The Last Trip to Tulsa

I have decided to load music here that I like. I once heard a live recording of this song that I like better; in it, the words sound more annunciated and it is a tiny bit slower. This was what I found on youtube though, so enjoy...or don't, your choice.

 

Dick Proenneke is the Man!

I always miss this every time they play it on PBS. It usually runs at like 2:00am so I guess that is why having a DVR would be sweet. www.dickproenneke.com has the DVD's for sale but they kind of want an arm and a leg. We have a coupon for one free rental from Video Liar, maybe they have Alone in the Wilderness on laser disc or something weird like that. I just love the matter-of-fact narration from this guy. Also, I think that I secretly want to move to Alaska and build a cabin from scratch. Well, at least move to the woods or something for a while. Jon Krakauer wrote a pretty good few pages about the allure of  the Alaskan wilderness in Into the Wild if I remember correctly. Anyhoo, if you like this kind of crap and ever get a chance to watch the above documentary in full, I would recommend it.

I guess that when one only posts pictures about once a year, they tend to post a bunch at a time. BooYeah!

I suited up and went for a rain walk a few weeks ago when everything was flooding. It was nostalgic in some weird way. Maybe I walked in the rain a lot when I was a kid.  Luckily, I did not fall into any rivers or creeks. Willamette Boat Club (or something) dock to the right there. Maybe they call themselves a yacht club, there are some pretty nifty boats in those docks.

Generations

Scary-ass Hotel!

The night we stayed at this place, fireworks started going off in the middle of the night. I was certain that it was guns and bombs and we were done for. Needless to say, I did not sleep well for the rest of the night.

Worst blog maker ever.

I think my camera has been on the shelf since December. We'll be moving to Portland in June. Taking pictures is always more fun when experiencing new things. Maybe there are a few pictures on the camera now....nope. I am moving across town in about a week, maybe I'll put up some pictures of the new place/ the roomies. Until then, this:

This was in San Somewhere or Los Something (down by San Fransisco). That dude sitting between the two kids is not impressed. Does that other kid's shirt have a dirty word on it?  *ucks?

Ask and you shall receive!!

A mid-court meeting at the holy board tournament. This was probably the highlight of the weekend for me. Go team half man, half half-assed man!! I had a bad case of Can't Make Shit during most of the tourney but luckily Brosef has mad athletic skills. Second place wasn't all bad, we still got paid!

Sand castle contest. We were the only "adult" contestants. We were really just there for the s'mores afterwards. Oh yeah, it wasn't really a contest, it was more of a gathering with the promise of s'mores.  

Labor Day

April practicing her modeling skillz!!

Uncle Al the kiddies pal...or is it kitties pal? He seems to be more of a dog person, I'm gonna go with kiddies.   

The brothers enjoying a game of poker. I also noticed that Uncle Al is not entertaining a cat or a child in this one.
