Boy, it's been a whole month since we have updated the blog.. sorry everyone!
The usual work/sleep/party/buy-a-new-laptop routine has kept us busy lately. I love the new laptop because it is a very quiet and powerful replacement for an older desktop computer we kept in the office closet because it was so loud. Now we've got a small closet free again, and a fast computer we can carry around. I avoided Windows Vista intentionally opting for XP instead, but it wasn't easy. Check the small business section for XP systems for most manufacturers, the "home" computers are all Vista. (Even our friends working at Microsoft don't use Vista yet..!)
We had a great trip to the Wallowa mountains in Eastern Oregon for a long weekend by taking 2 days of vacation.We backpacked one night (9 miles each way..!) up to a beautiful alpine lake, then stayed at a nice B&B in Joseph. Lucky for Brett in nearby Enterprise, OR the Terminal Gravity brewpub was a great place to stop in and meet some locals. We also stopped in Walla-Walla on the way back for a quick college and winery visit too.
Here are some pictures from the Wallowa trip, but here's a teaser:
