pour delicious champagne for his friends all night. That's the kind of guy Tristan is. I love you so much darling and I hope this next year of life is the best yet.
100 Day Project / Day 70: another neighborhood shot. And it turns out this kid is my neighbor - he lives right around the corner. Jay is a very polite 16-year-old and he's been playing basketball since he was 5. "So are you good?" I asked him. "You must be good." He said, "I mean, I don't wanna brag, but yeah, I think I'm good."
100 Day Project / Day 69: Reppin the neighborhood on this one. Here we are right in front of my house. I was coming back from a walk with Tar (carrying my camera with me) and this kid said "hey that's a good lookin dog" and I said "can I take your photo??" I still haven't figured out how to play it cool when approaching strangers with my camera. But whatever. Tyrin was super sweet.
100 Day Project / Day 68: Maddy! This kid is awesome. She's Kerry's daughter (see day 64) and she's so vivacious. In 10-15 years, Maddy is gonna be the life of the party.
100 Day Project / Day 67: Welcome to Greenfield, Ohio. Meet Adam Garman, one of my favorite cousins. I love Adam dearly. Like his brothers, he is hilarious, fun, and honest. And he always shows me a good time. The last time I visited Ohio he took me to a demolition derby, and on Saturday night he took me to a biker rally. Love that shit. Since I had to make a 10 hour drive on Sunday, I was apologizing to Adam for not being able to stay out and party with him all night. "Don't worry sweetheart," he said. "We've got the rest of our lives to party together." Hell yes.
100 Day Project / Day 66: I have the utmost respect for my grandfather, Robert Parker. He is a World War II veteran, a pilot, an electrician, a Union man, a husband, a father, a grandfather, and a great-grandfather. He has been married to my grandmother since he was 18 and this year he turns 91. After I took his photo, I was remarking on how good he looks and feels at age 90. He said,"well, I never smoked, we eat pretty good, and I still exercise every day. And I think that has a lot to do with it."
100 Day Project / Day 65: Meet the matriarch of our family, Joan Parker. Few people are as patient, generous and compassionate as this wonderful woman is. She is the proud mother of two children, five grandchildren, and four (soon five) great-grandchildren. A few years back I was talking to her about great-grandchildren and she said, "I never thought I'd be a great-grandmother. I just didn't think I'd live this long."
100 Day Project / Day 64: Meet Kerry Irish, an amazing colleague and a wonderful friend. Kerry is the person I stay with every time I go to Morehead City for work. Being from the south, I know a lot of very kind, hospitable people but Kerry is without a doubt the most hospitable person I know. When I arrived at Kerry's house last week she greeted me with a fresh gin and tonic (with homemade gin!) a beautiful meal, and lots of good conversations. Love love love this woman.
100 Day Project / Day 63: Meet Chris Slog. This guy taught me how to scuba dive last week! Chris is such an impressive dude. He's an expert diver and a boat captain and he's only 24 years old. And he's super chill and has fabulous curly hair. So glad I had an awesome person teach me how to stay alive under water.
