Aaron Baer - Connect the Dots

So, of course, I don’t have any more pictures up yet of our trip to Kauai. Honestly, I’ll admit that when I said I was going to have them up last weekend I knew I was on crack. But I’ll get them up there sometime… I know I will.

So, although work has been extremely slow this past week, overall, it’s been pretty busy life wise. Eden is currently in San Francisco helping Marisa move up here. She flew down yesterday morning and they’re driving back today. Current status is that they’re getting a very late start. So unless they stop somewhere over night on their way up I really don’t expect to see them until after midnight at the earliest. Work wise, I was able to study some Python tutorials, get registered for a conference in the Atlanta area, Château Élan Winery and Resort, for mid-September, and I am excited about the possibility of working on a couple other projects here at the office.

On Tuesday we had dinner with my Uncle Dan, Aunt Carol and their friend and house mate Barbra. They were in the area from Ohio and we were able to meet at Nicholas’s from a delicious dinner, we went on a short walk along the water front and then we drove through the downtown area and I gave my “Downtown Portland in 20 minutes” Driving tour. It was great to see them and a very fun adventure.

On Wednesday I lost. The Personal Telco Project’s elections for president were held on Wednesday. I was a candidate however, after it was all said and done Don Park won the election and is now el Presidente. Congrats Don. I’m sure that it will be an amazing experience for you and that the next two years will be challenging and successful. And thanks to everyone that put their vote to me.. and everyone else for making Personal Telco such a fantastic organization. This leaves me still the Treasurer of the organization and one of three officers of the corporation. And it leaves everyone with a new start and a lot of work to do!

Other than that life keeps on.. I really really want to get on my bike, something I might even have a chance to do tonight after work if I make it happen. I think my sleep levels are alright so I should have enough energy this afternoon. And I’ve been in the habit of riding Saturday mornings like clock work when I’m in town. But tomorrow we’ll have to unload the U-Haul and move Marisa in so I might not be able to ride until the afternoon.. That could mean some serious heat. We’ll see how it goes.

Oh.. I almost forgot.. Get this weeks Willamette Week. Eden’s photography was used for a book review of a local Portland writer.. Go Eden!!!!
