The holidays are almost over…
I didn’t post while I was in Bend; the almost dying part of the trip kind of shook me up. I didn’t eat terribly bad, especially since the condo had a kitchen. So I generally ate well 2 meals of the day, and not so great for 1 meal. The best part was the break [...][...]

Kristin’s Favorite Things
Oprah gets to have a favorite things list, so I don’t see why I can’t. Although I don’t get any money or free stuff for endorsing things, so that kind of sucks, but then I don’t influence millions of 40-year-old women to buy things. At any rate, my favorite things of 2007: CL[...]

Me vs Capitol Highway
Since my car’s somewhere other then in my possession, I’m back to bike commuting every day. It’s a generally fast ride; up for a ways on Beaverton-Hillsdale, then straight down Capitol Hwy, Barbur, Hamilton, to John’s Landing. Takes about 15 minutes, which is the same it take[...]

Merry Christmas!
Well, despite being minus a car, I’m in good spirits. Bend was quite relaxing, even though the plans changed a bit. We got there pretty late on Friday, so we just made dinner at our condo. We were renting one at the Mount Bachelor Village, which was awesome. It was 2 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, a bed[...]
