I don’t know what made me think of this, but I was just remembering the last big interview I had. The year, 1999. I was working for a county in Southern Oregon as a juvenile probation officer. I’d been in that job for a couple of years, loved the work, but was looking at movingContinue reading “Questionable Questions”

No Place Like Home
No matter where I move, how far away I get, there will never be any place more beautiful. There will never be anyplace like home…. Thanks G for posting this on Facebook. I watched, and I have to admit I sniffled just a little. I adore Portland.
Hallelujah
I love this song and it always seems sort of fitting to play it during the holidays. This is a fantastic 2009 live version with Portland singers Storm Large, Holcombe Waller, and Oregon born Wade Mccollum at one of my favorite Portland venues, the Aladdin Theater. Happy Holidays.
Keyser Soze Has Nothing On Us
Wow. And wow again. I think I may have started more than one blog entry with that word and here I am using it once again. Oh well, I’m getting older and that means repeating myself repeatedly. I’m OK with that. I digress… Wow. It’s been a whirlwind of activity and adventure since we leftContinue reading “Keyser Soze Has Nothing On Us”
Oregon My Oregon
We have been here, the Northwest I mean, for 12 days. I really didn’t realize how much I love it. When a person grows up in a place and spends their whole life in that place, I think they don’t really realize how much they love it. If they do love it that is. I’veContinue reading “Oregon My Oregon”
Day Six… And Home
The drive on day six was awesome. We went to Caffe Mela in Wenatchee before we started, as usual going to a local coffee place we’d found, and fueled up before heading to Leavenworth. It’s a quick drive over to Leavenworth from Wenatchee and we were there in 30 minutes or so. Not bad. TheContinue reading “Day Six… And Home”

Dog Day Afternoon
Whirlwind
Wow… I’m tired. We arrived back home at 11:00 PM last night after spending much of the last five days back in Oregon. What a time we had… I’m sitting here looking back on it all and I’m overwhelmed with a feeling of love, laughter, and community. We have a big life there. So manyContinue reading “Whirlwind”

Friday Adventures
Karen and I decided last week we would go out and about every Friday afternoon that she could manage it (she has to work on her blackberry while we are out) to explore a new place or restaurant or thing. Mostly that will be in Portland, but we aren’t limiting ourselves. Last week this newContinue reading “Friday Adventures”

Honk If You Love Elvis
Honk If You Love Elvis, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl. Ok, I had to post this. We didn’t honk because we weren’t in a car, but damn, I would have if we had been driving. Who doesn’t love Elvis?
