Oregon trip – day 2 – Heceta Head Lighthouse and Hobbit Beach
I was super excited to get out and do some hiking, since I don’t get to do much in Tampa and the little hiking I get to do does not include hills – seriously, not even like large piles of dirt. It must be the fact that I grew up on the side of a…

Oregon trip – day 1 – Tampa to Portland to Eugene
Debi’s work needed to send her to Oregon for a project. Since Toren has not self-weaned, Debi didn’t want to leave him for a week away he likely would during that time and we’re not in a hurry to have that happen. However, while in Oregon she needed to be available all day for the…

One of the organizations with which I’m affiliated, Equality Florida, had an entry in the St. Petersburg Gay Pride Parade on Saturday. They were looking for volunteers to march in the parade. Since Toren had never been to a parade, I thought it might be fun to have the whole family march for equal rights.…

UT highlights my research

Toren’s moving out
Toren has, amazingly, accumulated so many toys (despite my best efforts) that we had to find a second toy box. We opted for this old filing box that I bought around 1998 for my files (yes, we’ve had it that long). While the box looks huge, it’s rather lightweight – the perfect size for Toren…
