WRITER EVIDENCE IN THE HOUSE OF BOOMERPDX

A hard rule among writers: avoid talking about a writing project. So what do writers talk about in writer meetings? Last night while attending a Willamette Writers meeting I saw writer evidence all over the place across a crowded room. I scanned the crowd from a plush chair inside Tabor Space on […]

NORMAL TO NEW NORMAL A SHORTER WALK

Exercise geeks always have something wrong. Not the biggest complainers in any room I’m in, but it’s always something. Why? Because small nagging aches and pains are proof of a finely tuned machine. Like a racehorse where every muscle glistens down the backstretch. Or a fastball pitcher, guys who look like their […]

MAKE NEW NORMAL BETTER THAN OLD NORMAL? THAT’S THE NEW JOB

I’ll never to get used to hearing about the ‘new normal,’ which is a pretty common topic after cancer treatment. “How is your new normal?” I’ve heard. “Do you miss the things you can’t do anymore?” I’ve heard. What’s the right answer? There is no right answer, but the questions ought to serve […]

The HPV16 vaccine article in Consumer Reports pushes hot buttons across the board. It’s easy to understand why. I’m a father of two, but it’s more than that. Too many parents are overwhelmed with the joy of their own reproductive skills and the bundle of joy as a result. I know I was. […]

If you’re called yoked it’s not a joke, and it’s not about woodworking. It’s a compliment. Someone noticed your gains. They think you’re strong. You look strong, feel strong, and it’s because you lift weights. Whether a fitness lifestyle or just trying it out, lifting changes your body. Strong as an ox? Not a bad […]

WHAT SEVERE ILLNESS MEANS TO OTHERS

Under the category of ‘Who Knew’, severe illness opens the door to compassion. And it’s not all about you. Talk between cancer survivors is one thing; talk between a cancer survivor and someone untouched launches other topics. Some survivors are good listeners, others see the open door and rush right through. That […]
