One in the saddle, one on the ground
Spring has arrived & with it my driving need to do all the things, every day, all at once. The longer days also bring with the increased energy to get more done-not all the things, but more than Winter Jamé feels like bothering with. Riding, hiking, DMV, house cleaning & writing all in the same […]
Read MoreI wasn’t quite sure where to start this post, or more like journal entry, but stream of consciousness has usually been my go to, so here goes… This week I turned 27, which compared to most of my coworkers leaves me the baby of the office. And yet I don’t feel like a […]
Read MoreThe world is bursting into crazy spring, cherry blossoms, tulips, rainbows as far as the eye can see. The south wind is blowing hard & of course I’m full tilt crazy. Each spring comes, & that exuberant south wind fairly shouts at me to set loose, make a change, hit the road. This year […]

I tried running in high school & frankly sucked at it, but considering my life now it’s a good way to exercise, […]
Read MoreMemories are a tricky thing, never perfectly trustworthy & apt to change or fade over time. But I have good reason to clearly recall what I was doing today, five years ago; labor! I wrote one of my most in depth blogs ever about it, but suffice to say it was a memorable event! […]
Read MorePre-coffee morning thoughts… I have a pretty drive, which seems weird as my commute is through the heart of the Portland Metro area. Coming down & around the Terwilliger Curves, sometimes Mt. Hood is just there, your huge, friendly neighborhood Mr. Perfect GQ level mountain.

Read MoreBelow is the letter I wrote & emailed to the NYC Council members, before it was announces this morning they would not bw voting on the carriage horse ban bill in disguise. I have a lot more to say on this topic, but the industry has found a bit of breathing space in the Council’s […]
