Made It!

Flight went really well. Travis was a trooper. We only had a slight bit of turbulence, and even though the flight was full, it seems that mostly everything went off without a hitch.

Can't confess that I'm overly fond of the Alaska Airlines 'credit card' only money payment scheme for inflight services (food, drinks, etc.) Seems grossly inefficient and slow. I realize making change and such is not fun either, but what can you do?


Mom picked us up at the airport. New truck looks nice. I like the grey color. Works.

Went to Gold Rush liquors and stocked up on all of our beverage needs for the coming days.

Dinner was salad and pizza from Pizza Pete's.

Tomorrow, lunch with Great Aunt Reva and Gramma Nori. Don't know where yet, but we'll figure that out as the time comes.


Mom and Dad got me a pretty seriously awesome serigraph from my cousin Dick Clifton, long since passed away. It is a nice piece of art over Multnomah Falls. Dad is going to frame it, and that'll be my birthday present, most excellent gift. I'm stoked about it! (Even though now it means I have to put a hole in the wall...... taboo.....)

Off to the cabin in Sunrise tomorrow evening for a few days.


More later.
