My Favorite Trees This Time of Year

April 7, 2012

On SW Horizon Blvd. in Beaverton, the blossoms are out.

This is my favorite time of year (aside from tax season) and this little stretch of road between Scholls Ferry and Barrows has some of the most stunning shows nature has to offer.

If you’re headed to Cinetopia or Big Al’s, make sure you take this little drive before the wind blows them all away.

A wee outtake.

This may be the most difficult word in the English language.

Not really.

We’re All In Sales. So Get Over It.

March 30, 2012

This post originally appeared on Canada’s finest advertising place, The AdBuzz. Empirically, repurposing this post constitutes cheating. Kind of. The dreaded “s” word. Sales. For creative people, we try to run from the word like the plague. We avoid it at all costs. We shun the mere thought of it being part of our vocabulary. [...]

How’s That For A Break From Blogging?

March 27, 2012

Wow. That was quite a stretch of going dark. But there was a good reason — and she’s almost 4 months old. One of my colleagues noticed and asked me if I was concerned about being away from blogging for so long. Not at all. I have this theory about that. Work will always be [...]

Another Random Interview: Joe Piscopo

December 30, 2011

I often wonder about my odd intersection of interview opportunities. Here’s yet another, a conversation with Joe Piscopo. I loved him on Saturday Night Live (below is one of my all-time faves). I dig him because we both share a common New Jersey gene. I like him because he was just enjoyable to talk to. [...]

As The Mayor Of New Seasons/Progress Ridge, I Promise To __________________

December 10, 2011

Shop frequently. Speak French to Jean-Marie, the really well-dressed and super-friendly cashier. Get something other than peanut sauce in my delicious woks. Do that “savoring” face when checking out the smell of the amazing soups — you, know, that “mmmmmmm” thing with the closed eyes. Buy at least 2 Maui Gold pineapples a month. Always [...]

A Wee Outtake

Some Pics From Portland Saturday Market

December 7, 2011

Had a nice visit from my mom last week. After we dropped her off at the airport, a thought occurred to me: I had won a gift card to Portland Saturday Market from a photo contest at Portland Neighborhood last year and hadn’t yet used it. Since we live way out, we figured this was a [...]

John Corbett, Interpreting Voice Over Specs and You

December 1, 2011

It seems like there is a run on audition specs that call for John Corbett of late. “Should sound like John Corbett, but not exactly like him.” “We like John Corbett.” “We’re thinking that we want John Corbett. But not a soundalike.” Huh? Don’t get me wrong, I love the star of “Northern Exposure” (among [...]
