Volbeat @ Medford Armory (2014)

A little over two years ago, Volbeat played in Medford. This summer I’m planning on seeing them again in Sweden.

Last week a former student of mine had an asthma attack and after a few days died. The last time I saw him was at that Volbeat show in Medford.

Like children and parents, students aren’t supposed to die before their teachers. Yet this is the fourth or fifth student of mine, that I know of, who has passed.

My heart is heavy this Friday night.

I’m about to head out to Easter brunch at Lark’s in Ashland. Today’s photo is from a couple year’s ago at Jolene’s.

Snowy Crater Lake

Winter at Crater Lake

I have been to Crater Lake many times in winter, but yesterday’s visit featured the most snow I have seen there.

Last weekend’s trip to visit Whitman College and Oregon State University featured “between storms” conditions nearly the whole time. As a big fan of crazy clouds, I was pleased.

Even though I’ve lived in Oregon for almost 16 years, and had visited the state many times before that, this was my first time in Corvallis. This building on the OSU campus was awesome, especially with the dark clouds closing in. Turns out the building is a residence hall! They didn’t make dorms like this where I went to school…
