DOWNTOWN PORTLAND OREGON ON A FAMILY SATURDAY NIGHT
June 23, 2024 by
Traveling to downtown Portland for a visit, for a look-around? But you’ve seen the news, the tents, the drugs, the crime. So have I. It’s a red flag, but not this time. We took a chance to claim, or reclaim, the Rose City as our own.
THE NON-BLOG BLOG REPORT
June 21, 2024 by
One of my non-blog blog readers had something to say, which is nice. They liked the travel posts from England better than the current production.

Study culture in a bar that has a stairway to a church balcony in the corner. What do you do? Pretty simple question, don’t you think? You go upstairs.
YOUR STORY: WHERE TO START
June 1, 2024 by
Your story is like every story: waiting to be told. You: But, Blogger Dave I sound dumb when I write it down. Me: What’s dumb sound like. You: It makes me sound like a blogger. Me:
LIFE ENHANCING FOR CHANGE?
May 27, 2024 by
Life enhancing, like everything else, is different for everyone. For some it’s being an online social influencer, and it’s hard work for those guys.
