“Postcard as Diamond”
Posted by Steve on May 19th, 2008The title of this post comes from an entry on the blog of a friend of mine from high school who blogs under the alias Sioux.

The tide seemed perfect for an early morning drift followed by a dive at slack tide later on. Neither of us have been diving as often as we used to [...]
A Bat-tastic Show!
Posted by Steve on November 6th, 2006On Saturday night, we got a babysitter for Evan, met up with Tim and Kim downtown, and watched a very entertaining production of Bat Boy: The Musical put on by the Actors Cabaret of Eugene. As mentioned before, we’d already seen the 2003 production of Bat Boy in Portland, which was most excellent! However, one [...]
