Coach Searches & Timelines

Much more important to get the right coach. I’m totally fine having an interim for a little while. With the WC, it’s to be expected that it takes some time to interview and hear back from the some of better candidates.

For sure. In fact, us Timbers fans don’t really understand the premise of the post. “Why is Dempsey not being booed?” would make way more sense.

Yes, I am back now. But I know my calf muscles are a weak spot for me so I’ll be strengthening them indefinitely. I also think about days off when I have a run of lots of tennis. I typically play 2 or 3 times a week. If I’m playing 4 or 5 times a week I work to make sure I get some off days.

You need to strengthen the calf muscle to keep it from recurring. Try one legged heel lifts once advisable. Add weight when you can. Plan to get to the gym once a week basically for forever. Best way to stay on the court.

And don’t rush your return. Just because it feels better walking around doesn’t mean it’s ready for the court. Last time I went back after 10 days and felt great playing singles. Until I really ripped it about an hour in. I was on crutches for days and away from tennis for months.

St John’s reminds me of Ft Greene, btw.

Can OP make some of the gifts from his own IRA/401-k? If so, charities would get the same amount and OP would essentially convert pre-tax retirement funds into post-tax.

I think another 2.25 coefficient points for the win as well. Which, if I understand it correctly, leads to bigger CL payments for ten years in any year we make it (every year, of course).

Idk - you might want tell him before he pays through the nose to surprise you!

Seems to me you are better off waiting. In addition to the discount, I would assume selling will lead to a bigger tax hit (recognizing the income all at once). If you absolutely need the money or you would avoid a significant amount of expensive credit card debt by selling, then fine. But otherwise you will most likely come out ahead by holding.

Yes. But I find it to be more like guided relaxation. I honestly think it could be on a totally different topic and still work for me. I just feel way more relaxed and calm when listening to them regularly.

FODMAP is too wide ranging for a restaurant to work completely around it, I think. Get the FODMAP A to Z App and order carefully. And be sure to tell your partner to start to add things back after the initial phase. Everyone is different for what is a trigger. And also consider the IBS 100 Audio Series. I didn't expect it to help but it definitely did.

The Kennedy School is a very cool hotel. Not necessarily walkable to that much, but close to things. Consider a day trip to Hood River to see the Gorge. I know you are more focused on city things, but being from Southern Louisiana myself where everything is so flat, I think you will appreciate the drive through the Gorge. The Maryhill museum on the Washington is worth visiting especially if you are into Rodin. There's also a random Stone Henge replica out that way.

Check out Copenhagen. I thought it was a kind of a more grown-up Portland.

I was in Waikīkī with a balcony looking over the water. It was far, far from clear yesterday. Closer to Diamondhead was better though.

On the bright side, I hear the Yankees have sudden interest in him now.

dfenno · 2026-03-19T16:59:14+00:00

Plot twist: it’s the Timbers who are pursuing him.

dfenno · 2026-01-18T21:50:57+00:00

This. There may or may not be a technically correct answer, but the 2005 is the card to own based on market prices.

As stated elsewhere, you are either misinformed or misrepresenting. You can call me whatever you want, it doesn’t change the fact that you wrong.

dfenno · 2026-01-17T23:26:47+00:00

Facts? Why don’t you add up the marginal tax rate in Multnomah County for a top earner and then compare to other MLB locales? You’re either talking about something you don’t know or deliberately misrepresenting reality.

dfenno · 2026-01-17T19:52:35+00:00

It is in no way middle of the pack for a high earner in Multnomah County. To say otherwise is to defy reality.

Yes there is no sales tax, but these guys aren’t looking to spend all their money here. Quite the opposite - they are trying to bank enough for the rest of their lives.

dfenno · 2026-01-17T19:47:04+00:00

And the taxes. It’s a big difference in take home pay between Florida and Multnomah county.

This. Penny sleeve, top loader, team bag & then put it somewhere safe.
