sometimes the fun comes to an abrupt end. twice.

Sunday, July 30th, 2006

Some of you may remember an incident that happened to me just before my 26th birthday. I was playing soccer and in a split second (that seemed to last for eternity) my life (and specifically my knee) would completely change.
The result, four years later, was a left knee with 85-90% range of motion and a [...]





puddle jumpers and a true summer vacation…

Wednesday, July 26th, 2006

Home for a one nighter in Seattle for a round of laundry and a couple of errands.
I spent the last few nights in Portland, Or. hanging out with the Lizardos and making some variation of a Mexican meal. It was their oldest daughter Kiana’s 3rd birthday, and they had a local Mexican establishment cater her [...]

Bend, Or.
A city of life, creativity, recreation and fun fun times…..
My last few days spent in Bend, Or. was a riot. The weather was perfect, the people were their usual extremely relaxed and warm personalitied selves and the ideas and relaxed contentedness flowed like an endless spring…..
Over the last year, I’ve been fortunate to visit Bend every few [...]

Tuesday, July 18th, 2006

It’s Tuesday night and I’m spending a quiet evening relaxing at the new Lake Taps Villa (Yes Maia and Craig finally closed on their house and are moving in). And since I took not a single photo over the birthday run, I had to wait with baited breath until I could see the snapshots from [...]

For 30 years I’ve been the favorite Liloc kid!

If anyone would like to join the birthday celebration this evening, we’ll be at the George and Dragon tonight at about 10.
Happy (birthday) Travels (to me!)……





Thoughts on the next 30…

Wednesday, July 12th, 2006

This is it. No holds barred, all joking aside,  here are a few of the things that I am impressing in my mind in terms of looking ahead.

2 days to lucky 13….

Tuesday, July 11th, 2006

At 9:30pm PST (on Tuesday the 11th) I’ll be officially free of any sort of work related responsibility for 22 days.

As far as plans for the 22 day run, I don’t have anything specific [...]





My inability to keep my lips sealed…

Friday, July 7th, 2006

I’ve been dry as far as blogging subject-matter lately. But today the light bulb finally went off and here I am eagerly typing the next post. I love having something to tell.
Anyway, it’s a known fact that I am a storyteller. There is no doubt about it. But along with the privilege of being a [...]
