Here I sit.  Between awesome events.  On a Friday night.  Blahgging. I've been gone.  In Oregon.  Can't wait to tell you about the most humilated I've ever been on a trail.  Phew.  It was awesome. Then it was Anna's birthday.  We Thanksgivinged.  Said what we're thankful for... what we're not.  Tradition. I am so so…
