liiiive! from Portland

wow...great to hear from every1. Grats on the new and upcoming babies! Should we start a snowboarding camp and try to dominate the snowboarding world? My poor parents.....1 of these days we'll get around to it. And Kris, congrats to you and Angel on your lasting relationship and upcoming wedding....getting married can be fun and does create another bond....maybe we'll try and make it back to Michigan in June.

Shani, you and Pete are always welcome to stay with us in Portland (and that goes for every1). We have a futon in the living room that makes a good bed.....we're still stuck in an apartment :( but we are starting to look for a house again (prices have just been so silly but theyre coming down big time).

Brandy, think its cool that you are running in these competitions. Try and find a race in Oregon. We have a Mt Hood to the coast run every year that we should look into....i'd run it with you.

I'm just recovering from an evil cold that I just gave to Andi....we're such babies when we're sick. Andi is doing really good. She is still working as a web developer and in her free time she's making all kinds of glass thingys (pendants, beads, marbles...and other things I probably shouldnt mention)....and she's teaching glass classes as well. She's had a couple of shows this year. The last one was in Lincoln City on the coast and she has one in Portland over Thanksgiving....fun times.

I messed up and got a legitimate job. I'm teaching Adult Education at Portland Community College. I have 2 classes....one is for low level learners who can barely read or write and one is for people who dropped out of school and want their GED. It's a lot of fun with minimum behavior problems...I get to teach instead of babysitting. The women bring me food too!
I'm still planning on going down to northern California every summer for a month to help TJ with the grape vines....

I see Joey, Jonna, and all the kids every so often. We had a picnic about 6 weeks ago. I go hiking or backpacking with Joey about once a month. His new girl Darby is all smiles and treats him good....the kids love her.

peace
Andy
