Today I had a good workout at Klahanie gym with my mom. Yes, I worked out with my mom – it’s true – but she is a great partner! She is a world record holder at the bench press for her weight and age group (203.7 pounds for a 112 pound, 54 year old). My…

Fallen Tree Photos
This evening the tree service came and removed another tree that was leaning over our house. I guess after they took a look at it, they decided it was high priority – it wouldn’t have taken another storm to knock it down… Here are some photos of the tree that fell over our driveway before…
Windstorm Clean-up
The 2006 windstorm has had some major impacts, especially here on the eastside. Finding gas and perishable foods was a challenge for several days. However, things are generally getting back to normal around here as more neighborhoods and businesses regain electricity. We finally got our power back in Sammamish after four days and some very…
Finals Complete!!!
The 4-final show is over! I took my last final this morning and now it’s time to relax and not think for a few days! I tried my best on each and every one of my finals this semester and I am proud of myself. I fly home to Sammamish, WA tomorrow. The windstorm (see…
Homestrech!!
Wow, what an unremarkable Wednesday. My entire day consisted of studying for my last final exam of the semester (and year) and procrastinate studying by surfing the net, watching Da Ali G Show on YouTube, and listening to music. After inserting and discarding so much information into my brain the last couple weeks, it takes…

I can’t remember exactly, but I think 3rd grade was the last house I built, and that’s too bad. Little kids are building gingerbread houses around the country…

One down
First final complete, three more to go. Now it’s time to start studying for the next one – a 4 hour corporations exam bright and early Monday morning at 8:30 am. It definitely does not feel like a weekend, but the George Strait tunes are helping 🙂 Exercise: yesterday I squeezed in a back workout…
Crunch Time
With one day of studying before finals begin, I am beginning to realize the time constraints and gravity of four exams over the course of one week. I don’t mess with stress, but I must admit the S-level is rising for me a bit. Oh well, it will be over next Friday at 12 noon….
