I paused when I read the playwright Matthew Lopez refer to himself in The New York Times as a "foxhole Episcopalian."Not that the expression was hard to parse but I hope he didn't say it apologetically, as in "I don't ever darken the door of a church unless something's going terribly wrong." If that's so, what's so wrong with that? Foxhole faith can be mighty powerful and foxhole prayers are some of the richest kind we make.More...

For anyone who happens to be a restaurant owner, current/former waiter or consumer of the culinary arts, the art of tipping is almost as important as the art of preparing the delectable deliciousness of a proper meal. When I dine out -- which is often since my own culinary skills leave no smoke alarm unturned -- I marinate in the scent of the Syrah or Malbec, savor the cuisine and bask in the company of great friends. Our servers are our tour guides for an evening likely to go down in the memory books for when I am old. They are the key to the success or failure of a restaurant, and we tip them accordingly.Recently, Portland was rated as the "Foodiest City" by Bon Apetit. Most of those restaurants are centered in the downtown section of the city, which happens to be largely within my house district. I represent some of the finest restaurants, chefs and servers of this great country, and the model has worked thus far.More...
