gym guy

 

You have boundaries; naked gym guy needs boundaries. 
Who sets the boundaries?
Two normal people join a gym: one of them works out and goes home, the other works out and showers at the gym.
Then it breaks down further.
Two people shower at the gym: sweaty guys and those who like to shower with sweaty guys.
It’s all in the same package, (excuse the pun.)
A current trend explains why so many people, like millennials, are uncomfortable in the gym locker room.

NEW YORK, NEW YORK? COME ON NEW YORK

New York

 

 

Doing the right thing in New York is the same as doing the right thing in Oregon:

MATCHING CHAIRS FOR SALE, COULD BE FOR YOU?

MUSICAL URGE SUGGESTIONS: A LESSON POST

Acting on a musical urge is always chancy.
Will you sound the way you think you sound, would like to sound?
There’s only one way to find out, and there’s a guitar laying around. Maybe it’s enough to stop thinking about it and get back to the more important things like video games and TV.
We’re way past fifty-seven channels and nothing on.

CLEAN DRINKING WATER? I’LL HAVE ANOTHER

This is the Tualatin River water, not drinking water.
With this river running through Washington County to the lake in Lake Oswego, then out to the Willamette, why isn’t it tapped for drinking water in Tigard and LO?

TREATING CANCER WITH A POLYFACE FARMS MODALITY

Treating cancer like Polyface Farms. The best results save the land and the person. Machiavelli said the end justifies the means. But only if the end shares a happy ending? A happy ending in cancer is a cured patient. I’m not looking for a ‘successful surgery but lost the patient’ deal.

GET A JUMP START ON GLOBAL WARMING IN THE ARIZONA DESERT

The Arizona desert feels like the future of global warming. I’m not complaining about one hundred ten degree days, and neither is the cactus. But how much hotter would it get if global warming trends continue? Check the temps next week. The weather news calls for potential records. My home turf in Oregon gets record […]

CDC SAYS OPIOIDS SHOULDN’T BE FIRST CHOICE? THAT HURTS.

Pain relief moves from legal heroin to physical therapy, exercise, and over the counter pills? Who knew? I wrote a post about an author’s reading called BLACK TAR HEROIN, SAM QUINONES, AND DREAMLAND. Sam Quinones showed up in Powell’s City of Books and talked about pill mills supplying zombie customers with their opioid prescriptions; about […]

The Conversation You Need To Have. A conversation between an Army vet and a Non-vet: V: People that join the Army with the right intentions come out better. NV: If you join and serve your country it’s all the same. V: Except it’s better for the people who understand the deal ahead of time. NV: […]

MILLENNIAL CELEBRITIES EXPLAIN AGING. WHO’S LISTENING?

The Dude Abides, Man. Boomers getting older. It’s a subject with a bright spotlight. From kids born between 1946 – 1964, from youthful fifty years olds to an ancient sixty eight, no generation said it louder, “We’re young and pretty, and you’re not.” Since their early go-to-hell days, baby boomers discovered they’re not any more […]

COMPASS ROSE CITY PORTLAND

Compass Rose As Eight Ball? You Are Correct. The eight ball works with some people better than others. Ask a question. Smack a stooge. Repeat. For these explorers it works best. Not so much for the rest of us. We need direction. We need a compass rose city Portland sort of direction. And there’s only […]

How To Sake Bomb

Start A Boomer Birthday Right What goes best with sushi? Ask your server at Mio Sushi. Ours recommended the traditional Sake Bomb. Sake Bomb? Huh? That’s what I asked. Am I the only baby boomer who’s never heard of it? And why is it called a bomb? Start with Japanese beer, like Sapporo, and a […]

PORTLAND/GRESHAM SANTACON RUMBLE

If you’ve got friends who give you a Santa suit as a present, then ask you to go to SantaCon with them, there’s only one answer. Stall. When they ask the next year, stall again. If they ask to ‘borrow’ the Santa coat for someone else, then you have to go. This years real SantaCon […]
