Oregon football takes the national stage today as the PAC12 Champion against BIG12 runner-up Iowa State. And rightfully so. After all, it wasn’t Oregon’s fault Washington opted out of the title game against USC due to covid. Someone had to play the Trojans. But, it was Oregon’s fault that USC didn’t go undefeated, and now […]
CAREGIVING COVID IN 2021 LIKE A CAREGIVER WOULD DO
December 31, 2020 by
Caregiving covid as only a caregiver can do? Only a caregiver can figure this one out. If it takes one to know one, I’m here to serve. I got my caregiver merit badge and five stripes for consecutive years with my Parkinson’s afflicted father-in-law. I believe my caregiver tactics offer an angle into dealing with […]
MASK WEARING GIG LINE DANCE vs YOUR FREEDOM
November 19, 2020 by
First, mask wearing is not a gig line violation. What is a gig line: put your finger on your chin and drop it straight down in a line that ends at the bottom of your crotch. Go ahead, I’ll wait. Chin to crotch, a straight line from top to bottom. Got it? Good. A gig […]
COVID TESTING REALITY FROM THE DRIVER’S SEAT
November 12, 2020 by
Covid testing, for the uninitiated, the disbelieving, for the safety of others, is more real when you drive someone to their scheduled testing. Have you done that as a family or civic task? Or is the better question, “Do you think covid testing is for the virus, or “SOMETHING ELSE?” For my purposes, hopefully your […]
MALE PAIN, WHAT PILL CURES THAT ILL?
October 4, 2020 by
If you’re a man with male pain, or a woman living with a male pain man, what is the proper remedy for the hurting hero? After all, pain comes at us from every angle from every source so often it’s hard to know what to do. However, with all options on the table, there’s one […]
WESTERN EDGE OF NORTH AMERICAN COVID DREAM
August 8, 2020 by
The Pacific Ocean at sundown with clouds catching the last dream of an Oregon day. If you still have dreams, do you share them? Do you know how to share a dream? Me neither, but I still try and work it out. See if this is helpful:
HISTORY MATTERS MORE THAN OPINIONS? USUALLY
August 2, 2020 by
History matters when someone starts explaining things beyond their grasp. If you don’t understand the basics of a single topic, then everything sounds authoritative. So how is it possible to tell the difference between a crackpot and a legitimate source? If you trust a blogger who gets with it an a daily basis, you’re on […]
COVID LOVE STORY MEANS NEVER SAYING YOU’RE SORRY?
August 1, 2020 by
The covid love story is different than the Love Story movie. In this one, no one dies, but there’s still a break-up. Fans of love stories are also fans of breakup stories. Who doesn’t need a story that brings two different people together because of their endless love for one another? There’s got to be […]
COVID COMPARISONS: USE THE TOOLS, NOT THE FOOLS
July 30, 2020 by
The best covid comparisons are the also the most sad. And who enjoys the sad sack? Hands up. There’s no joy in seeing illness silence a strong voice of reason. At the same time, there’s also no joy in seeing illness silence medical kooks. Or, maybe it’s just me. I’m soft on suffering. Don’t like […]
FUN TIME BALANCES REGRET AND REMORSE
July 29, 2020 by
A fun time is the break in the clouds, a ray of sunshine on an otherwise darkened day. How’s that working this week? We all having a fun time yet? If not, why not? Maybe we need a new soundtrack, new songs for this space in time? (Thank you Ten Years After.)
