APACHE TEARS HAPPY ENDING

January 17, 2018 by

    “Let’s meet one of my facebook friends,” I said one day during a Mesa Arizona visit.   “You met someone on facebook and you want to meet them?” she asked. “You never want to meet anyone.”   “Yes, I do. We’ll go prospecting. He knows where to find Apache tears,” I said.   […]

CANCER STORIES: FEEDING PUBLIC FEAR AND PRIVATE WOE

December 1, 2017 by

Things you’ll never know until you get cancer, any cancer:   You’ll either be an object of sympathy, or an antenna of sympathy. Or both.   “Keep up the fight,” or, “You’re a fighter,” or “You look like you’ve got this thing whipped.”   That’s what I heard after running Hood To Coast at 49 […]

Jenny Forrester Widens The River, Brightens The Sky

Wildfires be damned, they came and listened to Jenny Forrester talk about her burning memoir, Narrow River, Wide Sky.   I’ve never been more prepared to hear an author talk it out. First because my exchange student came with […]

Travel Education Fatigue Makes Well Rounded Snob

September 3, 2017 by

  The first time I heard an acquaintance talk about travel education I was impressed as hell. They made me want to do it, to go where they’d been. Then I heard it again, and again. And again. Has this happened to you, travel education fatigue? You need to fight through it.

FAILING MEMORIES, ENHANCED THOUGHT, BOOMER BRAIN

August 9, 2017 by

Failing memories include a list of golden moments that show up online more often than it should. They’re supposed to invoke a better time, but for the wrong reasons. Someone needs to set it straight, but who? Could be you if you saw the television shows first hand, been alive for events, and remember. The […]

SPACE NEEDLE BECOMES LAMP POST IF SEATTLE GROWS THE WRONG DIRECTION

July 21, 2017 by

    Reading right to left the image of Seattle changes from working port town Seattle to big league sports town Seattle to gorgeous big-city-over-water skyline Seattle, the equal to any world center.

    There’s no fake news about HPV16 explained in the Washington Post, even if you wish it weren’t true. A story headlined, “What men should know about cancer that spreads through oral sex,” ran April 2 this year. Impressive stuff to jump start Head, Neck, and Throat Cancer Week. What should they know? What […]

July 8, 2017 by

If you need to be tough, but are a secret wussy man, bring the right back up. I brought Jason Witten to get deported in Portland. Not too many tougher than that. Together we deported in Portland; both of us on just this side of crazy celebration, yet calm.

FACEBOOK LIFESTYLE, FACEBOOK KITCHEN

June 22, 2017 by

My facebook lifestyle works better with a little sparkle and shine, or a lot of sparkle and shine. All it takes is a extra work, time, cleaning materials, and a good reason why. I can make a kitchen shine, so can you. Don’t laugh. From Carol in North Carolina to Cam in Cambridge to Bart […]
