  • Marathon Day

    I hadn't been running since my ill-fated run two weeks ago. After a very mild night, I woke up early and felt like going for a run. I soon realized that the Eugene marathon would be starting in a matter of minutes. By…

  • I'm watching a news show about transgendered kids. It makes me realize just how easy my life has been as a guy who has never wanted to be anything or anyone else. I never did hear back from the contractor who came by t…

  • Downsizing

    I had a great day off today. I missed the UPS driver three days in a row, so I had to go down to UPS yesterday and pick up my packages--more sleeving supplies. I finished up a batch of photo sleeving last night and f…

  • The Weekend That Was

    I had a great time at the postcard show yesterday and a good day today. I headed up to the show around 8:30 and was headed back south by 3:00 or so. I did stop by a few antique stores on the way home, but didn't buy an…

  • Blinded

    I spent my first glorious night alone at home in well over a week tonight! My first night upon returning from Tillamook was spent unpacking and playing volleyball, my second night was spent playing volleyball and host…

  • Dinos

    Here are my long lost dinosaur models: They are in worse shape than I remember and I'm not sure how complete they are since all the pieces are mixed together. And the mice have been chewing on the boxes and making nests…

  • What Once Was Lost...

    I'm back from a most enjoyable long weekend trip to Tillamook. I worked hard and had a productive trip. Brownie points to anyone who can guess what long lost items I found while cleaning out my mom's garage. I have …
