This week I'm in Chicago and St. Louis. Two more locations with MLB teams.
Dear Bud, when does Portland get theirs?

This week I'm in Great Falls, MT. Whilst visiting in 2006, I visited the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center and snapped some photos.

This week I'm in Dallas and Denver. It's snowing in Denver in May! I'm starting to think that maybe Al Gore is either an idiot or a genius. Care to purchase a carbon credit?
We tried to move to Denver about 10 years ago but it didn't work out. As my lovely-wife-Cynthia says, "It wasn't meant to be."

This week I'm in Anaheim and Fremont. Anaheim is the happiest place on earth, because they have a baseball team. Fremont is soon to be the home of the A's. I'm jealous because California has 5 baseball teams and Oregon has zero. Maybe Bud should consider expansion and promote the Beavers to MLB.

This week I'm in San Antonio with my-lovely-wife-Cynthia attending the annual AFAA Codes Conference. The river walk is interesting though the river itself is disturbing to me because it reminds me of shit river in Subic Bay Phillipines.

This week I'm in Conshohocken, PA at the Montgomery County Fire Academy. Less than a week after my mom passed away, on Monday evening this week, right before midnight, #2 grand daughter, Adrianne, was born. The circle of life right before my very eyes.

Last week I was in Sacramento at the California State Fire Marshal's office. Sadly, my mom passed away while I was away. It has been a tough time for our family and I appreciate all of your heartfelt and kind words.

This week I'm in Houston where the weather is nice. Locals probably think it's rather cold but a high of 73 degrees without rain in March is hot for an Oregonian.
