Former Trail Blazer Channing Frye Tells Us How He’s Spending His Quarantine
Stars—they're just like us. Especially right now, insofar as they are also confined to their homes, waiting for this whole coronavirus thing to sort itself out. In this new feature, we check in with prominent Portlanders to ask: How are you holding up?
Occupation: Former Portland Trail Blazer, host of Talkin' Blazers podcast
Number of kids at home: 4
What have you been eating? One thing we love about Portland is its restaurant scene. Lord have mercy, there is so much good food here it's unreal! But with the social distancing, we decided it would be a great time to start a keto diet, so my wife and I have been cooking every one of our meals. She cooks, I grill. Our kids are great eaters, but ask weekly, "Can we go to a restaurant tonight?"
What have you been watching, listening to or playing? We are huge TV watchers. We finished Yellowstone and Hunters and we're now watching the third season of Westworld. I personally listen to every genre of music—this week is jazz, last week was nu-disco, week before was reggae. But I always mix in house music and classical.
Have you picked up a new hobby or resumed an old one? The only new hobby I have is taking care of this puppy we got. He is an awesome dog, but with four kids, another responsibility is always rough.
What's the weirdest thing you've done so far? I'm 7 feet tall and love going to the gym and working out. Walking long distances isn't my type of gig, but being in the house isn't either, so I took the lesser of evils.
What do you miss most about the outside world? For me, it's not about what I miss, it's about why I'm staying home. I love this city and its people, and I have a responsibility to do what I can to make sure everyone has a fighting chance to be healthy.
What's your secret to staying sane? Definitely making a schedule. Also slowing down. There isn't that rush anymore because of work, so slow down and just enjoy every minute.
What's the first thing you're doing when this is all over? Popping a huge bottle of Champagne and going to my favorite restaurants one by one.
