THE WILD SIDE, OR JUST ANOTHER WALK
January 29, 2025 by
Oregon’s wild side is a twenty minute drive away. Big city life gets gritty near Portland, Oregon’s West Burnside. The pretty lights, the shimmering beauty reflected on the Willamette from the top deck of the Marquam Bridge that looks like Paris lights on the Seine from the Eiffel Tower, disappear after you park your car.

January 25, 2025 by
Exquisite Creatures is in the final days of its second run at OMSI. Christopher Marley’s nature collection occupies two floors.

THE LONG ROAD OF FAMILY LIFE
December 21, 2024 by
The long road of family life in the good old days started with moms and dads in the lead. Whether they loved each other like soul mates, or hated each other like oceans do shorelines, they stayed married. I’m not looking at statistical data when I say they stayed married, it’s just that I don’t […]
TRAUMA TELEVISION: NFL vs SVU
December 20, 2024 by
Trauma television: scenes where you look away. The NFL is a hard watch at the beginning of the season because we forget how violent it is. Then we get up to spreed. When injuries happen it’s, “Well that’s football.”
