Random Crap (from Boise, ID)
Still traveling…it’s 11:01 PM Mountain Standard Time and I find myself in a hotel in Boise, Idaho. Only seven hours on the road separate me from my girlfriend and those will all be over by 2 PM tomorrow.
The plan for tomorrow is to meet up with Aftan down at her dorm at OSU, then chill there for a few hours while she and her fellow RA’s check residents out of the building for Thanksgiving break. Then I’ll drive her and all the stuff in my car to her parents’ house in Scappoose, which will be my temporary home for awhile.
There existed a possibility of Aftan and I being able to attend the Civil War football game (Oregon vs. OSU, for those of you who don’t know) on Friday, but I felt leery about being a Duck sitting among Beaver fans. Okay, so I just lied, but we decided to forego spending $60 for tickets and sitting in the cold rain. Instead we’re gonna go up to Portland in the early morning to watch the Holiday Parade, and then come back home to bake cookies and watch the game on TV. You see the game action better on the tube anyway.
A bit of ain’t-it-cool-news: I’ll be working Washington State COGOP’s Winter Retreat this year in late January. More to come on that soon, but it’s so cool to be able to take the experience I gained as a camper throughout my teenage life, grow from that and return to WR to be a group leader for a new group of kids. I look forward to it!!!
Off to bed for me now. I hope I don’t have to buy chains tomorrow just to drive up Deadman Pass in Oregon. Seriously, that’s what they call it. One of my former co-workers at Langley AFB was telling me how scary it was for her to drive it. Yeesh. Pray for my protection…it’s supposed to rain hard tomorrow.
FYI, on this drive home I’ve driven into or through three states I’d never previously encountered in any of my travels. Iowa, Nebraska and Utah. Almost touched Colorado…wait, I’ve been there.
Anyhoo, peace out and good night.
