The Bus
Looking out my window at the moment, I can see a number 77 TriMet bus stopped in the middle off the intersection of 19th and Northrup. Cars are making their way around it, but it's blocking the tracks of the portland streetcar. The streetcar came up behind it and waited for a while before [...]
Be Patient, Peter
Back in December of last year, Erin, Leah, and I collaborated on a children's book for our ethics class.

Wednesday night, Diana and I went to see The Lion King touring show at the Keller Auditorium. Upon entering the lobby, there was no doubt whatsoever that this was a big production put on by a company that truly understands the power of a captive audience. The lobby was dotted with merchandise booths in [...]
