Inspired by Joan and John, the newly married, 70+ year old couple who shared their homemade Christmas cookies and life-long wisdom on loving & living during a six-hour flight.
I like to think I am pretty good at leading an exciting and moderately successful life (thanks entirely to opportunities paved by a loving family and outstanding [...]

Who would’ve thought there were so many popular Swedish bands in the 1970’s? Even more odd is that someone has been collecting and storing images of these bands for 30+ years.
My favorite Swedish band from the 1970s is Thur Erics. Not because the members’ have the same first name, but because they have the same [...]

When god gives you rain you’ve got two options: 1.) make one with the couch and college football, or 2.) climb the nearest mountain with skis until you find snow. Actually, I’m sure there are more options, but those are the only two I was considering when the rain began to fall this weekend. That [...]

It’s so good that I don’t want to spend too much time blogging about it. So: saw some great art & music, reunited with old friends, went for a run on the lake-front, and met some cool agency folks.
Soon I’ll be en route to Cleveland for the 5th annual Marzullo Family Fall Fiesta… [...]

Oregon’s most spectacular mountain absolutely owned me this morning… That’s the short story. Here’s the extended version: It was 2:30AM on Sunday when my alarm clock began to chirp. The “stoke” was high, so there was no need to hit snooze. Instead, I threw on my already laid-out clothes, devoured some already made oats, [...]

The bad thing about fall in Portland is the rain. The good thing about this particular fall is that I have no reason to ride a bicycle since I’ve given up Cyclocross. It’s my longest bicycle vacation since I’ve been competitive, it’s refreshing to say the least. Hopefully it’ll make training for a stellar road [...]

I’ve been in need of a spectacular experience for sometime now and am happy to say last night was just that, spectacular! It started off pretty typical – got home from work, went for a run, made some chow… Nothing too crazy. That is until I meandered down the hill and into the Arlene Schnitzer [...]

I hate to over-speculate, but tomorrow’s Sigur Ros show in Portland promises to be in my top five concert experiences… Somewhere in the mix with Radiohead, Daft Punk, Bjork, and Rage Against the Machine.
Miraculously, a lucky friend and I will be sitting 2nd row center… Whooo Whoooooooo!

Is there some truth in Parody? As funny, insulting, or empowering as it is – a great parody has some truth to it. Last night’s SNL parody of Thursday’s VP debate demonstrates just that… At least in my opinion.

Here’s how: Hope your child’s super cute, enable him/her to be uber funny, take a video, post it to the web, and wait. I’m not sure if that was the intention here, but I venture to guess this is not the last I see of this adorable child.

First Palin’s email gets hacked, then Disney decides to make a mockery of her northern lifestyle, then Sarah Palin’s Facebook profile is made public… Sad? Yes! But funny nonetheless.

With Fall in Portland, OR comes rain, wind, and–for some–seasonal depression, but first we receive some of the most spectacular Fall sunrises in the country… Second only to Badlands, SD.

My two favorite things in the world are 1.) bicycles, and 2.) coffee. There are ton of close seconds, but when it comes down to it bikes and coffee reign supreme. Apparently, there’s at least one guy in Portland who shares the same passions. In fact, he so passionate of bikes and coffes that he [...]

Unless you’re cheese, wine or George Clooney, the likelihood of getting better with age is not high. That, however, is not true for Neil Patrick Harris (NPH)–first known as Doogie Howser M.D. After a near-decade disappearance, Harris resurfaced in Hollywod utilizing his child hood star status to make waves… Or at least laughs.
If you thought [...]
