Right after the binges

Welcome Ron.....I have'nt forgotten you. To this day, whenever I am passing the Oregon Zoo exit going down Hwy 26, I still silently add a "Ron" after the word zoo:)

OMG !! Hello again !! :D

Glad you found us.

Hey man, I remember you! I always thought it was totally cool that you had the Railroad featured in your AV. The train is my favorite part of the zoo! (The animals are pretty sweet too.) Welcome back!

Great minds, Kevy Baby. :snap: Now let me just apply my Tangerine Dream lipstick. Okay, good. Ready?

Mwah, Oregon Zoo Ron!

Hey Ron! Good to see you again!

It took me a while after the Great Western Migration took place to catch up with them here also. But this place is swanking compared to the old homestead. Just can't beat the company here, though I still pop in to MP once in a while!

So, what... we only get the one post Ron?!? Or are you still working your way through the "Soooo...." thread?

Okay, so I picked the worst week to come back. It's Spring Break and we've seen between 7,000 and 10,000 people through the gates every day! I've gotten home wiped all week. Then, of course, my parents breeze into town. Computer time suffers.

Still poking through the forums to see what to catch up on and what not to bother with.

Since you last heard from me:

Moved to hip new address - Stumptown; smack between the Pearl and Nob Hill (that ought to confuse non-Portlanders!)

Did some great theatre: "My Fair Lady", "Man of La Mancha", "Ragtime", "Ghosts of Celilo", and a hilarious ongoing dinner show, "Who Stole My Dead Husband?"

Saw my daughter move out of her mom's and into her own tiny little place, have some employment challenges, and generally begin the transition into adulthood. She turned 20 on Sunday.

Finally re-entered the dating world, with mixed results. Had a four-month relationship with a woman who turned out to be a recovering meth addict with poorly managed bipolar disorder. Back into the shell.

Saw (well, didn't actually see) my 42-year-old ex-wife marry a 21-year-old from Australia who she met online when he was 13 (and we were still married).

I'm having a minor surgical procedure a week from Monday. I'll be home recovering for two weeks. I'm sure I'll do a lot of catching up then.

see you at the zoo

Wow! Sounds like you really could put your feet up and have a snort of something.

Dinner theater sounds fun and I, for one, am looking forward to learning more about that dinner murder when you have time.

Good luck with the surgery next week, Oz

Oh how cool! My wife and I sneak down around the Pearl area whenever we can. She loves the shopping and I love the restaruants. It's definitely a cool part of town.
