two thousand niner

Lots happened over the past couple weeks.

Kid turned one

Crazy weather

Jesus had a birthday

and 2009 happened


I'm still reeling from travel, getting sick, and adjusting to work.

Merry fuckin' New Year, let's see what 2009 brings....

This one's for you, kid...

Booger sugar

So it's been snowing and cold here all week. News freakouts claiming ARCTIC BLAST!, causing people to freak out and buy all the break and milk they can get their hands on. Just like the good ol' East Coast...

I actually really like the change in weather- it's a good way to break up the typical Portland winter of 40-something degrees and rain, and it makes me a little nostalgic. Don't miss college, but I miss the worry-free Bozeman days. Oh, and the single worst thing about Portland getting hit with snow and ice is the drivers. if you are gonna sprack out, just stay home. Or better yet, take the bus!

"Just like autumn leaves, we're in for change..."

Times are a bit strange. Work is a ticking timebomb, had two very good friends get laid off within hours of each other, and the fam is on the brink of making some serious lifestyle decisions. And on a positive note- Barak Obama.

I'm not sure why I feel the need to post anything today, other than to state the obvious- everything changes when you have a child. Don't think for a second that it's a bad thing- quite the opposite. Holden is, without a doubt, the most powerful being on the planet. He's capable of bringing me to tears and weakening my knees with the most unassuming action. Something that would be overlooked by anyone else other than his parents. Can't explain it.

Anyhow- not trying to get all emo, but what can I say? I was listening to TVOTR this morning, drinking coffee- and Province came on the iTunes. As the title of this post states, we're in for change.

Stay tuned...

Never been a scooter guy, but this is just bad ass


And Friday was Halloween. Got the kids together- check out the monkey attacking the lion

Fall in Portland

Matt sent me a couple pics from a little fall afternoon ride we did. Myself on the 400, Mike on his 400, Chris on his GB, and Matt & Julie in the 356.



Oh, and here's the happy fam. Maybe Holden will be into vintage bikes when he gets older? He is looking the part already....

Baby walking

Well, kinda. Here's a little youtuber of Holden walking with the help of a wagon. Dutch is pretty excited about it, too.
