Climb through the clouds.

Whew, sorry for the blog neglect. I've been out of town this last week, and I'm still sick.

........

I was in Colorado Springs for a work conference during the beginning of the week. Colorado is a beautiful state, and our meetings were in the shadow of Pike's Peak. Thunder storms rolled in every night, and the rumbling crashes bounced off the mountains. It was much more dramatic than the high storms we get here in Oregon.

I just returned from my annual family reunion out in the wilderness of Central Oregon. It was a perfect weather weekend- warm, but not too hot. We enjoyed a hike through the rugged terrain and a few hands of Rook to pass the time.

I'm looking forward to being well soon. I'm just waiting for these antibiotics to kick in. I'm heading into week three of having this pesky fever.
