We are having a great time in Eugene. The weather is amazing. It only rained about 10 times on Monday and hasn’t rained since. We have been doing a lot of walking. Yesterday we walked downtown, nearly to my office, and had some pizza for dinner. We then went up to the downtown Eugene public [ READ MORE ]
We made it to Portland late last night. We didn’t get to do as much as we hoped here, but it has been fun. The hotel is quite nice and the city looks pretty neat. I am sure we will be back here within the next few weeks for fun and shopping (I need new [ READ MORE ]
The second day of driving went well. I did all the driving today, because it was easy. There wasn’t too much construction and most of the way we traveled on 75 MPH highways.

The movers will be here in just a few hours to take all our stuff. The computer is coming down shortly and won’t be back online until, at the earliest next Tuesday or Wednesday. I will be posting plenty of pictures to Flickr from my phone over the week, so check it out. [ READ MORE ]
We have no work tomorrow, so what do we do? Pick Libby up at the train station in Lee’s Summit at 12:00, drop her off and get back to our place by 1:00. Then, just as we are parking, meet a guy in need of some help. He has a flat and we happen to [ READ MORE ]

I got a new phone, finally. It has Bluetooth and a camera. Check out my cameraphone photostream on Flickr. [ READ MORE ]
