Hey all. I am here back in Oregon for the first time in 10 or so months. After spending a great day with my dear friends Jenny and Tawny, I scooted down to the beach in the middle of a blustery, dreary storm. And the storm has yet to let up. This morning, for instance, the power cut out for about 3 hours. Meanwhile, it’s 80 degrees in Miami. I guess you can’t have everything. But, it is really good to be home. I’m looking forward to spending some good R&R time down here followed by some skiing followed by drinking at the New Old Lompoc come Saturday. It’ll be so good to see all of my friends again. So, hurray for being home. With that, I have to get back to the family crossword puzzle that’s goin on.
