It’s Saturday, which means it’s time to wind down and enjoy life.
I live in the Pacific Northwest. There’s a place not too far from here that makes it really easy to enjoy life. And it’s REALLY easy with the right company.
It’s the Columbia Gorge. Thomas Jefferson sent Lewis & Clark to go find it… in a round-about, not-really kind of way. But Lewis & Clark did travel the length of the gorge on their journey.
It’s an amazing site to see, check it out if you ever get a chance.

Many yeas ago I drove to Calgary and followed the Colombia river from the mouth all the way up and then to Seattle, Sandpoint along the Kootenay and then to Calgary.. The Colombia is one mighty river and the Coastguard train their Boatsmen and women at the mouth of the Colombia and that’s mighty rough water.
I spend the Summers in Shedia/Moncton New Brunswick, Canada which has some of the highest tides in the world.
I go ocean Swimming with my old buddies. I wear a shorty wetsuit and they call me the Califronia
Chicken. The water is 63 to 68 degrees in the summer and it’s a little refreshing.
I live in Silicon Valley and my tolernce for cold has dimished greatly.

I love trying new restaurants. Most of my family lives in Washington but the few who don’t live in SoCal, so I got to switch climates quite a bit over the summers growing up. I like it hot, but I also love having all 4 seasons here. It’s beautiful country.
Cheers! And thanks for the feedback on comments, I’m going to try and fix some things.
