• For my upcoming “30 Days of Coffee Shops”, the basic rules are:

    1. It must be in N/NE Portland
    2. It must be “new to me”
    3. Coffee will be evaluated via a 16oz latte
    4. Ambiance will be evaluated
    5. “Remote Work Friendly” will be evaluated

    That’s it! Follow along!

  • One of the things I’ve wanted to do since the end of the Covid restrictions is to revisit my 30 days of coffee shops. Today I finally assembled my new list, and I will be doing the first review this weekend!

  • A true indicator that your hotel is a dive…

  • Alyeska, AK

  • How is this a surprise to anyone? Five years ago, I really wanted a Tesla. Now, you couldn’t give me one.

  • Homer, AK

  • Seward, AK

  • This is the Alaska I imagined before I arrived. Glad to know it can still deliver!

  • Moose!

  • Did I mention that Alaska is gorgeous? It’s simply breathtaking here and none of my photos can convey the depth of beauty.

  • Alaska is kinda odd.

  • Alaska is spectacular.

  • Every now and then, Safari on my Mac just stops accepting taps on links. The only recourse is to quit and restart. Refreshing the page does nothing. Seems like a bug.

  • Working from my backyard is so nice. I should do this more.

  • Today I learned that former presidents aren’t allowed to drive after they leave office.

  • This image captures a tragic story of cheese in Oregon. #iykyk

  • The tallest bridge in Oregon. Kind of disappointing it’s not easier to walk out onto.

  • Beautiful fog

  • Hopscotch art installation in Portland. Pretty cool!

  • I’m glad there’s finally reporting about how stores locking up their goods behind glass cases is bad for business. I HATE going to Target, etc now. And I’ve definitely had the impulse to purchase from Amazon to avoid what is now a very unpleasant shopping experience.

  • Shore Acres is such a beautiful place.

  • Working on something new, and I’m kind of excited about it…

  • Visited the Oregon coast this past weekend and when I came back to my car, I met a new friend!

  • Finished reading: “Surely You’re Joking, Mr. Feynman!": Adventures of a Curious Character by Richard P. Feynman 📚

    This was a great companion read to the Oppenheimer bio. Feynman was a fascinating character in every sense of the word.

  • Finished reading: American Prometheus by Kai Bird 📚

    Fewsh! Huuuugggggeeee book. I’d like to go rewatch the movie now. Thoroughly enjoyed this.
