Butte to Butte, reading & lego

Posted on July 8, 2024

I ran in the Butte-To-Butte 10k run on the 4th of July. It was the 50th anniversary of the race here in Eugene and it was super fun. I also began and finished a new novel by one of my favorite writers, Joe Wilkins, called, The Entire Sky. Truly a story of the 90s, of Montana, of growing up and old and changing families. A very good read. Plus some labor to build a softball pitching area in the field behind my house for Nora & finally, revisiting building with legos! At the end of the race with a few runners from the Big Timber Running Club The Entire Sky. Beautiful, simply put. My friend Tom and I went to a reading by Joe…

Running & rockets

Posted on July 2, 2024

This is an overdue update, but it includes some running and a hike to the top of Spencer Butte in South Eugene to watch for the arc of a rocket launch. Firefly Aerospace is launching the rocket from just north of Los Angeles. The images are from last night’s hike, along with some from a bit earlier. I ran a couple of races in the Emerald City Trail Series this year and they often have photographers out on the course taking photos. The shirt is from the Big Timber Running Club that I belong to.

Mom’s Day

For Mother’s Day (Or is it Mothers’ Day?) Sara decided that we should all go to the local minor league baseball game – so we did! The Eugene Emeralds play as an affiliate for the San Francisco Giants at the “Low A” level. The players come and go quickly (if they are good) but the game is the game and the time at the ballpark is always fun. In addition, I looked in the fridge and snapped a photo of salsa. Team Sharp! Play Ball! Green salsa. Yum!

Random snaps –

Posted on March 12, 2024

Some random photos from recent events – robotics competitions have begun, an old no cell phone poster and pandemic shadows of sorts . . . . The South Eugene Robotics Team did very well at the first competition last weekend. The hours have been put in and the enthusiasm is high . . . As seen on a wall at the Oregon State Fairgrounds . . . New favorite snacking crackers/cookies! I do not remember where I saw this, but what a long four years it has been . . . .
