“REALLY HIGH” BY KEVIN LOVE

Kevin Love of NBA, UCLA, and Lake Oswego High fame listed a few things he likes to do when he gets high, what he likes to do when he’s really high, adding more for when he’s REALLY high.
The big man is talking about weed, marijuana, dope, ganja, grass, hippie lettuce, herb, pot, Mary Jane.
That’s what he talking about? I think so.
He’s talking about cannabis, the polite word for polite people who get high on the sly.
They like to say, “Cannabis is legal,” and clean, and far from the grubby days of shaking a baggie out on a tilted Cheech and Chong album cover to separate the stems and seeds that you don’t need.

Who reads blogs for good advice?

OFF THE HOOK IN GOLDEN YEARS?

As the golden years of retirement stretch out before you there are a few things to keep in mind.
Probably more than ten line items, but this is a start.

END PRODUCT IS WHAT PEOPLE CARE ABOUT, NOT PRACTICE

‘End Product’ is another way of saying, “What have you done lately?”

We don’t pay to go to practice rooms, weight rooms, or interval track training, the stuff done before the end product.
Buy a ticket for an event and you expect a competent performance?
Sounds reasonable to me.

HISTORICAL ACCURACY? IMPORTANT, OR NOT

I’m a fan of historical accuracy, of a story that stands up to scrutiny not opinion,
My feeling is that the people involved in historical events deserve the decency of applied history.

TO MEN, FOR MEN, FROM MEN

  I’m posting this to men in the Toughen Up section because all the groping news seems like a medical issue, or mental health dilemma.   What goes through a man’s head in the heat of the moment, when the secret button locks the door, when you finally ask, “How much do want this part?” […]

Portland Mole Removal

  How many Portland baby boomers remember when they were pregnant, or their significant others were pregnant?   Didn’t the world seem full of pregnant women?   They were everywhere and you were part of it.   Then you had your baby and you didn’t notice as many pregnant women.

MAKE NEW NORMAL BETTER THAN OLD NORMAL? THAT’S THE NEW JOB

    I’ll never to get used to hearing about the ‘new normal,’ which is a pretty common topic after cancer treatment. “How is your new normal?” I’ve heard. “Do you miss the things you can’t do anymore?” I’ve heard.

SECOND OPINIONS SAVED THE D-DAY

When the truth feels a little sketchy? Get a second opinion. A real estate agent listed my English mother in law’s house in Culver City, CA. They talked about the market, then the price. The real estate lady gave her best number. My mother in law disagreed, too low, and gave her number. It sold […]

Anytime you reach into recent history, you’re showing stuff with easy proofs, references, sources. Real easy, like millions of pictures, documents, oral histories.

MEXICO TRAVEL: PUERTO VALLARTA PERFECTION, pt3

    The top down view from the seventh floor in Old Vallarta, or Viejo Vallarta, to the square.   Is it Frida Kahlo’s turquoise house? It’s the right color.   If it part of the Kahlo catalogue, she’s got octopus on her self portrait.   But it’s not Frida. Not enough eyebrow.
