We have a room set up for our 3 y.o. granddaughter. She has my wife in there and when I went in to ask her to join me in another room, she said, as the girl boss walks in, I can’t, the warden just showed up. #GirlBoss #GrandpaLife

Lamar with the weather report, “and the snow has not been plentiful this year.” What can’t this man do? #RipCity

Is great news writing a lost art? I can’t see AI replicating a phrase like Mr. Povich wrote here.

Well. Several things happened on our hike today: 1. Spark is fond of moving geese. 2. Spark jumped into the Little Spokane River. 3. Sam learned Spark can (barely) swim. 4. Sam learned to NEVER let certain Whippets off leash around water and geese. #whippet #dogsofbluesky #MrNoodle

For Trump, a bedrock constitutional principle like the right to public protest is purely transactional, necessary only when it works to his advantage: His own supporters storming the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, in violent protest were “patriots,”

It feels like there is a game of musical chairs happening with head coach openings in the NFL and the Raiders seem to be late to finding the chair. #RaiderNation

This has the feeling of being “one of those games” like we had (a lot of) last year. Deni is just one dude too many to be out. #RipCity

Watching intros from Golden State and wow, do we have it good in PDX. Blazers intro video and presentation is so much better. Now let’s have a great game! #RipCity

The Steelers have had 4 head coaches since 1969. Meanwhile, the Raiders have had 4 head coaches since… 2021! CAN WE PLEASE HIRE A COACH TO TURN IT AROUND?!?!? #RaiderNation

Anyone who was alive in the 60s and 70s will agree that we are hearing echoes of the Kent State massacre. How long before we have multiple ICE “officers” shooting into a crowd of protesters? Conflicts are escalating and ICE is already trigger happy.

A few thoughts on tonight’s game: The Blazers made a lot of free throws at end of the game. Very clutch. Donavan had 15 rebounds! Dang! And that lob from Shae to Sidy near the end was electric! #RipCity

I applied for SS benefits in October, the earliest I could apply, hoping the decision would be done and ready for my first payment at full retirement. Well, no word on approval that is said to take 30 days. Why? Because there are not enough employees to process the data. Government efficiency? No.

This game is making me crazy. A combo of foul call imbalance, lazy passing and leaving bench players open on the baseline got me yelling at my tv. Cmon, Blazers! #RipCity

I have to admit, I did not like the NBC broadcast last night… at first. But after I listened to a half, I started to appreciate it for what it was - an innovative approach to broadcasting the NBA. I started to enjoy the banter between former ballers. #RipCity

Let me be clear… Make no mistake… The American People… Weak phrases from politicians. You aren’t being clear or you wouldn’t have to state it. People are obviously “mistaken” because your arguments are flawed. And get the American People’s name out of your mouth until you really know what we want.

Deni had a monster game. The guys kept it closer than I thought they would against the best team in the league, down two starters. Fun to watch. #RipCity

At the Civil Rights Museum today, I heard this musical rebuke to Richard Nixon written by Stevie Wonder. I was struck by how much the words also apply to Trump.
