Regarding the trip(s) to the hospital(s).

February 25, 2021 By Finn Leave a Comment

the foot is lookin' better

As my sister shared on Facebook, Katie & I had to take a trip to the Hospital on Monday. Two hospitals, actually. We’re okay. Katie, in particular, is okay. It might have been the first day working towards an anticipated late-August due date for an event we hope to announce in March.There might have been […]

The first time the OldOld Man saw a Volkswagen Bug (Happy Veterans Day)

November 11, 2020 By Finn Leave a Comment

OldOld Man at boot Camp. Ft. Hood, I believe. WW II

As I was reminded by Facebook Memories, had any of this been normal, The OldOld Man would be headlining a local Veterans Day luncheon event or two back home, again, in Indiana. A little grub at the Rotary Club. A little dessert at his retirement community. A long nap after. But those events are cancelled, […]

“No, we don’t own the Bistro,” and how neighbors work together ’round here.

Short: Who owns Garibaldi Portside Bistro? That’s Dennis & Amanda Cavitt of Garibaldi, Oregon. They live behind us, or we live to their side, or something like that. The Cavitts were the one who purchased the building that housed The Troller Restaurant & Lounge, and that’s where quite a few of us spent much of […]

On reaching Level 40 in Pokémon GO

February 20, 2019 By Finn Leave a Comment

I don’t love Pokémon GO. I like it, but I don’t love it. Still, I put in an insane number of hours to reach Level 40, the final level. How hard is it to reach Level 40 on Pokémon GO? Reaching Level 40 on Pokémon GO is like finishing a 100,000-piece puzzle without a picture, […]

otis finn, adopted from tillamook k9 rescue

Katie & I have been talking about getting a bigger dog since we moved from California. One that could run in the yard. One that could stand up to a coyote. One that could be integrated into our dog tribe as Enzo & Lily get up there in age. We started thinking more & more […]

“How’s the other coast?”

November 10, 2018 By Finn Leave a Comment

View of Tillamook Bay from Holly St., Garibaldi, OR

We’re sheltered from most the world here in this fishing village along the “other coast.” It’s funny, I’ve now lived near the Atlantic coast, Third coast, South Shore, Gulf Coast, Bay Area, and now Tillamook Bay & the Oregon Coast. I really am afraid to be away from water, I think. And afraid to boat. […]

By the way, we moved to Oregon.

April 26, 2018 By Finn Leave a Comment

Hey, y’all, We hope y’all had a great 2017. It was weird not being at home for any of the Christmas holiday. Something felt a touch out of place. But, we kept moving and made sure to enjoy who was around – and go to a coffee shop that made change with $2 bills before […]

sundowns: book editing waiting remedies

To paraphrase Lennon & McCartney: “Boy, you’re gonna carry that weight, carry that weight a long time,” But my heart will be able to physically take it a little while longer. Doctor gave the clean bill of health, threw me an enzyme to take daily and told me to take that load off, [the] Fanny […]
