BizanBandit Is Popular World-wide

I recently implemented a gadget that shows me how visitors are finding my blog; most are from people I know and expect, but every week or so someone reads my blog after searching Google. In other words, if you search Google by any of these key word groupings below, my blog scores high on the list, and these persons actually took the time to visit the Bizan Bandit. So here is the list: (I'll keep this updated as I find new entries)

#1: "HT Biking"
Hmm, no comment. The visitor was someone in Austria.

#2: "children hurt playing football"
Sandwiched between two popular medical web sites--I've got more credentials than Doogie Howser.

#1: "how easy is it to get hurt in football"
Better than Wikipedia, more relevant than the NFL.

#2: "People Playing Football"
I'm slowly becoming the expert on all things football . . .

#1: "how people get hurt from football"
This is funny because people will learn how NOT to get hurt playing football by reading this particular entry on the blog.

#6: "potpourri mix"
Hmm, maybe I should set up an online potpourri shop, since I already have a high google rank . . .

#1 "how often do kids get hurt when plahing football"
I've got to give Aaron the credit for this one (it's his quote that made me number one). I love the typo--makes me proud I'm the number one choice for poor spellers and typists.

#1 "traffic down to autzen stadium on saturday"
I'm the master of all things duck--except that I never was one.

#4: "vote by crossing party line blog"
My politically-fired entries have always been one of my specialties.

#18: "autzen stadium loud"
The two games I have attended to date have surely made me an expert in the field.

#6: "and my father dwelt in a tent"
It's only fair: I've read the Book of Mormon a million times. . .

Partied Like It's 1999

Image
1999 symbolizes my "freedom" time: I was a college graduate, gainfully-employed, virtually debt-free, and single/childless. I pretty much did what I wanted and didn't have to report to anyone or commit to any thing. This past week felt like I had stepped backwards in time, as Meg decided, on a whim, to drive to Salt Lake City--with kids in tow--and stay with my parents for a week. Since I wasn't part of the road trip, you'll have to encourage her to share any stories , although she has confessed to me that she's done with blogging. Here are the highlights of the back-in-time party that was this week: Exercise : Besides my daily 11-mile round trip commute by bike to the office, I went on three other bike rides around Clackanomah County, swam at the pool twice, and ran once. Cleaning : Organized some of our outdoor living space, cleaned the house from top-to-bottom, washed the G20, cleaned my bike, and manicured the outside landscape. Sleep : Every night wa...

Hiking the Timberline Trail

Image
I don't think I've been on a true backpacking trip before. Back in high school, my friend Bart and I planned a multi-day trip to Carl Lake, but we ended up turning around after one night of camping at Cabot Lake because it was raining so much and we'd rather stay at his family's cabin instead. I also hiked up to Moraine Lake as a scout leader, on the way to South Sister, where we camped in preparation to summit Oregon's third tallest peak, but we left all of our gear at the lake on the second leg of our climb. That was back in 2001. I first learned of the Timberline Trail by reading a brief summary of it in, of all places, Portland Monthly. Sure, it was 35 miles farther than I had ever backpacked before, and it involved two more days and nights, and I would be going solo. But the summer of 2016 is all about change and new beginnings for me. Day 1: Timberline Lodge to Ramona Falls I slept in Tuesday morning, as I was up late Monday night making my final preparat...

A Wild Black Sheep Chase

Image
It all started with a tweet. The tweet guided me to a blog. The blog inspired me to craft an e-mail. The e-mail led to a phone call. And the phone call led to my agreeing to trade my 1993.5 Infiniti G20 for a 2010 Black Sheep commuter bike (1 of only 13 in existence). All of this happened within 24 hours. From New Bike An informal part of our agreement to move to Portland was for me to get rid of my car, since I had committed to biking or riding the bus to work--and I never did drive the G20 once we moved to Portland, except once every other week or so to keep the fluids moving through the car. I had posted my car for sale at the G20 enthusiasts' site , but I didn't get any substantial bites, nor did I do much to promote its sale (Meg would like me to remind you that I took a year to sell my del Sol after buying the Maxima ). So when I saw a blog post about New Belgium's car swap at the Tour de Fat , I called Meg and proposed the idea to her. She thought it sounde...
