Weekend(er)

Posted on April 9, 2023

The weekend: UO Women’s Softball with Nora, new season of sports (Spring soccer), robotics continues, and running with pals! Two complimentary tickets were offered to UO Staff for the game on Friday evening. It was my first time in the relatively new ballpark, and it was quite nice. New season of soccer for Nora. New players, a new coach and new dynamics, but always fun for her. Growing up, indeed! This is a screenshot from the South Eugene Robotics Team’s (SERT) Instagram from their competition that was held in Cheney, Washington, over the weekend. They did really well and now are on their way to the World Championships competition in Houston, Texas in two weeks (!). Jonah seems to have found his niche, as…

Snowy run

Posted on March 5, 2023

In the other game the refs made it clear from the start that they would call penalties which kept the game in good competition. Also a float in Amazon Creek, which flows near our house as seen on my run yesterday.

Time off –

Posted on December 29, 2022

Time off affords me the opportunity to both do some much needed house projects and also to run. Today I ran with two different groups – the Big Timber Running Club group and my long-time UO Noon Runners group. After the second group run (the Noon Runners) we all went to the Hideaway baker for coffee and a danish. John also passed along a calendar he made from photos taken this past year, which was all bonus.
