Well, here we are, back in my home town of John Day, Oregon. We planned this trip back to Oregon because a good friend of mine from high school, Jennifer Holliday, is getting married in Portland on May 10th. In the meantime I found out that my recently widowed 80-something-year-old great uncle is getting remarried to a longtime family friend. I couldn't be happier for them. So we plan on sticking around for a month or two after the weddings. Fuel prices are on the rise, so we're going to save a little money and stay in my parents backyard.
