After my trip to New Mexico and back (via TX, CO, UT, ID, and OR), I stayed home all of two days, then had to split again for some denom meetings in Vancouver, WA, just on the other side of the mighty Columbia River from Portland, OR. The meetings were . . . well . . . I'll hold my tongue there. One afternoon and evening were spent in downtown Portland, though, which was very cool. We actually had a meeting at Stumptown Coffee - which, in the coffee world, is an elite haven of true bliss. I'm already looking forward to going back.
Now, I'm just happy to be home for a spell. Last night I spent the 4th night out of the last 14 in my own bed.
Time to catch up on e-mail, unfinished projects, and planning for the coming school year at UW. I also get to start in on a bunch of new books, thanks to my friend, Bill Bean.
Hopefully I'll be able to gather some thought, reflections, and future oriented vision together for some more consistent posting.
