Today I take a break from blogging about my trip to Oregon to ask a favour. My friend Dan is having surgery to repair a hiatal hernia.

Today we spent the day at Mount Hood. First, there was a gorgeous drive up the mountain, past the hilariously named Boring, Oregon: And then we spent some time in the ominous sounding village of “Government Camp” – a ski resort in the winter, but an “adventure park” in the summer.

Where “mad computer skillz” = I know how to use AutoFilter […] →Read more

I freaking love The Oatmeal. It’s one of the first things I read in my Google Reader when I see there’s a new posting ((Along with xkcd, Savage Chickens, and Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal)). So when I saw on The Oatmeal’s recent posting saying that I could use The Oatmeal’s adorable Tumblbeasts on my very […] →Read more
