Don’t mind me, just mourning a tree I’ve loved for half my adult life.
If you’ve ever been so lucky to enjoy a weekend at Hardly Strictly or a lazy day lounging in Hellman Hollow…you know this tree.
I’ve never considered myself a treehugger, but I wish I could give this one a hug goodbye.

Update from the Portland “war zone”: I have encountered a team of unruly third grade soccer players. Reinforcements needed.

Scene from the Portland “war zone” - I report to you from a crowded cafe wherein a group of retired women are gathered to write postcards to voters while others sip lattes and eat pastries. Wish me luck.

Apparently 3rd grade is the grade students learned to play the recorder. Our house will never be the same.

A day of whiplash reading climate headlines. The Trump administration is seeking to move the U.S. into true pariah -- perhaps even criminal -- status on the global stage. For shame.

What a shameful scene they've created. Can you imagine walking to your place of employment and waiting to find out if you've been fired by scanning your badge? Just despicable.
