Welcome to Day 3 of Cle Elum Memories. This is the day that may convince you I’m delusional. And if I hadn’t experienced these things with my own eyes and ears, I might be inclined to agree with you you, but since I did indeed experience them, I can no longer consider anyone else delusional […]

This is Part two of my week-long Cle Elum Memories series. (I had no idea it would become a series. So many memories have been flooding my mind that it’s hard to keep track of them all!) But first, a little history. Cle Elum means “swift water” in the Yakama language. That’s because (duh!)

I’m taking a trip to Cle Elum (pronounced Klee-Ell-UM) next week to reconnect with a number of Class of 1969 schoolmates. I’ve only visited this small town in the Cascades a handful of times since I left there in the early 70’s because so many unsettling memories arose every time I thought about doing so:

I am in a protracted blue funk right now, and walking it off isn’t an option, because it’s raining pretty much nonstop right now. GRRR! But I have a busy schedule ahead of me, so getting out and connecting with relatives and far flung friends should help the situation. If it doesn’t, I will

For the first time ever, I waited until this morning to “Spring Forward” (to turn the clocks ahead in my home that don’t correct themselves automatically). Clock: What a weird-sounding word. The weirdness of the sound of the word just occurred to me as I began writing this post. “Clock” certainly doesn’t

Yesterday my front tooth implant was uncovered and a healing abutment placed, so in about a month I will have a permanent tooth there. WOO HOO! It has been a long time coming I started the process last April. I’ve been traveling to Seattle intermittently (every few months) to get the work done

Celestis has just announced the launch date for the Enterprise Memorial Launch. It will be May 4th (within a four-day window of that date). That’s so cool because if it actually launches on the 4th, it will be the 55th anniversary of the day I met DeForest Kelley for the first time, and —

It’s 12:33 so I’ve just turned 72 and thirty minutes old, according to my birth certificate. Funny, I don’t feel 72. I wonder what that’s supposed to feel like. I walked 10k steps yesterday and two days before that without incident. One Lucky Duck I have no chronic aches or pains, my

Just when I thought the GOP (Guilty Oppressive Party) couldn’t get any lower or scuzzier, they say “Hold My Beer!” and prove me wrong again. I don’t know if you’ve been watching the House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, but if you have, you know what a slog it’s been and
