Portland III, IV & V
And without further ado… After learning about the Hood To Coast (the world’s largest running relay race of 197 miles from Mt. Hood to Seaside, OR) from a fellow passenger on my flight to Portland, we couldn’t resist heading to the coast to see the runners come in. The drive was beautiful and reminded me...

Portland: I & II
I’m too tired to be original with the title. Sorry to all of you who read my blog for the witty titles (I really do try most of the time). I’m just a wee bit tired. You see, people in Portland walk a lot. Or at least we have been. Arrived yesterday afternoon after getting...

Joe is my hair stylist.The mistress: Cassandra, from Technicolour Salon in Redlands, CA(Photo borrowed from Denise) And I’ve now learned first hand that there is an ugly side to being unfaithful. Things don’t always go...

Care to join me? If anyone finds this lamp (or similar) someplace for less than $100, would you let me know? I want 2 of these for my bedroom. But with different shades.Something like this. ——->
And I don’t mean ‘A bientot’
I awoke this morning and realized that today is the last day of a few important things: The last day of my Statistics class (4 days a week for 3+ hours a day for 6 weeks). The last day of my crazy summer intensives schedule (5 classes in approx 10 weeks). The last day of...
