MINISTER OF SOMETHING.

This one time Jeremy and I went out to breakfast. We ran into some other people. You know, if Jeremy ran for President against Tom Hanks, I'd probably vote for Tom, but I would strongly be in favor of Jeremy being Secretary of State. Or Minister of War.

LEE AND JIM, BUDDIES.

Without these two guys in my life, I would probably have turned out much more normal, which would be sad. Truly two of the greatest and most eccentric people in the known universe. My uncle and dad. To hear them banter and argue...they'll probably go to their final resting places someday never realizing there's a name for their relationship with each other: BFFs. When aliens eventually land here, please let these two be the first humans they meet. They'll love us. Or they won't. One of the two. Titans. ____ #dads #uncles #pnw #leica #oregoncoast #44people

MARCHING IN MY HOMETOWN.

Honored to march in my little hometown with some of my faves, and in solidarity and support with many others across the country.

Never too young to stand, at least metaphorically. Some people are, quite literally, not able to stand yet. In that case, we can still help each other out.

Also, had a great conversation with the children afterwards about what it means when people driving by wave with their middle finger. One of the fellows next to me said it well:

"It means you just smile even bigger to the next person going past!"

EXPLORATIONS: ASTORIA.

Tell us a story!

BICYCLE RACE.

Art School, minus grades and clear delineations of student/teacher roles, where beards are optional and perfection frowned on. Draw on. 

Fashion changes. Style is forever.

ROALD DAHL FIGHTS THE BLAZERS VS. SPURS.

“We have so much time and so little to do. Strike that, reverse it.”

At the Moda Center, where there is literally hundreds of people (if not more) cheering and even sometimes yelling in support of the Blazers. I feel we shall prevail in the match tonight, but the path to victory will be wrought with hardship, blood, and possibly sweat.

Go Blazers.

GAME SPOILER AHEAD.

60-40.

On the downside, the Blazers have just played one of the ugliest, most disappointing halves of basketball I have ever seen.

On the upside, a buddy just gave me some red licorice, which I have not had in 12 years, and I fell in love with it and would like to start eating it daily now. Not those Twizzlers, which my dental hygienist alleges are bad for you, but the old school, rope vine kind that certainly has to pack some level of nutritional value.

Go Blazers.



File under: people who have been there for me and my siblings our whole lives.

And are now important figures in the lives of their grand-niece and grand-nephew.

Thanks

More on the holiday later. It was splendid.
