The bus ride to the Hands Off protest in PDX was a great memory. Older demographic, standing room only. I sat next to an 82-year-old lady who was very prepared for the day.

Thinking about just bringing my 35-year-old solar powered portable 10-key to Saturday’s protest.

In line at Costco, person in front of me is completely lost as to what to do at the check out - and admits it out loud. “No worries, we got you. Welcome!”.

Booker: 15 hours now

I went to bed and Senator Cory Booker was on the Senate floor speaking…woke up to the same. Respect.

March 14 was 53 days.

I’m starting to think our kitchen’s ant problem will be the least of our worries this week.

Did we spend the 50th Anniversary of the premiere of The Bionic Woman watching the Six Million Dollar Man episodes where she dies but then comes back from the dead two episodes later? Yes, yes we did.

If you want to know how bad it is…I actually got to invoke my 1980s knowledge of Howard Ruff’s Ruff Times newsletter at today’s investment committee meeting…because gold is doing so well. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howard_...

Reality television opportunity!

I made a huge mistake. Today I learned just how much of a Best Foods Mayonnaise person I really am.

For some reason, in 2025 this play hits a whole lot different.

Sunny, gorgeous day in Portland, Oregon - and the itchy eye season has begun!
