The Gilbert House Children’s Museum is fun for kids, a way for them to see new things in a new context. Gather up the kids and grandkids for an afternoon of the usual? Nope, not at the Gilbert House. There’s something undeniably sweet going on there for the big kids, the adults.

October 5, 2024 by
Stomp out cancer was the theme for the Oregon Ducks v Michigan State football game at Autzen stadium. It was a fitting theme in my family where cancer is no stranger. Maybe your family, too, but I hope not. Here’s what it looks like and sounds like:
WINNING NOW: PHIL KNIGHT vs JERRY JONES
January 16, 2024 by
Winning now, right now, is more important the older you get. It’s like that when you have more seasons behind you than you do ahead. Phil Knight is eighty-five; Jerry Jones is eighty-one. Would it be too much to ask that they go out winners? First for the Ducks:
