A Casual Ramble About the Horror of Glengarry Glen Ross

A Casual Ramble Previewing the Portland Trail Blazers’ 2024-25 NBA Season

It’s going to be a long one and I am fully prepared; this team is going to suck. But by how much?

A Casual Ramble Before My First Trail Blazers Preseason Game

Tonight, the Portland Trail Blazers play Ratiopharm Ulm in their third preseason game at the Rose Garden. This is the one preseason game I will be attending and I have more than a few things I am interested to see.

The Casual Camera: Last Day of the Tyrannosaur

I waited all summer long to see the Tyrannosaurus Rex exhibit at OMSI. Something held me back. I just had to dig to find it.
