GRECO ROMAN MEDAL WITH A HAPPY FAMILY

January 23, 2021 by

Greco Roman sounds so classic because that’s what it is, classic. It sounds old, like Greek City-State and Roman Empire old. Way the heck back there. In the sports world, Greco Roman is a particular style of wrestling, not an architectural element. It’s for athletes who don’t want to get tangled up in someone’s legs, […]

DANKEST HOUR DURING THE OREGON WINTER

January 18, 2021 by

If the “Darkest hour is just before dawn,” when is the Dankest hour? I dug into a dictionary to figure it out. “Dank: disagreeably damp, musty, and typically cold.” In other words, most every day of an Oregon winter. Pelican Brewing added to the definition:

January 2, 2021 by

Oregon football takes the national stage today as the PAC12 Champion against BIG12 runner-up Iowa State. And rightfully so.

WINNING PORTLAND? LOSE SOMEPLACE ELSE FIRST

November 28, 2020 by

Winning Portland, if you call it a win, is easy: grow a beard, wear plaid, work up an opinion on every beer you open. If that sounds like a Portland dream, it is, but it doesn’t last. Bikes, beer gardens, and weed shops are all good news from the outside looking in, but if those […]

EDUCATIONAL BREAKDOWN: “IF IT’S NOT BROKEN . . .”

November 5, 2020 by

I found this educational breakdown map on twitter. Is it accurate, or close enough? Social media accuracy is close enough without knowing when this was made and the data at the time.

HOPEFUL HISTORY THE OREGON WAY

September 14, 2020 by

Opening a book to find hopeful history is pure folly. It’s not history if all the good and bad parts get the whitewash treatment. Too often Oregon history is a mashup of wagon trains and farmers, of noble people of the land, salt of the earth, staking out new ground on behalf of their godly […]

Take my opinions on soft men to heart, I’ve seen them in action. So have you. Like most converts to a new belief system, soft men who play hard go an extra mile, or ten. They’ve got something to prove to their soft man group. But there’s a special trick they use.
