Vista House & Edgefield

Saturday, February 23rd, 2008

After getting back from the mountain yesterday safe and sound, getting home by 7, and being really tired and going to bed around 9:30pm (my sick still having some sway over me), Kelly and I woke up just before 8am this morning. We both sat around a bit, I cleaned my office a bit, played [...]

On the mountain

Friday, February 22nd, 2008

Today SuperSweetCo took the whole company back up to the Mount Hood (read last year’s story). I woke up at 5:15am, got cleaned up, and walked to a coworker’s place to catch a ride into town by 6:30am. Last year there was one bus, however this year there were two due to SuperSweetCo’s explosive growth. [...]

More sick, and an eclipse

Wednesday, February 20th, 2008

Still got the flu, worked from home again today. I’m really done with this crap. I can tell I’m on the mend enough that instead of simply feeling miserable, I’m getting very grumpy. Probably from being couped up for so long. This evening there was a lunar eclipse. I went out and snapped a [...]

Sick of the sick

Tuesday, February 19th, 2008

Still sick with flu. I hate this. Yesterday I came home early from work which turned out to be a really good thing, as around 4pm my fever & sweats returned. Since then, it’s been another round of aches, stuffy head, and more fever (with some scratchy, watery eyes thrown in to make my misery [...]

Sicky: update

Sunday, February 17th, 2008

Walked with Kelly to the hardware store (about a 2 mile round trip) since it was such a nice day, stopping by M & B’s on the way back. After getting home we got to trimming and pruning. Nearly all the roses are cut back, as well as a bunch of other plants. There are [...]

Sicky

Sunday, February 17th, 2008

Still feeing a bit ill, though it’s not as bad as it could be. I think I’m either fighting it off successfully, or I didn’t get the same flu that many of my coworkers had gotten. The symptoms are a dull headache, sore throat and nasal congestion (pretty light on all three), a slight cough, [...]

You see it?

Friday, February 15th, 2008

So a few weeks ago when the news of Heath Leger’s death hit the interwebs, and the news of whatever oddness between he, the maid, and Mary-Kate Olsen surfaced, ABC News.com posted a photo of Heath and MK side by side. I saw the photo and immediately thought of how creepy MK looked, and how [...]

Valentine Moon & Hot Sauce

Thursday, February 14th, 2008

I woke up this morning, went into my office, and found a bag on my desk from my lovely wife Kelly. In the bag were some Samuel Smith’s beers (stout, porter, and India pale), and the biggest bottle of Louisiana Hot Sauce I’ve ever seen (32oz). I love this hot sauce (it’s not very hot, [...]

A Good Saturday

Saturday, February 9th, 2008

Last night Kelly and I had a night in. She made turkey lasagna and garlic bread, and we watched Sunshine, which I liked quite a bit.
Kelly had class today, so I slept in a bit, waking up at around 8:30am (yup, that’s sleeping in for me now, urgh). After spending a little bit of time [...]

More Moon (and Kelly job news)

Thursday, February 7th, 2008

Tonight after work I met both my brothers at Moon & Sixpence for some dinner and beers. I got there long before either of them made it, and it was a total mess… Deschutes Brewing was having a tasting event there (which I remember reading about, but forgot completely) so I opened the door to [...]
