We started our day with festival IT drama and we were still dealing with it by the time we got back home to Portland. Kris was in for hours and hours today, trying to resolve it. The festival has been OFF THE INTERNET since Wednesday (!!!) morning. That means NO EMAIL and NO PHONES this entire time ( Read more... )

It was either overcast or actually raining today -- which is really no big deal for the beach, after all. (And that's any time of the year, much less the end of November ( Read more... )

Marilyn and I actually managed to leave the Portland house by before 10:00 a.m. this morning, if you can believe that! Hahaha. That's not like us at all.

I started off the day afraid I was getting a COLD (!!!). So I took a big dose of cough medicine (liquid) and went back to bed and slept in -- which made me feel much better, happily ( Read more... )

The best part of today??? Marilyn got the text telling her that her new iPad Air was waiting for pickup at the downtown Portland store (located in Pioneer Place). So after work she and I walked over there (in the pitch dark) to pick it up! (woo hoo) It's amazing ( Read more... )

Marilyn did some cleaning today -- but I can't claim I was really much help. I really need to get in and do some stuff around, no doubt about it! I guess things just seem to keep getting in my way ( Read more... )
