Considering...

To consider persons and events and situations only in the light of their effect upon myself is to live on the doorstep of hell.


I am waiting on something big. I am waiting and anticipating. I am nervous and losing sleep. I am wishing that I had more faith.

I am in the midst of a 4 day weekend. I had Monday off for labor day. Tuesdays are my regular day off. I worked from home some. But really, I just relaxed.

We had some friends over for dinner on Sunday night. We had deep fried tofu with barbecue sauce and cheese, creamed lima beans with thyme, slow cooked beets in a sour cream and horse radish sauce, zucchini au gratin and corn bread muffins.

We hung out, had a few beers, talked and watched Hot Fuzz. It was a good night.

We also went out over the weekend and got some plants for our house. Our new place has a back 'patio' area. Our living room has two very large sliding glass doors that opens up to an area large enough to house some patio furniture and not much more. The area has a tree and is surrounded by a fence. We put several different plants and pots out there and cleaned the area up pretty good. We also got a few plants for our home. Total cost: $78.

I went for a run. We went for a 6 mile hike in forest park. We cleaned out our old apartment. We got pizza and burritos.

We have been pretty busy with the move. We wrapped that up pretty good this weekend. We left the old place looking immaculate. The new place is completely done. I have been working at my second job more lately. I had not been working there as much over the past month. The extra hours are very welcome indeed.

There are some things of greater import that I mean to write about. But the time is never right or I am too busy. It pains me to post something on here that I find superfluous or a waste of time. I do not wish to waste anyone's time.

I am really digging Pandora right now. I am particularly attached to the Jerry Garcia, Jorma, Elvis and Coltrane stations. In that order. For the most part.


I am waiting on something. I hope to know more soon.

I will keep you posted.

You took the words right out of my mouth! I get so tired of the Repugs and their lies about the "Liberal media" I could just wretch.

Reading your blogs make me miss the people of the West Coast, and Portland sounds so cool!

Here's some juicy gossip for ya:
