Where credit is due

November 16, 2016 by Dave Knadler

Let the record show that last month, well before anyone seriously thought a certain sinister buffoon could win the White House, American wages were at an all-time high and still growing. Also, median household income is projected to show an all-time high in the next census report. In other news, unemployment is now under 5 percent — a bit lower than Mitt Romney predicted it would be […]

Not-so-great expectations

November 12, 2016 by Dave Knadler

El Presidente electo Trump showed a rare moment of politesse the other day, expressing respect both for President Obama and for his election opponent. It shows how low the bar is that common courtesy can elicit a glimmer of hope: Could this small man grow to fit the office? Does it still seem so likely that the big office will shrink to fit the man? We’ll see. […]

Street-fighting man

October 31, 2016 by Dave Knadler

If Donald Trump and Joe Biden really did duke it out behind the gym, who would win? Here’s Trump’s take: “Did you see where Biden wants to take me to the back of the barn? Me! I’d love that. Mr. Tough Guy. You know when he’s Mr. Tough Guy? When he’s standing behind a microphone by himself. He wants to bring me to the back of the […]

My place in the cloud

June 19, 2015 by Dave Knadler

Now I am immortal. For the next year or so, anyway. In March of this year I was on my daily walk when I noticed the Google Street View car rolling by right in front of me. A quicker man might have flipped two birds or reversed course and dropped his pants for a moon shot. But I’m more mature these days and anyway my reflexes aren’t […]

The glossophobe judge

January 25, 2015 by Dave Knadler

Yesterday I served as a judge for an oratorical contest put on by the American Legion. I’m not sure why I agreed to do it. Normally, I scrupulously avoid any activity that might involve meeting new people. I am one of those introverted types who can pass as personable for a few minutes at a time, but eventually the people I’m next to wander away and I […]

Morning on the water

January 1, 2015 by Dave Knadler

kayaking thomas creek florida

Today we took the kayaks out to Thomas Creek, which is as a good a way as any to start out a new year. Our friends Ryan and Jackie joined us for an easy paddle on glassy water, a four-mile round-trip under cloudy skies. Temperature was a little under 60 — a pleasant coolness I don’t experience often enough in this part of the country. We met […]

The walkin’ man

November 13, 2014 by Dave Knadler

According to my Fitbit dashboard, I’ve walked a little over 2,800 miles since acquiring the device in May 2013. That’s pretty close to 6 million steps. If I’d set out on foot to visit my daughter in Seattle, right about now I’d be striding along somewhere past Ellensburg, Wash. (And dreading Snoqualmie Pass, no doubt.) I don’t know how many miles I might have walked without this […]
