A two-day volleyball tournament gets underway today in Eugene featuring some of the best teams in the country. Matches will take place at the Matthew Knight Arena and will be broadcast on the Pac-12 Network. Besides the University of Oregon, the other teams are coming from the University of Florida, University of Nebraska, and University of Texas. Nebraska is ranked #1, and Texas is #2 in the country.

I was fortunate enough to see one of my favorite bands last year on what ended up being the first show on their final tour. Agalloch is no more. So sad.

Today’s random, desktop background image makes me kind of excited because I took it when I was with my daughter, who I will see for the first time in almost a month in less than 48 hours. She is coming to visit me for about a week in Copenhagen.

Washington Water Power (Spokane)

Washington Water Power is now Avista, but it’s nice that they left this sign alone.
