4 games in 2 days

Posted on September 16, 2026

Jonah and I went to four baseball games in two days last week . . .it was A LOT of baseball, a lot of driving, BUT we did have a great time. The itinerary was leave Eugene at 5:00 am and drive to Tacoma, Washington to see a day game involving the AAA level Tacoma Rainiers. The Rainiers are affiliated with the Seattle Mariners. Then when that day game concluded, we drove to Seattle, about 30 miles away, to catch a Mariners game. My brother joined us which was fantastic. We then ferried across the water and stayed with family on Bainbridge Island for a quick night of sleep (like 5 to 6 hours total) and then got up and did the exact reverse…

Sara and I spent the day in Portland celebration our 20th anniversary! We went up to the Portland Japanese Gardens and then went to the Portland Fire WNBA game against the New York Liberty. A fun day was had by all (at least us!). Near one of the ponds at the gardens Koi The sun came out and went away and came out again which made for a beautiful day. Players warming up. I realized when we got into the building that I hadn’t actually been in that building since sometime in the early 1980s when I went to watch the Portland Trailblazers play an NBA game, probably agains the Seattle SuperSonics, too. The memory was nice. Sara in her NY Liberty shirt as…

“April, come she will . . . .” A few photos from recent things going on. A week from now, though, I’ll be in Stockholm, Sweden, meeting up with my friend Kurt as we head south to Copenhagen to attend a concert being performed by Paul Simon. I’ve always enjoyed his music and am very much looking forward to this show. I just finished listening to the audio book that Malcolm Gladwell did called, “Miracle and Wonder: Conversations with Paul Simon.” Some of my earliest childhood memories are hearing Simon and Garfunkel being played on the radio in the house I grew up in, too. Paul Simon is such an amazing and dynamic creator and artist. Plus meatballs in Sweden. And whatever else happens…

Florida – 2025

Posted on July 14, 2025

I recently spent 10 days in Florida as a graduation trip for Jonah’s high school graduation, doing the things that are important and of solid interest to Jonah. I managed to sneak in a few things for myself (wildlife, running, etc.), which were also good fun. It was a great trip overall. I missed topography. I enjoyed the wildlife, people, and food, and sometimes even the warmth. Home now and back to life in the northwest. This will be several posts as I go through the photos. First up is the final run of the Emerald City Trail Series, though. This was my “uniform,” if you will, but I did wear it consistently through this race series. Lightning bolt socks, a great lightweight and…
