Is this it?!

I flew into Chicago yesterday to be hear for a hopefully long playoff run by the Cubbies. So I’ll be working remotely from random near-north side locations. Trying to meet up with old friends while here. Email me if you are around.

Got 4 tickets for the game 3 on saturday. Here’s to hoping that it is a meaningful game.

Folks are excited. Seeing the St. Louis Cardinals win it all last year after only winning 83 games in the regular season has some folks believing. I don’t know what to think and will not make any predictions but will cheer my nutz off.

I’m back in PDX. It was an awesome experience. I’ll try to upload some photos from the trip…you can see we took several 1000 for WCBlog. Looking forward to enjoying the Oregon summer and catching up with friends in Portland.

In FRA for last connection back to States. It’s awesome to think we’ll be back here in 50 days or so for World Cup. Looking forward to catching up with folks back home and enjoying spring.

I am off to Europe for almost 3 weeks tommorrow morning.  As always, I am up late the nite before trying to get as much done as possible.  It feels like I have barely been home.  To all my friends that I have not been in contact, I hope to connect with you soon.  Cheers and happy Spring to everyone. 🙂

for 34 days or so – then back to Europe.  Hope to catch up with folks soon.

I am at my normal PDX wifi spot (remember – I used to have glasses) and still have another 2 hours before my flight to Seattle.  Sitting here reading Court’s Nairobi Adventures and txt messaging with Donovan and Carrie on Kili.  Carries says that a fridge of Kili beer is waiting for me, at their house on Mt. Kili.  Should be good.

In the meantime, I have about 48 hours of travel ahead of me.  I am pretty relaxed about it.  Having done trips like this several times the past few years…the best thing todo is chill.  Whatever happens, happens.  Very little I can do, and stressing does nothing.  So injoy the wifi, txt with friends and voila.  I’m be there in a few days.

Other Notes
I’ll be pretty far away from e-mail until January 5th.  Maybe check in the 24th, 26th – but that is about all.  I will have text messaging capabilities in Tanzania, and hopefully for the 7 days that we will be climbing Kilimanjaro…

Not sure about updating this very much as well over the next few weeks.

Friends and family in PDX and USA – see or talk to you in February.  Happy New Year and thanks for being friendly etc in 2005.  I hope we can still be friends and do challenging things in 2006 and beyond.  Rock on.

Nick is funny:

So picking your nose in a ditch is cool, but never sneeze in front of someone, especially if you haven’t showered much lately.
