Bend over

This is weird: The picture I thought my phone deleted is back. Also, the berries I thought were raspberries are actually blackberries... Jack dropped me off on Rte 97 on the northern edge of Bend at about 1:00 today, so I am now heading north out of Bend. We went to Newberry Volcano and Paulina Peak the other day. The obsidian flow was very cool. It was nice hanging out and getting to know Jack and Phyl, but it's time to move on. I felt kinda sick for at least a few days during my stay; I wonder if it resulted from my rare opportunity for extensive relaxation. Bend is a nice little place. It is pretty; a very green desert. It's mostly flat here, but the trees and landscape provide a natural backdrop that keeps you from feeling like you're in a huge desolate expanse. My new boots feel a little awkward right now, but I'm sure they will feel great once I've had a few days to break them in.
It now feels like a lot of work to carry my pack. Hopefully I'll get used to it pretty quickly.

Keep the ideas rolling, especially about creating an Aimless animated series. Keep on expressing your ideas about what would make this world a better place. If you get a chance, watch the movie, Thumbsucker. It's a great story, and I thought a lot about you when the movie began to portray a story about ADHD/ADD and Riddlin. It made me wonder if you have been able to kick that stuff out of your life, after this whole experience of yours has opened up new possibilities for yourself. I really hope that you keep on until it just doesn't make any sense to put off the culmination any longer -- the creation of whatever you are creating. WORD!

It's Gallery Hop in the Short North tonight, so I expect it to be busy. Maybe I'll make some $$?

I wonder if OSU won or lost?
