Ok, last post before I hand the keys of MDOHM over to Kevin Allman, the real writer-type who's on deck. He'll be taking us home tomorrow before Matt's triumphant return from his holiday. Assuming, that is, he's not the victim of some horrible golf accident. In that case, bitch better have put my cigar in the mail before he headed out of town. Anyway. I originally planned on trying something new...

Drove to Seattle this weekend to deliver darling daughter to the University of Washington for early fall start. There was some question as to whether all of her stuff would fit inside the mom-mobile, or if I would have to mount the Yakima Rocket Box to the roof. In the end, it all fit inside, though there was no room for dearest brother. That suited him just fine, he had no interest in...

Another day, another great moment from the UW rivalry. 1997 wasn't going as planned. After a 3-0 start, Oregon found itself at 4-4, teetering on the edge of a winning season. Oregon needed a victory over the No. 4 ranked Huskies in Seattle. With time running down, Oregon was down by 4, 28-24, and drove into Husky territory. But Patrick Johnson and Akili Smith made a play that would define the...

This week we're gonna be running down some of our best memories of the Oregon-Washington rivarly in the lead-up to game day. Today we look back to 1995. Oregon had not won in Seattle in 15 years. But after the previous years victory, and with a 6-2 record, things were looking good. And then, on the opening kickoff, Patrick Johnson made his first mark on Seattle, breaking a return outside after he...

Eugene Cho, pastor of Quest Church in Seattle, blogs about the Spanish Basketball team's picture in where they slant their eyes as an "affectionate gesture" toward their Chinese hosts: I’m in no position to judge any of the individuals or players involved as racists. I like to give people the benefit of the doubt and I certainly do in this situation; Truthfully, I also really like Pau Gasol...

1718. (via UtterlyBoring.com) Google StreetView is blanketing Oregon, slowly covering our fair state in its loving, slightly-BigBrotherly goodness. Not only can you viturally tool around most streets in the Portland urban area, but you can also tour Ontario, that dry, dusty, but sweet and friendly town on the Oregon-Idaho border. We also note that StreetView takes in a goodly chunk of southwest...

Thanks to my sis for forwarding this link from NYT columnist Mark Bittman's blog (always an entertaining and appetite inspiring read) that somehow I missed. I get up there a couple of times a year, and it's always good to have the insight. In case you have any Seattle travel plans, knowledge is not only power, it is a full and happy tummy! photo from New York...

During visit with Erika in Seattle we decided to do some "tourist" things. Checked out the Farmers Market and took a ferry ride across Puget Sound. Use standard family password if prompted. Length is about 7 minutes... Hanging out in Seattle with Aunka - June 2008 from Joe Rykowski on Vimeo....
