Early July covers some things . . .

Posted on July 7, 2026

A lot has happened in early July: we attended the Savanah Bananas baseball entertainment event, went to the Prefontaine Classic Track Meet, volunteered at the Butte-To-Butte run and saw an impressive drone show following the first night of the track meet. The Savanah Bananas were, to my mind, meant to be akin to the Harlem Globetrotters basketball, but with baseball as the sport. It was “played” in the football stadium as well and it was loud . . . 90 decibals for most of the event. Was it worth it? Personally I don’t think so, but it was different and there was some fun in that. I’ve been working on my omelets lately, including the one above with bok choy, blue cheese and a…

Evidence of participation & old friends

Posted on November 9, 2025

I ran in the Silver Falls Half Marathon last weekend and a photo shows evidence of participation. Plus last night we went to a lovely house concert with our long time and former teaching pal, Tom Rawson and his wife, Ellen van der Hoeven. Look – it’s a couple of bald fellas! The cool thing about this race is you get to run behind two waterfalls in the canyon. The race was fun, save for the yellowjacket sting on my elbow . . .but even that wasn’t that bad . . . Bald is beautiful. Tom is a lovely guy, and a classic folk musician.

Basketball & Structures

Posted on October 31, 2025

UO Women’s Basketball is back! We headed to the arena last night for the first game. What I noticed? There are several solid long-range shooters it seems. Should be a fun season. Also, models on the wall in Lawrence Hall for the Structures class. The light and shadows are wonderful. Pre-game warm-ups. Empty arena, new floor with much better contrast than the old one. Structures. Hours of work, and cool designs. The whole wall of ’em.

JF, EK & The Good Rain

Posted on October 27, 2025

Friday evening Jeffrey Foucault and his pal Erik Koskinen came to town to play a show. They were joined on drums by JT Bates and the show was fantastic. As it always is. Erik played a baritone guitar to add some low notes to the set. For those playing at home, the tuning on this is: B-E-A-D-F#-B, which is a fourth lower than a standard guitar tuning. It’s always fun watching the musicians communicate and banter wordlessly with each other throughout the set as well. Plus a run in the good rain. It’s back. Fills me up! Starting out one of Jeffrey’s songs . . . . there is often laughter involved . . . On the bridge that goes over the Willamette River,…

Lately . . .

Posted on August 25, 2025

I am behind in my updates here so I’ll be trying to catch up a bit, though not necessarily in chronological order. Summer has been busy and good and hot and we’re in the midst of an extinction burst of heat in the upper 90s for a week or so, too. Wildfire season is starting to kick in in these parts as well, which is always a challenge. Photos of events and people most recent are below! Sara and her brother, Ricky, getting ready to head out on a scouring of Eugene bike ride on a nice sunny day during his visit with us. The visit was excellent and their ride was something like 36 miles long. Both of them are cyclists and it…
