--- today loitering ---

Back in EUGENE at Aaron's folks house, drinking tea and getting pics off the camera and oh so very slowly onto the website. My patience for this may not live long.

We threw the SEATTLE trip after much deliberation involving a flipped coin - tails we stayed. Couldn't face another day in the car. Have decided to mooch and recover from our seaside holiday and then POTTER up to Portland for some BLUES festival on Saturday.

I am busy COOKING[!] supper for tonight. Heather is wide eyed at the volume of RED WINE i've poured into the bolognese [just over half a bottle so far] and has reported it to a friend on the phone with much entertainment. She has little FAITH in my cooking skills, and is beyond dubious now that i've added green pepper to her hatelist already in the pot: tomatoes & mushrooms.

--- drive home ---
Coming back from the coast yesterday stopped at a WILD CAT PARK and met the leopard that stars in 90% of LEOPARD photos and film moments. Lions, tigers, jaguars, and other lazy feline species begrudgingly hoisting themselves in the hot sun to accept the raw meat titbits presented by our guide.

-- hippie tour alert ---
Stopped at a WINE FARM a little further on, and ended up sitting out on the back lawn overlooking the vineyard, merrily swalling DELICIOUS PINOT NOIR and shooting the breeze with a very tanned and friendly lady who had notably large BICEPS. Two BOBTAIL KITTENS trotted out and fell asleep on our laps. Our host informed us she used to be a HIPPIE in Eugene back in the day. We buy a bottle of the 2003, shake hands (firmly) and head off.

-- the plan --
Got my train ticket to san francisco today. Leave on evening of monday 3rd.
