ByChrisMore or less made it to the new year last night, but only just. We stayed up “late” by watching a movie and heading for bed at 10:00pm. We’ve been on sleep triage lately trying to get to bed soon after the baby. This was an exception. I read until about 11:50 and fell asleep. …

Beginning On Purpose
ByChrisBeginnings are opportunity. Many of us stare at a new beginning in the coming days. Wrapped in changing schedules, a return to school, or a relocation. Maybe all of the above. Many of us now exit a sort of hibernation phase. For many of us, this has been the longest ever disruption to our usual…

Snissors
ByChrisA short conversation between my wife and our son: “I like using the snissors.” “What were you using them on?” “I was cutting the ground.” “You mean the carpet?” He shows his mischievous smile. “That’s why you don’t get to use the snissors, babe.

Remember that time…
ByChrisA conversation my four-year-old son does not have with his friend from preschool: “Hey Zachy, remember that time you smashed me in the face with a bucket?” “What’s that you say, Jakey?” “Yeah, it was a bucket.” “Ummm…” “You were spinning around holding it at arm’s length, just going around and around and around.” “A…

Great Summer, But…
ByChrisIt’s the time of year in Oregon where the weather says it’s still summer, but school calendars, sports schedules, and changing activities say otherwise.

Addition by Ron: A Birthday Ode
ByChris“I’m now living my 85th year.” That’s how Ron put it this morning. He was in our swimming pool during lap swim, his usual lane 8. Privilege is too artless a word to describe how lucky I feel to know Ron these past 7 ½ years I’ve lived in Portland. He is easily on my…
