another Sunday

We are sitting up in Portland with Hazel.  Saw Ira Glass tonight with the Lewellans after a small dinner.  I've had a nice weekend at the beach Friday night and then here last night.  Also went to the farewell dinner for Dave Goodwin who is on his way east starting Tuesday.

Current state of Ethiopia:  Cindy has made our hotel reservations for Turkey and Chicago on the way back.  We have a little better idea what we will be doing.  It's definitely getting closer...will that's obvious.  But it's also feeling like it's getting closer!

I have some nice pictures from the coast.  Here are a few.

a cormorant at Depot Bay, my favorite town on the ocean to drive through

Current job state:  OHSU has made an offer for me to stay and work in Salem.  This week will be some heated discussion about the same.  That creates a little angst for this guy!
