… how atrocious the weather is 9 months of the years. I was a tad late getting up the hill, so I missed the best part of the sunset. Nevertheless, a 75 degree evening, over looking downtown, with a big old volcano looming in the distance feels pretty grand.

Help Fight ALS, Win Awesome Prizes from Portland Design Works and Nuun!
Becky and I are doing ALS Double Day fundraiser ride again this year. The two-day ride in Washington’s Skagit valley raises money for the Evergreen Chapter of the ALS association. In order to help motivate people to donate, I’ve put together a little fundraiser raffle. For every $5 you donate to my fundraiser page, you [...]
Remembering Granddad Bob
Granddad Bob with Bud in hand. My grandfather passed away Monday night. It didn’t come as a surprise. He’d been in the hospital since the previous week after having a bad heart attack while mowing the lawn at his house. Surprise or no, the passing of a relative is still sad and still a shock [...]
Meet David Flopster Wallace
Better pictures to come. Becky and I adopted a bunny. His name is David Flopster Wallace. He is awesome. Becky and her EarthCorps coworkers were working in Frink Park down in Leschi on Tuesday when she spotted a black bunny hanging out near by. Her coworker Zach walked over to investigate and found that the [...]
This Picture Is Awesome.
Seen here. I don’t know who took it or where it’s from, unfortunately.
Johnny Knoxville: Investigative Journalist?
When I think of Johnny Knoxville, I tend to think of him in the light of the above picture. My sister and I used to love Jackass and watched it religiously in high school. But, with the show off the air, Knoxville has branched off into other endeavors, some of which are pieces of serious [...]
Christmas Day at Wallace Falls (Part 2)
This is part two of my two-part Christmas tale. Read part one here. The view from the “kitchen” on Christmas morning. We woke up to cloudy, but dry skies on Christmas morning. It took a little bit of motivation to leave the warmth of the cabin for the brisk and windy porch, but ultimately the [...]
Christmas Eve At Wallace Falls (Part 1)
Awkward waterfall self portrait. This year marked the first Christmas Becky and I have spent together in the three-plus years we’ve been dating. The decision to stay out on the west coast for the holidays was inspired less by romance than by a lack of money and the fact we’d both been east for Thanksgiving. [...]
The Softest of Kittens
Dear pretend blog readership, I’ve got some bigger posts in the works, but have been amazingly exhausted by my crappy 6-days-a-week seasonal job doing packing and shipping for an online jewelry company (funny story about ignorance and bigotry coming soon!) so I haven’t been posting at all. It’s over this Thursday. Expect at least a [...]
Overdue Housekeeping Notes About My Life
There were a few noteworthy changes in my life, both bad and good, at the end of October/beginning of November. In typical me fashion, I completely neglected to mention any of it on this blog. The Bad: I am no longer writing my PubliCola column. The short version of the story is that PubliCola wanted [...]
