40/365: Scream by h pants explosion (on creative hiatus-see profile), on Flickr School started for the Pie Dudes last week Wednesday, two days after we returned from a week long vacation in Ashland, OR and attended several plays at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival.  More later.  In fact, that seems to be a bit of […]

Hey all. I just got back from dropping the Pie Dudes off at their first residential camp (meaning they’re away from home on their own for a full week at camp).  It was a very, very long 10 hour drive.  Good news: I gassed up on the way back for an unbelievable $4.06 […]
