Canadians in my feed, can you weigh in on this??

I was asked who I think the most famous Canadian is tonight and then I was mocked for asserting that it is absolutely Wayne Gretzky. One woman at an adjoining table actually said she’s 45 and had never heard of Wayne Gretzky, so what do I know really?

Mount tabor hike two! In which I saw a coyote

I am available for all lightly sourced opinions on Portland traffic vs. Sacramento — but here’s the truth. Sacramento’s roads are in disrepair and its drivers are doing dangerous things all day every day. Portland roads are well maintained and its drivers let you merge into the freeway

I’m a NYer who relocated west so you can completely disregard my West Coast opinions if you’re a native… But I just moved to Portland AND I LOVE THIS PLACE and like it way more than Sacramento … and I liked living in Sacramento! Wishing y’all the best finding your place in 2026

First full day in Portland … Climbed a volcano

I’ve driven 15 hours in the last 1.5 days and still have 12 more to go today

I like my silence so I’m afraid I don’t understand the point of the AI girlfriend. Are these dudes dating Siri just lonely incels who have seen everything on television already??

Six months ago I was basically paralyzed by the circumstances of life; I had just been let go from a job I didn’t like, and my dog had a catastrophic stroke out of nowhere… I went from being sure everything would work out to overwrought with anxiety in 24 hours… Thankful it all worked out

Heyyy I moved to Portland today (but I still haven’t actually fully moved out of my Sacramento spot)

I still don’t know too much about Portland to be honest— and I’m moving in three days — but I just learned about Forest Park, which is even bigger than Central Park and has about 80 miles of dog-friendly trails. It’s one of the largest urban forests in America and it’s two miles from my apartment!

True Population Facts: I grew up in a town with about 35,000 people. It had an hourly train to a city with 8 million. I currently live in a state with FORTY million people … But I am moving to a state of only FOUR million people. Hey Oregon: looking forward to the elbow room

I covered 300 games in skydome/rogers centre It was my home office for four years when I was a young man Happy for the fans who have waited through a lot of bad baseball for this game

I’m not going out tonite which is clearly dorkish or dork adjacent BUT I’ll be watching game seven of the World Series so who’s the dork now? (Still me)

Y’all want to hear the dumbest price quote in American history?? I’m moving 600 miles north … I just want to move a mattress and bed frame … I asked a moving company & they said they would outsource it to a third party, it would take two weeks, and (Wait for it…) It will cost $4,800

Canadians you’ve been holding out on me: who is Mary Brown and why is her chicken so delicious??

We’re all rooting for a Game Seven, am I right???? (Sorry Toronto fam)

I’m moving to Portland, Oregon! I loved living in California but it’s tough to find an affordable studio apt in Sacramento and it appears to be a little bit easier for me in Oregon…

Life news alert: I’ve officially signed an offer letter so I can announce what’s next for me in 2026. I’m going to be a sportswriter again. After 8 months without a gig, I’ve signed on with the NBA as a breaking news writer for their website and their apps.

Incredible ending to an incredible baseball game

Today I learned that the lyric is not “When I was young, a beaver fell on my spirit.” spotify.link/WtbCFkh6JXb

What would happen if people on the internet started a massive crowd funding campaign to reunite The Wrens and the only people who could ever access the money were the four band members should they decide to get back together?? It’s worth considering IMO… Let’s crowdfund The Wrensaissance

It’s Friday, it’s a great day for the universe to hire a journalist.

Under the bridge downtown In Sacramento Under the bridge downtown Is where I had no dough Under the bridge downtown I tried to leave and go Under the bridge downtown Another resume???

We need a biopic of Louis Armstrong, not people who are still alive and in front of our faces

A lot of people are against the Maine governor running for Senate because she’s old … but one of her competitors has a nazi tattoo which I personally frown upon … www.cnn.com/2025/10/22/p...

30 years before the British Invasion, we sent Europe Louis Armstrong. You’re welcome. m.youtube.com/watch?v=BhVd...

Two years ago i stood right on the spot where the first atomic bomb was detonated!!!

OK Blue Jays Let’s play ball

I covered hundreds of bad baseball games in Toronto and now the Jays are three outs from going to the World Series … pretty remarkable

No Kings crowd, Sacramento

My doggo Pepper turned 8 today. She’s had a really tough year; she had a stroke in may but she fully recovered and we’ve since taken some epic trips to Banff and the redwood forest and Great Basin NP #dogsofbluesky

I went 18 months without eating sushi when I lived in New Mexico but now that I live in California I am loving exploring the crazy diversity of Asian cuisine that comes with having a huge Asian community living here

I can’t stop playing The Wrens and Archers of Loaf so the ultimate strikebreaker is coming out of the bullpen …. It’s Fiona Apple time.

I just found this summary of my trek to Machu Picchu and it’s gold even in bullet form

Cool: Johnny Cash Deeply uncool: The Wall Street Journal Glad we settled this one

I play hearts of iron 4 and I’m not particularly good at it even after 900 hours … but in this alternate history the war is still raging in 1946 and the first nuke is dropped by …. Canada??

Oh man if you’re ever in Sacramento, this is the best all you can eat sushi spot in town by a wide margin

Aaron Boone owes Buck Martinez a public apology

If a manager chooses the eve of a playoff series to refute a broadcaster who opines that his team isn’t a good team — and then his team proceeds to get its ass kicked twice in a row — the broadcaster should get the manager’s job next season

The number one rule of being a communicator is you meet the audience at a level it’s prepared to listen to. If you regularly rail against your readers for misunderstanding you, you’re either a poor communicator or you’re expecting them to meet you at a level they cannot reach.

Buck Martinez 1, Aaron Boone 0

You guys if you’ve never been to Portland it’s one of the best cities in America and I’m heavily considering moving there and anyone who tells you the city is “war-ravaged” is a cult member or on some serious recreational drugs

Brought to you by the same network that made Queen Latifah the Equalizer

You got it all wrong You can’t get it right Why don’t you just get off my back & won’t you get yourself a job somewhere away from me open.spotify.com/track/6x0oso...

Today some dope commented that I’ve never faced structural oppression … I’m a journalist in America. My entire career is running into structural oppression. The literal president calls the press the enemy of the people. And the people mostly complain about paywalls.

Me and my doggo

It’s roasted marshmallow time y’all

Jedediah smith in California !!! Incredible state park campground …

I was a sportswriter for a long time and then I took a sportswriting hiatus to do other things and soon I might be a sportswriter again?
