Thank You!

At long last, and finally, I've completed the last of my trips to Marin County to empty out our former house. Yesterday my daughter and I finished cleaning out the garage, and today the new owners moved in. I'm now safely back at home in Oregon. I should now have more time to keep up the blog.

Thank you all for your birthday wishes. It's my last birthday as someone less than a half-century old. How can that be? Now about those bicep pics...

What, it's not enough I let you see the size of my icicles? What about that male mystique? I can't give away all my secrets, can I?

Okay, you're right. I should show the results of my labors. Now, lest you get the wrong idea, I'm not buffed up like Governor Arnold. Normally, it's difficult to distinguish my forearm from my upper arm, so with respect to my former, geeky condition my biceps are much larger now, but they still aren't something to make the female heart go a-flutter. Nonetheless, I aim to please, and will try to post a pic shortly.

We now have our Oregon license plates, we've gotten Oregon bank accounts, and we can now spend our weekends here and not in Marin. Once we have Oregon drivers licenses and finished unpacking boxes, we'll be fully Oregonian, but even so we're now ready to start our local explorations, and hope to post about them. Next weekend there's a Winterfest in Bend, so we may head that way to check it out. (No, we don't live in Bend, but it's not very far away.)

Don't give in!

I can see it now. Your naked biceps posted on the net for all to see. Horrors!

What will be next? Your navel? Once you start down this path there's no turning back.

No, no! Maintain the mystery!

Candace! We want to see Dave's biceps. Don't scare him. I'm sure that Dave will be able to stop at his arm and not strip naked for us. Mystery schmystery. We want to see some arm. :)

my brother goes to college there in Bend (Mt Hood Community College)... no, he doesn't live in Bend, but it's not very far away! hehe.

I have never done winterfest, as I am on the west side of the mountain and i really dont like driving over the passes in the snow, but i did the Fourth of July festival in LaPine last year and it was pretty fun for a small town. You'll have to check it out.

I also recommend exploring the lava tubes, fishing in clear lake, swimming in suttle lake, and a stroll through the shops in sisters. There is so much to do in central oregon, Shahalia Falls is a beautiful sight (its on the Mckensie river side) The metolious is awesome... a full sized river coming right up out of the ground. SO much to see! i envy you seeing so much of it for the first time.

Show some arm, eh? Okay! Unleash those armpits, Dave! That'll do it!
