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 […]

MICHAEL BECKER WALKS WITH PURPOSE

I like people who channel their problems constructively. They’re effective in making me feel like the whiner I’ve always taken pride in. Michael Becker channels his problems constructively, and he’s a big boost. I found him in a search of cancer memoirs. We’ve exchanged pleasant emails. Have I told him I’m scouting for my […]

CANCER MEMOIR FROM SMART GUY WITH HPV CANCER, AND IT’S NOT ME

Michael D. Becker wrote his cancer memoir titled ‘A Walk With Purpose.’ By all accounts he’s lived a life with purpose, so the walking with purpose stuff is expected. He walks with purpose, so do you. So do I. We all walk with purpose. If not we’re just wandering around aimless, without […]

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 […]

Travel Bans From History, Who Should Be Banned

Travel bans tend to be specific in terms of where to go and where not to go. Travel bans say one thing: Don’t go there, girlfriend. Stay away, pal. Like a dress code in the NY disco dancing prime time of the late ’70’s, while punk rock was getting ready to […]

Music Fills The Air, Joy Fills The Body, Repeat

Music in the Floyd Country Store is more than a radio station. The old time music jams on Sundays bring young and old with fiddles, guitars, mandolins, and banjos. A big circle passes the song from one to another; new player, new song. It’s American roots music at its finest and […]

American Football Matters More Now Than Ever Before

American football players at every level are our betters. From Pop Warner to the NFL they show us how to get up after being knocked down, how to play after a painful hit, and how to listen. Even with helmets and pads and identifying uniforms, American football is a hurting game. Helmet […]

Japanese Exchange Student A Perfect Portland Fit

What’s better than traveling to new places and meeting the locals? Being the locals and meeting travelers. A Japanese exchange student proved the rule this summer. With kids out of high school and college you’d think a couple of empty nest boomers would enjoy themselves with the usual things baby boomers get […]
