Salmon Fishing with Russell
Russell invited Bruce and I to fish in the Columbia River for salmon. We were joined by his friend Harry for an educational morning. Bruce and I learned from working with them to catch Bruce’s first salmon.

Portland Bridge Pedal 2024
As of last year, I had done all of the routes for Bridge Pedal. What’s left to do? How about another go-around?

Portland Winter Light Festival 2024
I’m grateful for my city who puts on a light festival in the darkest of winter. It lights up my creativity and I love seeing the art people crafted with light.
I visited the World Trade Center hub for an hour downtown and was greeted with colorful sea creatures, pulsing interactive displays, and a cheerfully illuminated crowd to celebrate with.
Illuminated Bike Ride
Ever since the first Portland Winter Light Festival that I learned they had an illuminated bike ride, it was on my list to do.
After years of poor weather or scheduling conflicts, I finally joined fellow wheeled enthusiasts who decorated their wheels with vivid creativity.
My bike was already strapped with multiple lights to help with winter visibility for my commute, but I added a RGB photography LED to my handlebar and strapped a bubble machine to the rear rack.

Hopscotch in Living Color
The blinding and colorful lights. The bass-bumping music visualizers. The trampoline that blossomed color through movement. The rainbow ball pit.

Hopscotch, an immersive art experience, overloaded our eyes with color and lights and the interactivity inspired the giddy child inside to play.
Here were our favorite exhibits that gave us a rainbow connection.
Hoffman Farms
We visited Hoffman Farm’s pumpkin patch with our neighbors to pick up Halloween decor and the boys got through the corn maze in under an hour!
