The worst thing about Oregon is the weather. 7 months of gray can really start to alter your mood and effect you. Living there for a majority of your life you learn to live with it and really appreciate the sun whenever it comes out. Over here I would say that the weather has been the best thing. So far it has been warm and sunny 70% of the time. I've spent most of my weekends at the beach. I'm pretty far away from it , about 40 minutes on the subway. I could complain about that but life's about perspective. In Oregon it me an hour and a half, driving, and the weather was unreliable at best. Here if I want to go it costs me $2 round trip and all I have to do is sit there, maybe read a book or listen to music. It could be a lot worse.
I finally finished Moby Dick. Don't mess with him, he's one tough whale.
I got a music sythesizer/editing program for my computer. There is so much you can do with it, it's a little intimidating. I'm guessing that in about a year I might be able to make a song. It's a complicated program. It's called Cakewalk SONAR.
School has been getting easier. 7th graders suck. 6th graders are great, 8th graders can be difficult at times, but 7th graders never want to pay attention and are constantly chatting amongst themselves. I'm always yelling at them, sometimes it's fun belting out a QUIET as loud as I can.
I'm so mad that the Lakers are good again. I think I really dislike Lakers fans more than the Lakers themselves. I feel like half of them are transplants and therefore not legitimate fans while the other half only talks about "how good" the team is and not about how good the games are. This is the same way I feel about the Ducks. Half of the Duck fans in Oregon didn't even go to U of O. That's why it feels so good to beat them. 2 years in a row!!!
OK, weird sports tangent over. Go Blazers (next season of course).

Yes Oregon weather is not the best. And of course it is raining alot this week. But it would not be Rose Festival week without all the rain. Just to let you know, people will get a ticket if they try to save their spot for the parade more than 24 hours before. And if they do save a spot within the 24 hours. Somebody has to stay in that spot. But not to worry, the city will be setting up Honey Buckets along the route for those people camping out. But with all the rain, it also means that it is pretty and green. It sounds like you are keeping yourself busy. Can't wait to hear your music. Maybe on youtube on day. Miss you Tony. Love Aunt Ruth
Yeah, I still read Oregonlive to keep up to date. I like that they have to camp out,it makes it more of an event. Why anyone would camp out for a parade I'll never know. Those things always bored me to death.
That greenery sure is nice. The kids at my school have to play soccer on a big, hard, dirt field. Oregon summers rule.
