My hand in golf.
When my son said, “6-7,” I thought maybe he learned to put some seasoning on his words.
Just a meme. I’m old. 💀

his mother tied up, one arm bound

I remember when the word 'resilient' was used in the aftermath of a local wildfire.
I remember hearing the same word from executives warning of looming layoffs and downsizing.
I decided to explore the meaning for myself.

#NoKings in Vancouver, Wa.
Our city is among the largest in Washington State and was damn close to going Trump. Our congresswoman famously broke ranks with Democrats on key issues, too, to appease her conservative constituents.
Yet, when it comes to the health of our democracy, Vancouver shows up.

The best affirmations come without warning, often from someone you don’t know.
Somehow ambiguity makes the message feel a little truer.
Sometimes a few words from a stranger is all you need.

When we moved here the forest came right up our home. Thick pines cast long shadows over my neighborhood, swaying and creaking when the wind picked up. That was my escape.
Twenty years later and the forests are gone, replaced by endless rows of cheap, luxury houses.
