Ski'in and Shoot'in

Prone Shooting - First Lap
Originally uploaded by geisthaus.

Ok, what if you like to rock climb and bike and hike and run marathons and pound beers at brewpubs and wear your Solomon gear and go to the soaking pool at the Kennedy School and generally live the life of a well drenched and active Oregonian… and then you move to Syracuse NY? You start shooting things on your skis of course! Evan’s taken up a new hobby and here are the pictures to prove it. Check out his blog when you get a chance.

Thanks for a great time in Oregon!

When I got home I took my GRE again and scored well enough to get into Graduate School. I also learned that I got an A in Physics! Stay tuned to find out where I'll be going to grad school next year! (better come visit New York soon, we won't be here forever!)

See you again soon! Love, Michelle

Christmas/New Years Album Track List

So here's the track list to the CD we gave out (alternatively named Notes from 2005 and Noises from 2005, depending on if Michelle or I wrote the title on your CD). The tracks "should" self populate if you put them in your iTunes. Unfortunately, "should" doesn't always turn into "will" self populate. Because of that little problem I'm putting up the song list on helloportland. Each song links to more info on that song and album. So, click away. Hello Portland, here are the CD tracks.
