MUSICAL URGE SUGGESTIONS: A LESSON POST

September 9, 2026 by Leave a Comment

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. […]

BOOMER BLOGGERS UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL. TOO CLOSE?

September 6, 2026 by Leave a Comment

As a cohort of boomer bloggers, I read all about them. From posts and opinions, to ABOUT pages, we’re all about challenges and adventures, the places we’ve been, places we’re going.

CLASSIC PORTLAND RIVALRY

September 3, 2026 by Leave a Comment

Social media Portland isn’t for the weak of heart. It’s either heaven on earth, or a hell hole from the underworld sticky goo. If you showed up recently, things are looking better; if you’ve been here a minute you’ve seen the ups and downs. Lastly, if you’ve lived here your whole life? Uh oh.

YES, I CAN HEAR YOU. ARE YOU LISTENING TODAY?

August 30, 2026 by

I’m listening today, like every day, for that special spark of something, something interesting, but I’d settle for less. Short of that, I hope for something that jumps out from social media, something blog-worthy. That’s a big deal with a blog, a big deal for writers, finding a topic to expand on. Too often they […]

DARK MOON RISING

August 28, 2026 by

The dark moon hit my eye last night in Portland, Oregon. Tucked away on the 14th floor near the Willamette River with friends and drinks, I interrupted everything for a special announcement: “I see a bad moon rising.” It looked huge, this moonrise, and kept getting bigger and more interesting.

DECISION MAKERS PICK A SIDE

August 25, 2026 by

Decision makers have one job: make the right decision. Then another and another and another all day long. It’s not for everybody, but everybody does it. Making no decision is a decision? Yes, but someone else will decide for you if it’s important enough.
