Leaving the house for our first La Bohème. Another @portlandopera.bsky.social season begins. I can’t think of the last time I wore a tie. It might have been to opera last year.

Tara and I are spending the holidays in London with her family. It’s a mile between the house to the stadium. I’ll be very disappointed if Santa doesn’t take the time to get this for me. #coyi

Tara went to Zion National Park in the mid-90s and has wanted to return since. My Mom, Dad and others say it’s their favorite NP. I’ve never been…Until today. Believe the hype. Pictures don’t, can’t capture the beauty, colors and scale. So, these may be the only shots I share here.

Good morning from the Governor Victor Atiyeh International Concourse! Not-so-good governor. Great guy. There was a time when Oregon Republicans weren’t dicks. There are reasons why he’s the last R elected governor. That was 43 years ago. 1/

It *should* not be newsworthy that the position of a major political party is that people in a country legally can stay. I gotta give the Tories credit, though. This is not the position of Republicans.
