January 26, 2020 The Beat Goes On I grew up in the Northwest. Rain is the norm. Wet weather can limit activities, hinder weekend recreation. I recall one of the go-to choices for a rainy Saturday was a trip to Bonneville Dam. Tour the museum, count the fish, visit the hatchery. Not a lot of… Continue reading The Beat Goes On.

Fair Enough. Resurrected Post.
September 1, 2019 Fair Enough I have been writing about little excursions here and yon recently, haven’t I? Well, I’ve been taking these little trips, after all. No reason not to mention them. For example, today I drove MBW and the HA down to the State Capital for the State Fair. Rides, livestock, and fried… Continue reading Fair Enough. Resurrected Post.
Florence. No, Not That One. Resurrected Post.
August 25, 2019 Florence. No, Not That One. MBW, the HA, and I just returned from a weekend at the central Oregon coast, visiting my father and step-mother. A late return means much to do in a short time before Monday’s inevitable arrival. Thus this will be primarily a pictorial post. Lucky you. Here are… Continue reading Florence. No, Not That One.

San Antonio, Part Two. Resurrected Post.
March 31, 2019 San Antonio, Part Two I’ve returned from vacation in San Antonio. I’d like to say rested and refreshed, but I’m not here to lie to you, dear reader. I came down with a cold during my trip and I’m far from either rested or refreshed. Friday, the first day back in the… Continue reading San Antonio, Part Two. Resurrected Post.
San Antonio. Resurrected Post.
March 24, 2019 San Antonio The Alamo, as if you needed me to tell you that. The web log is travelling. The HA is anxious to get to Six Flags. Who has time to write? So instead of my usual maunderings, here are some photos of San Antonio, Texas. Lion Tamers Butterfly day at the… Continue reading San Antonio. Resurrected Post.
Another Obligatory Thanksgiving Post. Resurrected Post.
November 25, 2018 Another Obligatory Thanksgiving Post Advice from a man who probably has no business giving advice: Remain grateful but beware contentment. There, that ought to cover Thanksgiving. MBW, the HA, and I drove to the Oregon Coast Wednesday for an extended Thanksgiving weekend. The weather was appropriately Oregon Coast-ish: wet and windy, though… Continue reading Another Obligatory Thanksgiving Post. Resurrected Post.
Eugene, Oregon 2018. Resurrected Post.
November 4, 2018 Eugene, Oregon 2018 A cool fall day in a college town on a football Saturday is classic Americana. I traveled to Eugene and back this weekend for precisely that. A taster tray and a good lunch started the festivities on a positive note. Hop Valley puts out some tasty beers. In… Continue reading Eugene, Oregon 2018. Resurrected Post.
Grab Bag: Year’s Finest Fantasy, Texas Renaissance Festival, and Savage Journal Entry 11.
I picked up a paperback copy of Terry Carr’s inaugural Year’s Finest Fantasy. In all honesty I may have read this before, as a kid, shortly after its publication in 1978. The more I read (or re-read) the more convinced I became. Some of these stories are familiar, naggingly so. I can’t speculate based on… Continue reading Grab Bag: Year’s Finest Fantasy, Texas Renaissance Festival, and Savage Journal Entry 11.
The State of the Web Log. Resurrected Post.
September 16, 2018 The State of the Web Log This is post number two hundred and nineteen. That’s over two years of posting, almost without fail every Sunday. Time, I think, to consider the State of the Web Log. And the State of the Web Log is — I dunno. It isn’t breaking any… Continue reading The State of the Web Log. Resurrected Post.
