Hollander made it easy on us this year by picking an easy costume. Hollander and I are both HUGE fans of Bob the Builder so I was happy to oblige.

Photo by Sol


Sol's in China... again. I thought I was jealous when he took a trip on the Trans-Siberian Railroad a few years back but that was just the beginning. After trekking the globe for years, Sol has found himself at the Olympics! GO SOL!

We offered up a parking spot for him during the Olympic Trials so he wouldn't have to haul his gear across town... parking was scarce. He told me that this was his best pic of the day but if you take a look at his Blog, The Wild Weird World of Sports, you can tell he's being modest, as usual.

A recent presentation and discussion on low-income housing drew double the usual number of participants, including several students from the University of Oregon’s School of Architecture and Allied Arts. Thanks to a handful of truly enterprising nonprofit leaders, the quality of affordable housing in Eugene and Springfield is something the whole community can take pride in...

It was never going to be easy. Whatever happens in the general election, Illinois Sen. Barack Obama’s victory over New York Sen. Hillary Clinton after an epic 16-month battle for the Democratic nomination will go down as one of the great political upsets of all time.

The freedom to fail buoyed Obama and his team when national polls showed him trailing by as much as 30 points, leading many political pundits to write him off.
