Vacation time

Sorry about the lack of posts. My wife and I went on vacation to the Northwest for an extended week and I erroneously thought I would actually do work. For the first time in years I let go of the office right away. I guess I am maturing a bit.

The Northwest is a wonderful place ( in summer!) the locals assure me that the 9 days we spent there are all the good weather they get. (I am not so sure, that they just dont want people to move there). I dont like the heat so much and it hardly got over 75 any day. It generally stays in the 60′s which is fine with me.

We got to see the Oregon Coast and it is truly amazing. Way too cold to get in the water, but it has a harsh beauty to it that I could stare at for hours. I did walk into the water and not only did I lose feeling nearly immediately, I thought my feet would have to be amputated, they hurt so bad.

We saw the non tropical rain forest of Olympic park. Wow! the scale of trees is hard to explain. Douglas Firs are absolutely amazing!
