Day 218: Sipping The Dark Brew

July 17, 2010 Commentary, Oregon Local, Writing No comments

An ode to coffee, or perhaps an homage?  For every drop I consume an ounce of inspiration is created and I consider that a pretty fair deal.

Day 211: Saute Saturday

July 10, 2010 Oregon Local, Writing No comments

So, it went from the mid-70′s to several days of high-90′s and now it’s trending back down to mid-80′s over the weekend and then back into the 60′s next week.  We love Oregon!  To celebrate, I am enjoying a mug of hot coffee and thanking the tech gods that our PC’s survived the spike in temperature.   The pet’s all agree that hot weather is not fun, probably because they are not allowed in the pool to cool themselves off.  And of course at the end of this month we are packing up and hitting the road for Minneapolis.

That is another story so for now I bid you all adieu and will talk at you later.

Day 209: Holy Fuck, It’s Hot

July 8, 2010 Commentary, Oregon Local, Writing No comments

It’s 7am and I’m already sweating like a pig.  But what do you expect in Oregon?  Last week it was in the 70′s and now the temperature jumps up by 20 degrees.  Ack.  Later today it will be approaching the century mark and I’ll be grateful for having a desk job in an air conditioned building.

(Update: 8:55am)

70 degrees and climbing

Day 207: Here Comes The Sun

July 6, 2010 Commentary, Oregon Local, Writing No comments

On a Tuesday in July the sun came to Oregon. How long it plans on gracing our presence is open to debate but for now I can verify firsthand that it’s here.
You can hear the buzz in the crowd as everyone rejoices over the possibility of having persistent sunshine for the remainder of the summer. Of course, the old guard already knows that nothing is guaranteed when it comes to Oregon weather and the rain can return at any moment. So for now we shall simply take what we can get.
