Dive pics from Cabo San Lucas

I know, I know, these pics are from my dive in Cabo San Lucas and I should have posted them to my other site. I finally got them all good in photoshop, so here they are. Enjoy.

Roller Derby Madness

I can always rely on the Amazing Dano to shake me out of my boredom. He calls me out of the blue and somehow has managed to get VIP tickets to the Rosecity Roller Derby's semi-finals. Having absolutely nothing better to do, I gladly accept this chance at passing the time faster.

Roller Derby has never made much sense to me, though on principle it has its appeal. Hey a bunch of tough chicks knocking the crap out of each other. Its a bit roman for me but hey why not. So it was the Break Neck Betties versus the High Rollers. For my first game, I'm led to understand that it was a monumental event as it was one of the closest games in recent history. The Break Neck Betties are 2007 Champions, and typical recognized as the likely winners of 2008. Apparently I'm now a groupie of the Break Neck Betties - hey a free T-shirt and free beer sealed the deal.

Back in Portland, Dusting Off this Old Blog

I returned to Portland recently and have been trying to readjust to the Portland reality. Its just not happening to me, I feel completely claustrophobic! This no doubt sounds strange coming from someone who just left a ship that was 900 ft long on a good day. But its the sense of limitation that this place brings to me that bothers me.

I suppose being away from the love of my life, Judy doesn't help much either. Portlanders seem too pasty and just too damned white for me now. I think my life in Portland is over, this is no longer home for me. But where is home now?
