First things first. How cool is Paul? The other day when he came to meet me to walk home from our separate jobs, I had to snap this photo. It looks like one that should be posted on one of those blogs where people walk around and take snapshots of cool looking people. What a dude. Also, he has a great boss who sent him home with those flowers from his garden to give to me. What college student working an “I answer the phones” job has a boss that outstanding?
Secondly, we just got back from camping on Hosmer Lake in the Cascade Lakes region of Central Oregon. Needless to say, it was beautiful. Being too hot to run, I swam all day out to the center of the gorgeous lake below and back over and over. It was so refreshing and wonderful.
We had a pretty prime spot as well.
I think Paul entertained himself fairly well.
But its hard not to enjoy yourself here.
Even so, it felt good to arrive back in Portland after a long drive with a late sunset filled with Richard Aschcroft and Daft Punk.
Felt good, that is, until the next morning when we were greeted with a triple digits heat wave that has no promise of ending anytime soon. What’s the deal, Portland?
