my editor would remind me to record social media video content and then I'd have to let the curse take me.

imagining what any of my editors would say if I started story research not with a records request but by watching The Cursed Cassette Tape That Kills Josh Hartnett Within One Business Week. if any of my writers did that, my Millennial Manager syndrome would flare up so bad, I can feel it.

My last one was a 2005 Superbowl champion. He was very plainly in over his head with us so I mostly kept going for story inspiration, because who's not going to want to watch a movie where Travis Kelce counsels the gays.

More than anything, I wish my mom had mentally prepared to retire. I wish I knew I needed to have Those Conversations. They take so much knowledge with them, and it's too late by the time you know you need it. Enough about me. Good on @wweek.com for making us more aware of how to age in Portland.

Portland's second Bar Rescue episode is the best known (RIP The Penis Room). The first, while more successful, gets less ink. I visited Over Easy Bar and Breakfast, fka Six Point Inn, with @wweek.com to look back on a decade-plus since its TV appearance: www.wweek.com/drink/2026/0...
