Okay, we're in the middle of the holiday hustle and bustle. So much to do, and so little time to do it.
So, I've recently decided to make a change - and I thought I'd pass it along. It's one little word, but the mere mention alone, will make you feel better. SIMPLIFY. Go ahead, say it out loud - and you'll see what I mean.
This epiphany came to me recently, as I was cleaning out my fish tank. I enjoyed it a great deal, ...

We've all seen that sign. And based on what we found today, you can see why someone would post it.
A Northeast Portland man was in his home Saturday night, when he heard a loud noise. He looked out his window, and saw a dump truck -- with its lights out -- dropping a load of 'fill' on a dirt road next to his home. I've never really thought about it until today -- but can someone just dump a truckload of dirt in a neighborhood - an...

So much for that.
After all the debate over renaming a city street in honor of Cesar Chavez -- it appears the fight is over. At least for now. The Latino community got together with the Chinese community, and at a news conference today -- said they do NOT want the city to rename 4th Ave. So, the whole idea is now OFF the table.
Our city beat reporter, Randy Neves, says council members admit -- the last minute detour to 4th...

How in the world did we get to this point? The idea of renaming a city street - in honor of Cesar Chavez - has gone horribly, and embarrassingly wrong.
Interstate Avenue is apparently off the table. That debate lead the mayor to walk out of one meeting. Suddenly, it's now - 4th Avenue. That decision left the hispanic community in tears at City Hall.
So, 4th Avenue -- which runs right through Chinatown -- would be renamed...

Have you seen the Blazers lately? Wow. They've won their last 4 games -- all at home against VERY good teams -- and are on a nice roll. You'll get a chance to see them tonight on KGW. They're in Denver, playing against the Nuggets. After last night's victory against Detroit, someone in the newsroom said, "Imagine if they had Oden." That gave me pause, because I hadn't really thought about that in a while. Maybe it's because -- as painfu...

This weekend marks Veterans Day, and it's a day that has come to be very special to me. Over the years, I have done a number of stories to honor those who have served the country, and this year brings a bit of a new twist.
Although I make my living 'in front' of the camera, I've been spending a lot more time on the 'other' side of the lens lately. 'Still' photography has become a passion of mine, and I decided to try something diffe...

There is some positive news - in the search for a University of Oregon professor. He went for a day hike on Sunday, and never returned. Today, search crews found footprints in the Cougar Reservoir area, and another hiker said he saw the man on Sunday. The weather has been cooperating, and there are no steep cliffs around that trail - so, everyone is hoping for the best. We'll update the search at 5.
This is also the first day that...

Where did this week go? Time flies when you're having fun, I guess.. and Portland had a lot of fun this week. Disney on Ice started its weekend run last night at the Rose Garden. Halloween was Wednesday. We had the big Hannah Montana concert Tuesday, and the Blazers kicked off the '07-'08 season in San Antonio. I'm guessing there were a lot of late assignments at school this week!
Tonight at 5, we'll update a story that broke ...
