55-yard passing play

Big gain

@VWIII7 @CalFootball

Today’s sequence comes from this past Saturday, when I was on the sidelines for the Beavers vs. Bears game in Reser Stadium on the campus of Oregon State University. Vic Wharton III caught this pass for a near touchdown. Cal won by a score of 49-7.

Catch me if you can

Russian Circles' Mike Sullivan

@sargenthouse @CrystalPortland @RussianCircles

I was fortunate last week to cross, not one but, two names off my bucket list of bands-I’ve-never-seen live. Ironically, two nights later I was talking with a guy who has a similar list. He listed Rammstein and Russian Circles as his numbers one and two. When I told him that Rammstein was also my number one and that I just saw Russian Circles for the first time, he was more than a little bit surprised. Anyway, Russian Circles were amazing; I had goosebumps galore through much of their set.

I guess my top five list will need to be updated. Maybe something like this:
Rammstein
Behemoth
Kampfar
This Will Destroy You
Heilung

RONE’s mural in PDX

RONE's "Every Rose has its Thorn" mural

#MuralArtsMonth #RONE #MuraloftheWeek #Portland #StreetArtPortland #StreetArtChat

I love a good mural. They can look great in person but somewhat uninteresting in photos in my opinion. Therefore, I don’t tend to post my photos of murals. However, this one (corner of SW 12th and Washington in Portland, Oregon) is exceedingly cool for a few minutes each sunny day when the light hits it just right.

One year ago today…

Mount Hood

Mt. Hood from Hood River, Oregon

Our first night on the way to The Gorge last week was spent in an RV on a friend of a friend’s property near Hood River. We pulled in after dark, enjoyed some late night discussion and beverages on the deck, and then went to bed. Upon waking up in the morning, we welcomed in a new day with a new view. I don’t really like arriving at new places after dark, but the morning surprise was neat.
