This weekend was so much fun. My visit with Tracy and Mark was excellent, and I got a good look at Portland, Oregon, and Vancouver, Washington. Somehow I’m going to have to learn how to plug in time for myself for blogging when I go on trips like this so that I can [...]
I love being on the road. Almost any excuse to drive through new and unknown country seeking out Love, Happiness, and Adventure will suffice. This time a long time friend that I haven’t seen in forever has invited me to come up to Vancouver for a visit.
One of Ashland’s most attractive features is the little park that runs along Ashland creek. As a newcomer to Ashland I find this to be one of the most enjoyable and accessible parks of anywhere that I’ve lived. And I’ve lived in a lot of places. The entrance to the park is [...]
Last night I attended a performance of Luis Bravo’s Forever TANGO at The Craterian Ginger Rogers Theater in Medford, Oregon.
After my introduction to Tango this weekend in Ashland it seemed like a great idea. Most of the people I met at the workshop were going, and I didn’t know when I would have an [...]
There is an active Tango community in Ashland, and I became aware of it through my friend Jesse at Bikram Yoga. About a week ago he was asking one of the ladies if she was planning to attend the Tango workshop coming up. Tango? Workshop? I couldn’t help overhearing, and I [...]

Yesterday Dooce, one of the blogs that I read religiously, had a great story about a racoon living in her chimney. It reminded me of a recent racoon event of my own.
I was couch surfing at a friend’s house in San Diego, and in the middle of the night I heard the cat growling [...]
Tuesday morning I left the beach house in Malibu again. I’m moving to Ashland, Oregon, and plan to stay there until Burning Man in August. After Burning Man? who knows where I’ll go.
The debate was to take the 101 up to San Francisco or just to take Interstate 5 all the way [...]
This morning I’m leaving Los Angeles and moving for a time to Ashland, Oregon. The journey isn’t so long as a thousand miles, but it still begins with a single step. In today’s world, physical distance as an obstacle is obsolete. I can travel from any point in the world to any [...]
This morning I experienced a bona-fide iPod emergency.
Let me put this into perspective. I’ve been misbehaving with my money for most of my life. I knew that things were bad, because even though I was earning pretty good money I was always broke. Not fun, especially out here in Los Angeles.
Last year I moved back [...]
