Over 40 – August, 2008

Two backpacking trips this month: One to the great Trinity Alps, one to the mediochre mosquito infested area around Diamond peak. (I gotta say I really miss the backpacking in my home state.) I made up some new business cards from Moo and Karen’s tomatoes have been going ka-razy! Check that pesto too! And peaches from the candy tree! Ya-hoooo!

…and a co-worker quit who shouldn’t have had too. Goddamned shame if you ask me.

Holly crap we went on an Alaskan cruise! Crazy, I know but there ya go. Another trip to Eureka was accomplished as well. Backpacked the Rogue River trail which I would like to refer to as the Poison Oak trail. That shit is the worst.

Portland, mo-fo’s!! Did some house duty as well. I tried to do a push up but it didn’t go so well. Watched “Fight Club” for about the tenth time. I miss something every time so it seems. I also stood in a field and sat where I was specifically told not to.

Painted the bedroom, went to Seattle (where we saw an AWESOME play in the park), exercised my right as a free American citizen and voted and also watched the destruction of the old Co-Op grain elevator. Sapo was involved as well.

Petting real dogs and fake cats this month. A little bit of beach time and much tree climbing. And another broken fucking hard drive!!!!! (Lost my damned honeymoon photos.)

Went to Bend where I ate a monster breakfast, went to Eureka and drank cocktails in a good friends backyard, and I found out that 50% of Simple Magazine is made up of ads. I did this by taking actual measurements from one issue. And puppies!

I turned 40 on December 25th, 2007. Since then I am making sure I am in one photo a day.

Month three. I work, I play, I snowshoe, and I pick up dog shit. And I get my photo taken by Jeffrey Lewis who we bought back to our house with his band after a show in Eugene. What a bunch of nice folks. Even washed their coffee cups out. I don’t even do that.

Month numero two in which I get really sick, eat a monster burrito and snow overtakes our little southern Oregon town. As a bonus, see if you can find the day when I find that a 1 terabyte photo archive fails at work and is unrecoverable. That day was awful. Yay!

This month I was in Colorado for my birthday. On my birthday I went and shredded some pow-pow up in Nederland and drank a bunch of vodka and was on hand as my brother-in-law and sister-in-law told their oldest child the truth about Santa Claus. Then it was back to Oregon and then straight down to Mendocino for a great New Years retreat. I almost won at poker. But didn’t.
