HOW TO NOT SEE THE EVIDENCE

August 17, 2017 by

  Stare and compare the evidence. That’s what a telecom pro called the first key to success. Is something wrong? Look at it. Look hard.   Stare a hole in it, then compare it to normal. Normal works across the board. Abnormal, like the brain from Abby Normal in Young Frankenstein, doesn’t work for everyone. […]

OREGON v ARIZONA PT 1: STATE FACE OFF SERIES

June 14, 2017 by

Despite news fakery to the contrary, the sun does shine in Oregon. It’s an elusive beam natives flock to like mosquitoes to a zapper.

June 3, 2017 by

    “If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life, it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast.” Would Hemingway say the same about a Portland moveable feast? He would if he booked Eastburn for dinner. Try […]

FAKE AUTHORITY? RECOGNIZE THE POWER, USE IT, MOVE ON

May 25, 2017 by

    Fake authority never takes time off. Too much gone wrong ’round here. So much to do and so little time. While busy, you never hear fake authority figures compared to janitors. Because it’s a bad comparison? Because good janitors make bad writers? Or because a trained janitor, and not a good one, best […]

March 27, 2017 by

  6’9″ Jordan Bell, same size as Bill Russell. Wiki quote from Bill Russell: “The idea is not to block every shot. The idea is to make your opponent believe that you might block every shot.” Either Kansas had a bad shooting night, or Jordan Bell had a great game. (Bell’s Elite Eight stat line: […]

March 10, 2017 by

    If you’ve got one, then you’re a scrub athlete. And that’s not a bad thing.   Talking to college stars and professional athletes, one thing stands out: They’ve played a lot of games. Far too many for one moment to stand above the rest. Ask if they remember one game, one opponent, that […]

PORTLAND SUCKS? TELL US MORE ABOUT THOSE FEELINGS

February 10, 2017 by

Say Portland sucks and you might be right, but why ruin it for the rest of us.   If Portland sucks for you, that may be just the tip of your iceberg. Blame the city for what? Your attitude, your entitlement, your butt-hurt life? Why not? You don’t know what you want and it bugs […]
