Waiting at the Tire Shop
So I’m sitting here at Les Schwab in Canby waiting for new rear brakes and I thought I would write a quick post to the blog. It has been over a week, after all. I’m writing from my phone, I’m not even sure this is actually going to work. Tell me if you don’t get this.
I’m actually a little surprised that we haven’t had to get the brakes done before now. We’ve got over 50,000 miles on the Honda. This is my second trip to Les Schwab this month. it was time for a new set of tires last week.
I might as well update you on everything else that’s going on while I’m at it. Here are a few headlines:
School is going well so far this term. I have a few more classes than last term, but so far the load is manageable. I may even add a couple more classes. We have been talking about the possibility of a future move to the Seattle area. It’s still just a thought, don’t get all excited yet. There is plenty of work up there for Mel, and I would probably seek a job at Microsoft.
We are hosting Thanksgiving this year for my family, although my brother and his wife and daughter won’t be able to make it. They will be with her family I believe. I’m doing all the cooking this year again including about 12 pies (they aren’t all for us). I really enjoy cooking so it isn’t really the chore that it sounds like. After dinner with my family we are headed up to Mel’s family for a day to spend some time with them. We really don’t get to spend as much time up there as we would like, that’s another reason why a move to Seattle would be nice for us (except for missing my family, but fair is fair I suppose).
That’s about it, really. Not much going on here. If we don’t see you, have a terrific holiday!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I hope you are all going to enjoy this holiday as much as I am. Actually, I think the whole idea of Thanksgiving as a holiday is ludicrous and ironic considering how we are thanking God for allowing us to drive out the Native Americans from their homes so that we could have a peaceful life away from our oppressors. But I really do enjoy the fellowship with my family and friends so there is still joy in the day for me.
