1500 hours- Friday 4/20/07
I have finished a day's work. Packed. Brief workout. Harassed Shelly. Travelled to the Eastgate P&R. All before three. If I managed to be this efficient even 50% of the time, I could knit beanies in my spare time and be rich. Not that I would cos I'm too lazy.
At the Eastgate P&R, I meet Shelly, Spring, and Mike. Mike is new to me. He insist on going to Smith via the Portland route. That's the way he always goes and he's driving. I am not annoyed but I know from experience (an experience I have just related to him) that I'm in for a long ride. I'm not annoyed cos I can tell immediately he has absolutely no control over this impulse. This is not just stubbornness (ala Josh), this is something painfully familiar to me. I empathize completely.
Eight hours and one Mongolian BBQ later, we arrive at Mike parents house in Bend. And a very strange weekend begins to unfold.
Mike's parents have stayed up to greet us. A delightful couple. Roberta has made carrot cake- from scratch. Even though it is 11 pm, we eat. Then go to bed.
