Kids all over Beaverton (and surrounding areas, from what I hear) have been outside all day in the rain protesting ICE activity (and the school district's inaction). Proud of these kids. We owe them so much better.

Just ordered the 2026 version of the planner I've used for the last 5 years. Noticed the description includes that it is "for women." I think I've been using it incorrectly all this time. Except that one time I wrote down my gynecology appointment?

Why is it that the people who are giving the most are some of the ones who have the least to give? Most of our population is generous. Most of the resources are controlled by the selfish.

My 20 year college reunion is next week, and I was first notified of it *last week.* I know I went to a small school, but it's been 20 years; do they really not think their alumni have spread their wings enough to need more than 2 weeks' notice for a major event?

Was told to arrive 15 min early for a 245 appt. Arrived at 215 because I'm like that. Was told I was 45 minutes early for my 3pm appt. (Confirmation email says 2:45). It's 10 past 3 and I'm still in the waiting room. 🙄
