Tin House and Now It's Saturday

The Tin House 10th was lots of fun and you can find podcasts at Literary Arts.

Next weekend we are going to Kahneeta!

Mandy gos to the vet today.

It's summer and I never seem to have time to water my plants.

Sawyer is sleeping under my desk. He is bigger than in the previous photo!

No Name Yet!

But we love him. Just came home today!

Last Sunday in April!

Laura is out driving with Michael as I write this. Here's a picture of her and Max, taken a few years ago, when all she drove was a bike!

Last night was the Parkrose Educational Foundation dinner and auction at Holiday Inn. That was a lot of fun, and yes, adults do occassionally still dance to Play that Funky Music White Boy - but Mike does it best!

The tour went to Corvalls and Newport this week. That was fun, and we had attentive audiences. I loved visiting Newport High School with Sara Ryan.

I am running the Eugene Half Marathon next week so I should run far today. But I may just run 7. I ran 10 and a little extra last weekend, so I know I can run 13.1!

I'm reading at the Eugene Public Library in May.

Planted

Lilies, iris, snap peas, forget-me-nots.

Tomorrow, geraniums and petunias and lavender.

Laura got her driver's permit today. Max had his opening day game for Little League.

Gotta run far tomorrow.

Reading the new Beckman.

Like a Day Without Sunshine

PCS without Mead Hunter.

I can't wait to see where he lands.

Tomorrow National Poetry Month begins! Get your haiku on.

Spring Break!

Terry Tempest Williams tomorrow.

Kids on spring break.

Shamrock Run!

I ran the Shamrock Run today with Amy. I ran faster than in 2006!

I never blog these days.

Reading Tod Marshall's The Tangled Line and enjoying it very much.

Poems from Updike in this week's New Yorker. Sad but I appreciated him taking the time to say goodbye.

Hello!
