Monday loaf on the Portland branch counter means I was in over the weekend. Today there are two loaves. Draw your own conclusions about the quarter-end.

Four days on the lower Deschutes booked for the 19th. Steelhead count from the last nine trips: two. The river does not care about my win rate and that is why I go.

Timbers 2, Seattle 1. Section 107 was loud enough that Lucía texted from home to ask if I was okay. I was better than okay.

A customer asked me today whether a bank CEO should still know how to balance a cash drawer. I balanced one in front of her. $0.00 over. Thirty-five years of practice.

The starter is thirty-seven years old this month. It descends from my father's bakery on Hawthorne. It has survived two moves, one divorce (not mine) and the 2022 core-system migration, during which Marcus was not allowed near it.

Eleven days of PPP in 2020 taught me one thing I keep relearning: when people are scared, call them. Don't email. Call.

First-Monday opening at Portland. A kid asked me if I was the security guard. In a sense, yes.

Our board declined to sell the bank in 2021. Five years on, every loan officer in this building still has a name and a phone number on the website. That was the point.
