My cover of Rise Up by Glen Phillips (Toad the Wet Sprocket, Works Progress Administration)



My cover of Rise Up by Glen Phillips
(Toad the Wet Sprocket, Works Progress Administration)
Love the lyrics:

Rise Up

You seek an end to the questions
A ladder to the sky
A children's dream where we never die

There is a fog in the canyon
A vapor in the keep
Lulling us gently into sleep

And we will not wake ever
Unless we rise up early
Rise up early

They cast your brother as a demon
Your lover as a whore
All manner of lies justify our wars

They sell the water in the well now
The stars in the sky
There's nothing so sacred that we won't buy

And it will not change ever
Unless we rise up early
Rise up early

Rise up, rise up

There is a silence in the bedroom
A rustle in the hall
In the shadow of a love that became a wall

And it will not fall ever

Father's Day dedication to my late Grandfather...



My humble attempt to cover "The Captain & The Kid" by Jimmy Buffett :)
Dedicated to my late Grandfather, W L "Ba" Carroll, who wasn't a sailor but a salesman that drove many miles during his life, and had many great stories, but also had to deal with the eventuality of "raking Mom's backyard".

Portland Timbers home opener, April 14, 2011 - Taggable gigapan image

Portland Timbers home opener, April 14, 2011 - Taggable gigapan image

The Timbers rolled past Chicago 4-2 in their first MLS home game in front of 18,627 at sold-out Jeld-Wen Field Thursday night. The constant rain that started hours before the game did nothing to dampen the enthusiasm of the crowd, which was sent into a fever pitch with the pregame ceremonies that included fireworks, giant banners and the Timbers Army singing the national anthem.

Oregonian photographer Bruce Ely created this Gigapan during the Timbers home opener on April 14, 2011. The image is made up of 612 individual photos taken over a 45-minute span and stitched together to form one large image. The final high resolution picture is 122,832 X 39,472 pixels or 4,848 megapixels. The image is not supposed to represent one moment in the game. There are numerous stitching "errors". These are usually caused by a person that is partially in a picture moving to a different location by the time my camera made another pass.

Batum's Game Winner Stuns Spurs


Nicolas Batum's heroics on Friday night will go down in Trail Blazers' history.
Not only was it one of the greatest late-game comebacks ever, and not only was it set up by two Batum free throws with 0.9 seconds left, but it was one of the greatest plays in franchise history. And, it all happened in front of his mother, who heads back to France on Saturday....

Little Miss Magic by Jimmy Buffett


"Your mother's still the only other woman for me, little miss magic, what you gonna be?" Jimmy Buffett - Little Miss Magic

15 years ago today our little miss magic, Kayla Mack, was born. And at 3 lbs 2 oz and 16 inches long, it truly has been magical to watch her grow up. This was one of my favorite songs to sing to her. <3
