PRICELESS ARTIFACTS OR LEFTOVERS LIKE GONZAGA

April 6, 2021 by

Priceless artifacts cast a spell. But it’s a good spell, not some doomsday end of the world sort of spell. The feeling is more about sharing a world with the most amazing things ever made, invented, or found. I’m not saying “Sharing with the world,” but sharing a world, like being alive at a time […]

SUPER BABY WINS THE SUPER BOWL IN A ROMP

February 8, 2021 by

Super Baby came to the Super Bowl party ready to play. Her team? Since the Dallas Cowboys weren’t playing, I’m not sure. If things work out down the line, she’ll be a Cowboy fan. Or, like the house I grew up in, she’ll like any team playing against the team her dad, a Cowboy’s fan, […]

January 26, 2021 by

Sports education with Raider Coach Tom Fores started in middle school at a parent teacher conference. I was the parent, the teacher was Miss Flores, my kid’s teacher. She was whip smart and knew how to reach her students in ways other teachers couldn’t. As a science teacher, she had an advantage. The night of […]

TWO PERSONALITIES: SUMMER CAMP vs FINISHING SCHOOL

December 16, 2020 by

Two personalities, or shades of two, ought to be enough to make it through the day without more problems. If one is enough, stick with it, but don’t feel trapped. Multiple personalities are not a good sign, but two are not a problem if used with proper care. But which two?

CONFLICT RESOLUTION BASIC TRAINING

May 13, 2019 by

I’ll start with a common conflict that needs a few rounds of conflict resolution. Let’s say you have a pile of composed bark dust and six wheel barrows and six shovels and six Scouts doing community service. They signed up for three hours and know how to tell time. The early teens wanted to work, […]

DEADSPIN’S ‘WHY YOUR TEAM SUCKS’ IS NO WAY TO LEARN ABOUT ARIZONA

August 16, 2017 by

  Arizona is a lovely place. A little warmer than most, but still worth a visit. Deadspin’s annual take down of every team in the NFL paints a different picture. It’s supposed to be funny and sports related, something the rest of the world finds confusing. Football isn’t a world sport like soccer, like basketball. […]

SILVERTON SEVEN BRIDES BREWERY FESTIVAL

August 4, 2017 by

It wasn’t billed as a festival for a Thursday night, but it was this time. A festival of survivability after a heart-thumping force march on the hottest day of the year. Add one of the smokiest days from Canadian fires and it felt like a heavenly Seven Brides Brewery cloud. How wonderful was this? Everyone […]

HOW MANY WINNING SUPER BOWLS TO FINISH FOOTBALL

February 18, 2017 by

    Winning Super Bowls make history every year, like this year’s comeback. And it’s still not enough.   Hardly anyone argues that Tom Brady isn’t the best ever. Better than Joe and Terry with their handful of rings and MVP gear. You’ve got to give it to him. Others say he’s the best of […]

GREAT ATHLETES, GREAT PARENTS. BETTER RESULTS?

January 2, 2017 by

First place is what great athletes aim for. In the beginning competition reflected the nature of mankind. Whether you cheer for the first life-form slithering from the sea, or the Garden of Eden story, first place is the only place. First place is the happy place. Losers get disappointment and bitterness. They all come after […]
