NEW NAKED GYM GUY BOUNDARIES UPDATE, 2026

gym guy

 

You have boundaries; naked gym guy needs boundaries. 
Who sets the boundaries?
Two normal people join a gym: one of them works out and goes home, the other works out and showers at the gym.
Then it breaks down further.
Two people shower at the gym: sweaty guys and those who like to shower with sweaty guys.
It’s all in the same package, (excuse the pun.)
A current trend explains why so many people, like millennials, are uncomfortable in the gym locker room.
There’s good reasons why everyone feels a little, say, exposed.
Here’s how to figure it out and relax: [Read More…]

NEW YORK, NEW YORK? COME ON NEW YORK

New York

 

 

Doing the right thing in New York is the same as doing the right thing in Oregon:

 

Stay home, keep a social distance.

 

My social distance from NYC is 3000 miles away, but it wasn’t always that way.

 

Frank said it best:

MATCHING CHAIRS FOR SALE, COULD BE FOR YOU?

MUSICAL URGE SUGGESTIONS: A LESSON POST

Acting on a musical urge is always chancy.
Will you sound the way you think you sound, would like to sound?
There’s only one way to find out, and there’s a guitar laying around. Maybe it’s enough to stop thinking about it and get back to the more important things like video games and TV.
We’re way past fifty-seven channels and nothing on.
So you listen to yourself, then lock that guitar back in the case and chase one hundred fifty-seven channels and nothing on, one thousand and fifty-seven channels.
Don’t do that. Why?

CLEAN DRINKING WATER? I’LL HAVE ANOTHER

This is the Tualatin River water, not drinking water.
With this river running through Washington County to the lake in Lake Oswego, then out to the Willamette, why isn’t it tapped for drinking water in Tigard and LO?
This warning from the Tualatin Riverkeepers lays it out:

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 […]

SWING HARD OR SOFT, BUT HIT THE SWEET SCIENCE

If The Heavy Bag Could Talk No matter the age or gender, we never lose the urge to fight. We fight for one thing or another all our lives. It’s not always called a fight, but it can feel like it. And you can still win. During the 1920’s Golden Age of Sports, college football, […]

AUTHORITARIAN PARENT? WHAT OTHER KIND IS THERE

    A scene from the movie Vision Quest shows Louden Swain’s buddy Kuch at home with his dad. Instead of a bonding moment of shared struggle, the dad slaps Kuch around, telling him he’ll never be nothing.   Nothing. Wrestling might make him feel like a big shot, but he’ll still be nothing.   […]

BOOMERPDX BOOK CHOP

Like Food Channel’s Chopped Except No One Spits On The Pages. The most often heard complaint of the avid reader? “What do I read next? I’m in between books.” Even with libraries and bookstores stocked to the roof, the next book is still an important choice. Museums have research libraries, colleges have academic libraries; hospitals […]

AUTHOR PHOTOS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS? Pt.2

    Exercise your laser beam eyes?   Nothing says “buy snake oil” either in print or bottle, than an expression that includes laser beam eyes.   This author looks like a button downed English professor forced to read WR121 funnel essays year after year. With that in mind does he have laser beam eyes, […]

EXPERIENCE AUTHORITY FIRST HAND

The truth is powerful after you experience authority. From your private life to public life, things change. You can’t always express that unique feeling you need to share. If you talk your talk and nobody listens? If you talk your talk and the wrong people listen? If you’re afraid to talk your talk? That one […]

PORTLAND PLANNING VIEW FROM SOUTH WATERFRONT

    Does the top pic look anything like a Portland planning Christmas card? Stacked apartments dot the SW Portland landscape like a vision of Chicago from the Sears Tower.   That’s not the welcome mat Portland planning rolls out for new pioneers. Where’s that world famous food cart court next to a tap room? […]

Oregon Loggers Work In The Woods Singing Johnny Cash

    Tillamook State Forest has plenty of trees, and plenty of piles made by Oregon loggers. Visitors from around the world need to see the beauty of Oregon, and the clear cuts. A close up view.   One belongs to the other. I wouldn’t advise anyone going into a working coal mine, but why […]

ROSLYN WASHINGTON SATURDAY EVENING OASIS IN THE WOODS

    Quick reaction: What’s the first thing that comes to mind walking past a bar like this in Seattle, or Chicago, or Milwaukee? Cross the street? Hogs at the curb, chunky guys in black SECURITY shirts. It’s a scene ready for action. If you’re a stranger to such parts, you’d walk past in other […]
