MAKE NEW NORMAL BETTER THAN OLD NORMAL? THAT’S THE NEW JOB

I’ll never to get used to hearing about the ‘new normal,’ which is a pretty common topic after cancer treatment. “How is your new normal?” I’ve heard. “Do you miss the things you can’t do anymore?” I’ve heard. What’s the right answer? There is no right answer, but the questions ought to serve […]

AMERICAN EDUCATION STARTS WITH THE FIRST WORD

American education teaches and American education does some learning too, as in we learn how to teach. Isn’t that the happy ending education promises? Learn how to treat others as you would have them treat you. Why does that sound so biblical? This is where the separation does neither American public […]

COMFORT ZONE AND BIG SNAKES? GET. OUT.

If you’ve ever seen a snake wrangler in their comfort zone, they probably don’t look like this. There I was in a lovely Santa Monica apartment with nice people in Los Angeles. They seemed like nice people, then I saw the snake in a cage. “Do you like snakes?” someone […]

SPORT TALK RADIO ADS ON PORTLAND’S 620, 750, 1080

Look at the face of sport talk reason. This man isn’t on sport talk radio because of his face. This face is on sport talk radio because of the audience. They want him. They need him. It doesn’t happen often, but if the airwaves line up in the right order while I […]

AUTUMN LEAVES, AUTUMN DOGS, BEST TIME OF YEAR

How often do dogs change my day? Every day. And it’s not always my dog. A walk on a trail, a lady with two frisky hounds, and it’s a lively moment. Just two middle aged people on a hillside in the wilderness. Sharing the wonder of it all. Autumn […]

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 […]

Smart Boston Loves Boomerpdx Portland But It’s Not Enough

Smart Boston got it’s name by being smart. No news there, not when the Wall Street Journal and Times Higher Education list of top colleges came out Wednesday, September 27th, 2017. Do we all agree that the WSJ/THE poll helps smart Boston? With two of the top three colleges in town, there’s […]

WRITING PARTNERS PLEASE STAND UP

Responsible parents? Responsible parenting? Writing partners? What’s is really mean? It’s more than a roof over their head and food on the table. And when does it end? We want answers, dammit, and not the easy ones. Too easy to say, “You’re eighteen, my jobs doe. Get out.” But you could and no […]
