I'm back. I lived through the experience, and I have many tales to tell. Perhaps I will spice my entries for a while with anecdotes of the mysterious far-away land of the Maple Leaf. Or maybe you'll have to talk to me yourself and wheedle the stories out of my unwilling mouth. I will soon…

Yes, I get to leave the United States for a while. Leaving today, my family is driving up into Canada and partaking in the wonders that the glorious Rockies have to offer. Expect lots of pictures upon my return, for my camera has been restored to me. Hopefully I can steal the nice film camera…

I go out to the mailbox today to mail a letter to Becky, and I look inside the mailbox, and there are already things in it. Oh, blast, I think, assuming that the mail has already come today. I bring the mail in, and set it down, bringing the letter back to my room to…

So, I had a really fun time this weekend. Two of my friends from high school that don't get back here very often came to visit, and I spent nearly all my time with some combination of them and other folks, or with my family. Crazy activities include: Walking to the Beaverton Mall to get…

Wow, the so-called \”Freedom Tower\” got a scathing review in the New York Times. What worries me is that it might be right.

Text cannot express my frustration right now. So I'm not going to try to \”blast\” and \”argh\” my way into showing you how annoyed I am. Photoshop decided to die on me. This wouldn't be quite as much of a problem, had I remembered to save my work at least ONCE in the past few…

In that order. I came by a good amount of money through the garage sale, babysitting, washing windows, and trading books in to Powell\’s. So, naturally, the first thing I did upon recieving the money (and, in the case of Powell\’s, store credit, which is all well and good since I spend much more than…

There's something about the time between afternoon and night that enraptures the imagination. The sun hangs low on the horizon and the stars are fast approaching, making this a time of neither's dominion, but rather a strange mixture of the two.
