My Superbowl Wish
I have thought this for weeks. I haven't had a computer and now I'm running out of time. Real quick here is my Superbowl wish. My Superbowl wish for Superbowl 49 (Roman numerals hurt my brain and I always know the Superbowl is one year younger than I am or will be in that year). …
My Return to Rip City
I'm a Portland native and I remember when the Trailblazers won their one and only NBA Championship in 1977. Portland is a small city and the Blazers are our only big time professional sports team. It isn't easy being a Blazer fan and I don't mean to portray myself as one but I am married …
I’m Also an NFL Prognosticator
I don't know if you all remember waaayy back in the fall when I wrote my NFL update columns but I did. This weekend the San Francisco FortyNiners and the Baltimore Ravens secured their places in Superbowl 47 to be played February 4 3 in New Orleans. You will see from the excerpts I've included …
Weekend Wrap Up
Brigid had a rough day yesterday so I'm a day late on my Weekend Wrap Up. Lots of big news to report. Most terrifically.... they caught the crazy ass murder neo-Nazi guy on Saturday afternoon in Corvallis, a town about 80 miles south of Portland. Yay!!! I can sleep soundly at night knowing that psycho …
Sparky Sporty Spice
Sparky I have officially returned to Sparkpeople.com. I do highly recommend this website. It has a calorie counter, fitness tracker, tons of tips and tricks and recipes. I think the best thing about using Sparkpeople is the website makes you think of things that you won't always think of on your own. How much water …

A Tale of Two Gearhart Vacations
I'm back from my 45th summer vacation in Gearhart. As I mentioned before I left, Gearhart is my most favorite place on earth. Gearhart is a village of just under 1500 residents located on the northern coast of Oregon. The First Tale In August 2008, a small plane crashed into a home in Gearhart. "The …
Up On My Soap Blog
I don't often get worked up enough about things to get preachy but I'm going to now. It's just 3 quick things so bare with me. I know it's "bear with me" although "bare with me" sounds like fun. Animal testing is bad. I have always thought animal testing meant trying out shampoo, soap, lotion, …
7 Day Jumpstart Workout: Day 1
Those of you who have been with me lo these many months know how this all started; I couldn't find a coat that fit me. So I went on Sparkpeople and dieted and lost 10 lbs. Now I'm stuck at the 10 pounds which is 33% of my goal. The first 10 came off relatively …
Final Four Bracket Strategery
As I'm sure everyone knows it's time for March Madness. My readers in England and Sweden may not know this and if they don't, they are right not to care because it is just silly. But it is silly fun that allows me to win money if I place my bets correctly on the NCAA …
