Let’s get together

“Let’s get together!” or even better “We need to get together!” – What does it mean? Say you see someone you haven’t seen in sometime, this person could be an old friend, acquaintance, old neighbor, workmate, or parent of your kids friends – anyone really...

Wealth Investor

OK, so you apparently don’t need to be smartest the tool in the shed to be a wealth investor, granted a degree from The Wharton School of Business helps (um – which I attended during high school and realized it just wasn’t me, oh and I failed miserably). But my...

Cruising down the shopping isle yesterday I noticed some Pepsi bottles – or cans that looked like bottles. Retro Pepsi. They were cool – so I bought a couple. It was the first time in a long time the thought of buying a Pepsi crossed my mind – but...

Locks of Love

Ana got a short cut. It’s been a while since she had short hair. I had to look at a photograph on the wall just to see what she looked like with short hair. The photograph was taken almost three years ago. Until yesterday, her hair flowed almost all the way down her...

Deschutes River Brains

On the way home for lunch this afternoon, crossing over the Veterans Memorial Bridge, I stopped to look at the Deschutes. It was awesome. The snow which was stacked on top of the flowing river for almost two weeks had begun to melt – or coagulate – or...
