Cultural Exchange Without Leaving Home

Last night my cultural exchange student, better said as ‘our’ cultural exchange student, prepared dinner for seven. And the kid can cook. I know the difference when someone mails it in from the kitchen. How? Because someone I know tried doing it for years. Me. Now I’m much better and […]

Five Miles From Tigard Equals Yellowstone?

Looked for wildlife far and wide from Idaho to Wyoming to Montana and Washington. Then I looked near Tigard in the Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge five miles from home in Oregon. There was more wildlife in one place than there was in four states. Go Tigard, Go.

BROADWAY ROSE MAMMA MIA: I WENT AGAIN AND LIKED IT MORE IF THAT’S POSSIBLE

The first time I saw Mamma Mia: The Play, Kevin Pritchard still worked for the Portland Trail Blazer. It was about six years back when Portland had a guy who built the Blazers by ‘Pritch Slapping’ the NBA before he got fired for too much ‘Pritch Slapping.’ Mamma Mia: Touring Broadway Show […]

TEACHER ABUSE BAD FOR STUDENT BODY

How does a seasoned school administrator lose their job by ignoring students? When they decide some student voices are more important than others. The old saying about a squeaky wheel getting the grease may apply here, but the school official was out of lube. Now they’re out of a job, or will be […]

NEW SPRING WORKING IT OUT IN TIGARD

“Like sand through the hour glass, these are the days of our lives.” A nice reminder when things get more than a little too dramatic. I’d rather hear a soap opera intro than the Persian proverb, “This too shall pass.” To fatalistic. Unless it’s a really awful thing I can’t wait […]

Theater In Portland And Tigard, How To Dress

At some point I’ll probably get used to going to live theater, but it hasn’t happened yet. Actors and clowns still feel a little suspicious. So do writers, but what’re you gonna do. No one dresses to write, everyone dresses for the theater, at least everyone with gray hair and I’ve got […]

High School Football Explained For Better Understanding

It doesn’t take a genius to understand the risk of playing high school football. But if you need a genius to explain football from top to bottom, ask retired Baltimore Raven John Urschel. He’s enough of a genius. At the old age of twenty six he hung his jock on an […]

Run Away From Home, Family, Life. But To Where?

If you were lucky growing up you couldn’t run away. Well you could, but would you end up someplace better? My hometown is North Bend, Oregon. I attended the same grade school, junior high, and high school all in the same school district. So did most of my graduating class. We didn’t hear […]

Wellness Luxury: Feeling Good For Doing Good Again

To do good you don’t have to feel good. If you do it’s a wellness luxury, an expression I just made up. Google wellness luxury. This isn’t that sort of post. Take mental health for example. Nothing makes any difference to you? No one cares about you? Feeling earful about the future? Feeling sad […]
