I think this is cool.  I remember that the Dalai Lama teaches us to do something like wish everyone (our enemies, too!) to be happy and forfilled.  I think this helped me cultivate that idea more.

I found this on a disk yesterday.  It is from my April '08 trip to Seattle.  Back when I was a young man.  Matt Fletcher and Josh peruse records in the 1st Hill district of Seattle.

Say 'Hi' to my Dad in North Dakota.

I think The Johnsons like the cold a bit.

He traveled to his homeland to see the UND Fighting Sioux play a series of hockey games with the DU Pioneers.  UND won the first 8-3.  Whoa.  DU managed a tie in overtime in the second game.  Dad loves North Dakota more than anyone I know.

Josh and I, on a peak near Bethoud Pass, CO.  18" pow!  Bluebird!  11.9K ft.

Here is Anni.  She is posing in front of her new house in Pacifica, CA.  Quite nice!

Jeff and Scott Kostka resting from a hike at Silverton Mtn., CO.  How about that?  Up near 13K ft. and getting beat up on the hike by a couple smokers.  This was a great experiance with a couple of my life-long brajhas. Oh, yeah, SHRED THE GNAR!

Delivery

If you follow this blog and no one does then you would know that I was expecting a used computer.  Well, it finally came.  I guess it takes two months when your provider is an apartment manager.  I had to go in the manager's unit to pick it up.  It appeared that they actually abandoned furniture when it became covered in things and picked up additional furniture which they placed in front of the covered furniture.  I really appreaciate the gift of the computer which they were abandoning.  I don't want to seem unappreciative but it did take me a hour to clean the dust and goo off the monitor, keyboard and tower.  Oh well, it is nice, THANKS.
