Long Island Seashore

17 years ago, I drove for days along the Atlantic, through an other-worldly light that I struggled to capture with my camera. Now, with America turning increasingly hostile against the world, that spring semester at Rutgers feels ever more distant, and so does the optimism and cosmopolitanism of the subsequent Obama years.

Be it Rügen or Bettnesand, the seaside is definitely prominent in the psychogeography of Rawls & Me, and in a little more than two weeks, I am off to Wales for the Pembrokeshire Ultra (which will be my fourth race in the Coastal Trail Series), and I look forward to taking you all along. For the moment however, my days are mostly spent in front of Zoom supervising students but, hopefully, I will find the time tomorrow morning to run the first two stages of Bohusleden down to Anneberg.
