Marilyn and I just got home at 10:30 p.m. from the V.I.P. Party (held at the U of O building downtown). We're both pretty tired out, but we had a GREAT time -- with great people ( Read more... )

Marilyn is on her way home from the office as I type this. It's just past 11:00 p.m.

I've got dinner waiting, at least!

Can't wait to EAT and SLEEP.

At work (it's around 9:00 p.m.) -- Marilyn has been working on the GFP Script and I've been cleaning out my email. Wow. I don't sound very productive, do I? Hahahahahahaha ( Read more... )

Just back with Marilyn from our first of two fireworks show -- which was AMAZING ( Read more... )
