JUPITER HOTEL ON PORTLAND’S EAST SIDE: THE NEXT LEVEL

The Jupiter Hotel on Saturday felt like travel. A time before the meth epidemic, the opioid epidemic, the covid epidemic, the homeless epidemic, and every other epidemic. Why? Because of the fun sense of humor. “Make mine a fir burger?” I’m still laughing.

BUS DRUGS IN PORTLAND OREGON ‘DRUG DOME?’

Bus drugs, train drugs, and airplane drugs are a voluntary thing. Traditionally. Score a bag, hide it away in the last place any normal person would ever look, and be on your way. But not in Portland? Because Portland is soooo different?

OREGON DAY, JUST ONE OREGON DAY

On one Oregon day I saw U.S. Representative Andrea Salinas meet her people at the Tigard Library. The next day I drove around the countryside looking at what and who is represented. After joining the crowd in Tigard and listening to how Rep. Salinas spoke to them, I felt certain she had a good handle […]

HOME COOKING CONVERSATION: PORK BUTT

Home cooking usually means there’s a cook involved. You know, a chef. With no cook or chef around you do what everyone else does: Get into that kitchen and rattle those pots and pans.

WEST COAST WIPEOUT FOR PAC-12?

The west coast finally achieved what the smart sports guys from the eastern time zone have said for years: The Pac-12 is a minor league athletic conference.

OREGON EVOLUTION AT THE STATE FAIR

Oregon evolution means securing the human necessities of food, shelter, and clothing. Of course you know that. But have you seen the twist on necessities at the Oregon State Fair? Have you? Let’s start at the beginning.

CITY LIVING REALLY GOT YOU DOWN

City living gets everyone down eventually. Then we get back up and keep going. And it doesn’t have to be a big city. Someone from Coquille might call someone from North Bend a ‘city boy’, which is probably better than pretty boy. And it rolls on from there.

LIFE GOALS: CLIMB THE LADDER, WANDER AROUND, OR BOTH

Life goals bring everything into focus the way the right rug ties a room together. It starts with a list of things to accomplish by a certain year and an ambitious plan for doing it. There’s the calendar with each day, week, month, year, with room to pencil in your progress. And you are progressing, […]

VENARDOS CIRCUS LIFE, AND MINE TOO

Venardos Circus showed up on the calendar as a nice family outing with the children. It was perfect timing before they got too old to enjoy the spectacle of The Big Top. Don’t the mid-thirties seem just about right? We were a party of husbands, wives, a ten year old, a toddler, and more. But […]
