LG Afro

LG on the phone with Random Eastern European in front of Hydro's new place.  I wish I could grow a head of hair like that.  And I love the red door.  Anyone want to see Brokeback with me?

Casey Wahi: Rest in Peace

I just returned from Mt. Kili to a bunch of e-mail...

My friend Casey Wahi died on December 30th.  She was my age and suffered from MS the last few years of her life.  I am gutted to hear this and wanna extend a big hug to Vineet and family.

Memories of Casey
She was always super supportive of me/Bootboyz in our endeavors.  Even when we were paper boyz and towel boyz she'd be friendly and encouraging.

I'll always remember her for the one  night that Vineet, Casey and a few friends were hanging out at High Street Brewery in Eugene talking about marriage, relationships and the such.

We listened to how Vineet and Casey met.  The conversation turned to my dating life and both Casey and Vineet asked me, "What am I looking for?"   They both a had a strict list of requirements that each filled for each other and were happier for it.

I did not have an answer.  Casey suggested that I should if I want a partner.  How else are you gonna know who is right if you don't know what you want?  JenLeo and I discussed it many times over the years and Casey always brought it up in a supportive way.  I did come up with a list and finally shared bits of it with her last time I saw her in the hospital a few months ago.  It was nice to know that she cared.

Anyway...Casey was a super kind and kewl woman and I will miss her.  Read Vineet's e-mail below if you did not receive it.

Nick is ok in Bali

My business partner and mate Nick, is ok after the most recent Bali Bombs.  I just heard from him via text message as well.  Good vibes to the people of Bali having to deal with this again.

Husum Falls

We (Brian, Robyn, Chrisso, and Lindsay) did a river rafting trip down the White Salmon river.

Here is a photoset of our Husum Falls decent. Good times for sure.

Birth of a Baby in Bali, Indonesia

My buddy and business partner Nick had a babay this past week. He blogged it. Great commentary and great pictures. To be honest, it makes me want to go make a baby and have one.

Happy Birthday to Chris Heidrich

Last nite was such a gr8 nite that I can barely type.  Chris Hydro's birthday was perhaps one of the funnest nites I have participated in that I can remember.  So much laughing...so much smiling, more laughing, lotsa friends, gr8 food, gr8 drink.  I am happy to be alive and enjoy it.  Pictures to come so I remember.
