I’ve uploaded a handful of wedding photos. We still have hundreds to go through, so many more will be coming soon.

We went to the garden show at the Clackamas County Fairgrounds this weekend. We actually didn’t buy all that much, just about 10-12 plants. Here’s Bren…

We’ve just returned from our trip to Texas, where we saw all of my family and visited Galveston, Kemah, and Houston. We had a good time, but it’s nice to be home in Oregon. The heat and humidity down there was a bit much. On flickr, you will find many photos from the trip.

Now that I’ve had enough of the Perfect Day (sun is bad), I’ve migrated to the great indoors. There are at least 4 things I’d like to be doing while indoors: listening to music, looking at photos, browsing the web, and watching baseball. As it turns out, I’m doing all 4 at once! Check it out.

On Friday, Bren wondered into the New Seasons Market in Happy Valley to find the brewer from Ninkasi giving a talk and presentation. She was kind enough to purchase my 3 favorite Ninkasi varieties. Ninkasi is based in Eugene, so I think it’s cool that he came to make an appearance in Happy Valley for the beer-loving Portland area.

After a week of snow, rain, ice, and hail, I think Spring has finally arrived. Today is a beautiful sunny day in Portland.

We went to Outback Steakhouse last night to celebrate Carol’s Birthday. Bren spent the whole day working on a card and a gift bag for her. Both turned out to be fabulous. Unfortunately we didn’t take a photo of her work. We did, however take a couple of photos of the party.

Now that Bren has a fancy camera (Nikon D40x), I can get good bird photos. I’ve started a Flickr set for my bird photos here. I hope to get a large variety of Northwest birds into the set this summer.

I couldn’t take it anymore. My beard was itchy and hairy and just annoying. Here’s a photo taken just before I shaved. I’m a beard failure.

I’ve decided to go a few days without shaving, to see what would happen. Unsurprisingly, a beard is sprouting. I have to decide today whether to shave or not. It’s a tough decision…
