May I weigh in?

Posted on May 28, 2025

May has come and gone. I am woefully behind in this space as we have been super busy lately. Photos below and my Now page was recently updated as well. Jonah holding the UO Softball Super Regional Championship trophy. Some very good games were seen this year as the team is off to Oklahoma City for the College World Series! Sara and I went on a hike near Cottage Grove: Brice Creek and Trestle Creek Falls. It was a lovely green day to be out and about! Behind the falls. Brice Creek flowing along. On Monday I did my run around the Pioneer Cemetery, which is adjacent to campus.

Sports & bagels & recovery

Posted on March 23, 2025

Running long takes it out of me and I usually forget this part of the process . . . so it is! Nora is playing softball, & my friend Cleven joined the UO Noon Runners group for our run this weekend (and it is because of Cleven that I got connected with this group) and almost every weekend I head up to the local amazing bagel shop, Lox, Stock and Bagels, to gather a baker’s dozen for the coming week. Today was no exception. At bat Cleven has this way of disarming everyone he meets by yelling a hearty, “Good Morning!” as we pass by. Running is fun and Cleven brings that in spades. Freshly made daily. Lox, Stock and Bagels is the place…

Something old, something new

An old photo of my mom, Clara Josephine Roach, from probably 1945 or so. She was a beautiful young woman. I’ve been helping out Nora’s softball team lately by selling tickets to other sporting events at the high school and leaves are changing ’round here. Lovely in all the best ways. Mom, on my work bulletin board. Ticket sales. When folks ask what constitutes a “Senior Citizen,” my response is that the answer lies in the hair color. It gets a laugh and they get in free to boot. 😉 One of my favorite campus trees, outside of Friendly Hall. Autumn is a stunner.

Butte to Butte, reading & lego

Posted on July 8, 2024

I ran in the Butte-To-Butte 10k run on the 4th of July. It was the 50th anniversary of the race here in Eugene and it was super fun. I also began and finished a new novel by one of my favorite writers, Joe Wilkins, called, The Entire Sky. Truly a story of the 90s, of Montana, of growing up and old and changing families. A very good read. Plus some labor to build a softball pitching area in the field behind my house for Nora & finally, revisiting building with legos! At the end of the race with a few runners from the Big Timber Running Club The Entire Sky. Beautiful, simply put. My friend Tom and I went to a reading by Joe…

Lights, cameras & action

Posted on May 17, 2024

This is a post on the lighting studio that takes place in the College of Design as the lights have been set up for their show. It’s always a fun event. Plus softball has begun! This one is my favorite of the bunch Final Kidsports season of softball. Good times all the way around . . . !
