The Birds in January

Molly, Josh, Linze and I did a small hike on Sunday, watched the playoff games, ate at crabfest... and went to a local pond to see some birds. Enjoy!

Making beer this weekend

Going to make Chad's radagast on Saturday and a new beer on sunday: Orange and Coriander Belgium Wit beer... Jason, look at the recipe for me and see if you have any pointers... :)

The latest about Max May

Max just started his chemotherapy today. They also have him on Oxycontin, for any pain he may have. Molly just got off the phone with him a few minutes ago, and he is in high spirits and feeling as onery as ever. I've heard that you don't start feeling really bad until 4-5 days afterward... but for now he is doing quite well.

Mutanomah Falls

Check out these great pictures/video that Molly took while hiking in the gorge this last weekend. Really beautiful!

Back in Portland

So I'm supposed to be working today, but my Vista machine is not happy... not at all. Not really sure what is going on here, but it updated sometime when I was in KC and never really came back. I was able to work yesterday, but then it updated itself again last night, and never finished "Shutting down..." When I bounced it this morning it took about an hour to "Configuring updates..." when I finally logged in the whole machine ran like hammered shit. So I restarted, and now, once again, "Shutting down..." for like 2 hours. I keep reading that I should let it do what it needs to do, but WTF? If that little swirling circle stops moving before it restarts, I'm going to reinstall the OS and hope for the best.



Here is me anxiously waiting. Thank god I have the "flaptop".
