Late March: daylight hours

Posted on March 27, 2026

We’ve had some things going on around here lately: Jonah dislocated both knee caps, Pinecone and Acorn are aging and it is noticeable, and a plethora of combination locks! Yeah, Jonah dislocated both knee caps while running around the ballpark a few backs and this week an MRI was done to see the damage. I thought this rug was interesting (are magnets really still shaped that way?). As Nora gets busier with her teen life, I’ve been helping these fellas as their DoorDasher lately. They are our pandemic pets, Pinecone (left) and Acorn (right) and, well, guinea pigs live from six to eight years. We’re six years in and they are funny ones. They recognize our footsteps or when the fridge door opens and…

Past times

Posted on January 25, 2026

It has been awhile since I have posted, so I’m going to try to put a few things up over the next few days. Here goes: Cleven (on the right) had a retirement party so we snapped this one of myself, Cleven and Tom. I met Tom through Cleven as Cleven got me connected to my one running group known as the “Noon Group.” The group used to run at noon, on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. The group still meets up on Saturdays now as most of the fine folks are retired. They lead the way and I look ahead with curiosity. Good luck to Cleven! After Christmas we went up to Seattle and took my brother to IKEA to get a new chair.…

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.

Chuckanut 50k & Bellingham, Washington

Posted on March 17, 2025

This weekend I ran the race. The Chuckanut 50k trail race in Bellingham, Washington. Bellingham is also where I attended college in the mid-1980s and this trip gave me a chance to look backwards a bit. I stopped by two houses I once lived in and ate at a couple of restaurants that I used to frequent as a college student. The race itself was really something else as the conditions were just so bad. Ankle deep mud, wind, sleet snow, and a bunch of trail runners all scampering along to the finish. Photos include evidence of participation and the places I once lived. Well I looked into a house I once lived inAround the time I first went on my ownWhen the roads…

All the things . . .

Posted on February 13, 2025

Well, not really, but close! My site was corrupted for a bit but is now OK, spent a whole night in the ER with Sara (all is OK), ran some, got some snow and ice and freezing rain, testing out new papers for the large format printers at work, a few ants in the place, plus the worries and worries and worries of so much and many . . . . Ants. They erupted from a wall which is unusual for winter time, here. Normally they are a summer season event in our place and even though with the cold I sure wish it could be a bit of summer, these critters were not really welcome. This is a beautiful story of grief, written…
