April 18, 2025 by

More blog traffic is the goal of most every blogger. Some call it an obsession. Figuring out how to draw more readers is an industry onto itself. Writers write the posts and hope for the best, then quit. But where is the help for better traffic goals?

MENS SHAPEWEAR AND GIRDLES? WHICH MEN?

April 16, 2025 by

The notions of mens shapewear came to me over the AM airwaves. If I’m in the car between 3 PM and 7, I’m listening to 1080 The Fan. Yesterday the talk was about fluffy men tightening up. Did they go on and on about diet and exercise mixed in with more diet and exercise? No. […]

EDUCATION STEPS UP, HARVARD ROARS

April 15, 2025 by

Education steps up when Harvard slams it down. No defeat baby, no surrender. No retreat. Today, with Harvard’s statement, their decree, their promise to not surrender its independence or relinquish its constitutional rights, we are all Harvard People. Without the student loan problems.

LIVING LARGE ON ROUTE 66

April 13, 2025 by

Living large on Route 66 is time travel back to another era, one designed to lure you into stopping the car. So you stop. Then what? That’s when the years start rushing past.

DANGEROUS COMBINATIONS TO BE WARY OF

April 9, 2025 by

Dangerous  combinations  come in every variety in all walks of life. In baseball it’s a fastball followed by an off-speed pitch for a third strike. For boxing it’s a left jab followed by a right cross for a knockout. In football it’s a running play followed by a pass. But, what about the non-sporty stuff? […]

WHY WRITING IS BETTER THAN THE REST

March 28, 2025 by

Why writing? That’s the question. Why not paining, sculpting, singing, playing an instrument, and any other creative outlet? Writing is simple, like running. One takes a pen and paper, a phone, a tablet, lap top, or anything else that contains and conveys words, and lays them down. For running it’s a pair of shoes. If […]

CURRENT DISAPPOINTMENT, I’VE GOT A FEW

March 27, 2025 by

My current disappointment, and it’s not much, are the cherry blossoms of downtown Portland. I’ve been on others to get down there before they drop. What says spring better than a stroll along the Willamette River under a cherry blossom canopy? If I don’t go, it’ll be another year to wait. Do I go alone […]

LOOKING BACK AT THE BEGINNING

March 23, 2025 by

Looking back can be dangerous, in an embarrassing way. The 80’s were a time of tight shorts in the NBA, and Crater Lake. That’s me with my girlfriend’s dog on a summer fashion shoot, a single man loose in the wild. I married that particular girlfriend. We were wedding bound after this trip.

Who has had a trauma bonding relationship? Anyone who played sports, broke up with the same partner a few times, you get the idea. If you’ve ever rented a place in a bad building, worked for a bad boss, or eat in a middle of the road restaurant instead of trying someplace new, you’ve had […]
