We have survived our Columbia River Gorge Harley-Davidson motorcycle excursion. I feel as if I have been strung up between two wild horses pulling in opposite directions… The Harley Road King is a BIG bike – much bigger than I’m used to, so lifting, leaning, and every other maneuvering technique takes just that much more [...]

I have a new phone. It’s a Nokia 6200. It’s quite cool – color screen, Tri-band GSM, EDGE/GPRS data service. Of course, I can’t quite figure out how to connect my laptop over that “high-speed” connection. [I say: "high-speed" because it's only relative.

I have decided that one of the best trade-offs of my job is the fact that I get to leave Hot Humid Houston behind for a while and experience summer as those in the Northern climes do. It was a whopping 80 degrees here yesterday – sweltering hot for Portland. Of course, I’m just trying to [...]
