Back from Oregon
This year’s All of the Above Boogie at Skydive Oregon was not blessed with the perfect weather that previous incarnations had; it wasn’t quite as bad as Leap for Lupus, but we still had a number of weather holds throughout the weekend. Still it was fun to be up there and catch up with the … Continue reading

Came home from our weekend in Shelton/Seattle last night, after midnight, tired, cranky, and just ready to go to bed. It took a bit longer than usual, but Franklin came trotting out to greet me in the foyer, and I expected Daisy to be not far behind. She wasn’t.
