BROKEN MAN ON 1, 2, 3

December 28, 2021 by

Hemingway said every man is a broken man, that’s how the light gets in. His inexact quote is a little different with, “We are all broken. That’s how the light gets in,” but the same idea. I’m just not as inclusive as the big guy. ‘We’ are not all broken, not yet, at least not […]

DESPERADO DAYS, AN OLD SONG FOR CURRENT TIMES

September 7, 2021 by

Desperado days come into focus when you ask a millennial if they’ve heard the song before. Maybe it depends on how you ask? “This is my anthem song, my guide in the ’70’s, the song that rang true then and now. Ever hear of Desperado?” I’ll be honest here, if someone asked me like that […]

THOUGHT CONTROL? FIRST FIND A BRAIN

September 1, 2021 by

Thought control is an accusation slung by those who need you to agree with them. Based on their outlook and attitude, if you don’t agree it’s because you’ve been brainwashed. Like that’s a bad thing all the time. If you join the Army you get a good wash, learn to help others, at the same […]

EVERY DAY IS A NEW CHANCE FOR SMALL CHANGES

July 8, 2021 by

Every day has promises to keep with miles to go before we sleep. Sound familiar? It was a poem written by an old man named Robert Frost. When I first read ‘Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening’ I chalked it up to a reflection on mortality. Reading it now, instead of a high school […]

BLOG ANNIVERSARY WITH 2500TH POST TODAY

July 6, 2021 by

Like any anniversary, from birthday to wedding to funeral, a blog anniversary marks time. From gym reviews to book reviews, restaurant reviews to David review, I’ve laid it down. On good days and bad days, I’ve laid it down. From joy to heartbreak, I’ve laid it down. And not once, not one sentence in one […]

PARTY PEOPLE WHO BRING THE EXTRA EXCITEMENT

July 5, 2021 by

Party people come to life at the right time. They also make things come to life. Pictures of food and dessert are one thing, but seeing it put together in real time is a whole ‘nother thing. Wherever the flag idea came from, it looked good yesterday. A lot of things looked good yesterday.

BLOG WORK BEHIND THE CURTAINS: WHAT TO EXPECT

June 23, 2021 by

One of the cruel joys of blog work comes at the start: Either figure out how to start, how to build a site, or hire someone else to do it. While I’m happy for folks who go either way, which is better in the long run? The bottom line is spending the time to learn […]

OREGON DRUGS: MEASURE 110 EXPERIMENTS WITH NEW IDEAS

June 21, 2021 by

Oregon drugs were put to the vote last November and the results were clear. Last fall Oregon voters decriminalized possession of small amounts of almost all hard drugs, taking a groundbreaking step away from the arrest, charge and jail model for possession that’s been a centerpiece of American drug policy. Arrest. Charge. Jail. The new […]

ROAD TRIP AMERICA WITH LEWIS AND CLARK AND BOOKS

June 13, 2021 by

The road trip for the original Corps of Discovery hit this beach in 1805. The modern Corps of Discovery pulled up in a tour bus yesterday and marched to the spot above the beach. That’s one way of doing it. There are other ways, but they all have things in common with Lewis and Clark. […]
