Tim and Tom: We have made our way down so far as Medford via Crater Lake National Park. We stayed in a motel last night with a gym and an indoor pool/spa so that has kind of set the standard for our last few days on our way down to San Fransisco, yes we have become motel snobs! The ability to work out and also swim and lounge around in the spa has been a god send. It is just the luxury that we have been needing. These places do not have kitchens so we have found ourselves living out of [View Full Entry]

Crater Lake Dave B 3/8/07 Jim, Rosey and I all got up around 6:00 the next morning. We had some breakfast and got going around 7:00. Jim is a great host and stopped at a couple locations along the way to show me some noteworthy sites. In one location the river is known to be a world renown trout and salmon fishing stream. Jim let me lead so I could stop when I wanted to take a photo. We made it to Beckies restaurant near Crater Lake to drop my truck off and then I got in with Jim. I [View Full Entry]

...I was right! Which is usually one of my favorite things. However, not when it leaves me sitting in an airport with a book I finished two days ago. You would think by now I would have learned to bring an extra one, but I haven't. I did teach myself to knit, though. I just turned 31 and decided that I needed a productive hobby. I also have a thing for scarves, so knitting seemed the perfect thing, and it packs well! Anyway, I knitted for an hour and a half and then raced through my pre-flight and boarding. Of-course I [View Full Entry]

Darling Sadie, who never reads my travelblogs, I was working at Chateaulin last night and who the hell sees me putting a rack of glasses at the bar but Jace, the Michael's regular! I guess it never occurred to me that she would come down for the plays, but it sure was an awesome surprise. She made my night. We talked for a bit, mostly about the restaurant and such, how authentic it was, this and that. It was totally awesome to have a surprise jace. We also talked about how, after being offered a position making appetizers and desserts there, [View Full Entry]

Marcedes, my sepulchral beauty, It burns. Alot. So I've given up on Zingaro's, lady hasn't called me, and Chateaulin restaurant francais did. Chateaulin is a gorgeous place, really really efficient, easy to work in despite being the smallest kitchen I've been in thus far. Their dishwasher is set so high the water, if it weren't constantly moving, would boil. Thier food is absolutely gorgeous and beautiful, and the employee meals are bitchin. Yesterday I had a salmon filet, mashed potatoes and some veggies sauteed to perfection. The day before, chicken strips in some sort of sauce with portabe [View Full Entry]

My Sadie, I was sleeping next to a graveyard towards the north end of ashland, by I-5, and it is near train tracks. Late at night the train came rolling by and I watched it until it was gone. The next morning it came by again and woke me up, and I watched it until it was gone once more, and then fell back asleep. My world is full of magic. So I got rid of Greenleaf. They hadn't needed me there for a while and wouldn't for a while longer, and it was apparent that I was simply help for [View Full Entry]

Sadie, So not much new has been happening. I still read extensively. Now I'm studying latin and astrology, soon I'll get a palmistry book, and I've also been thinking about opening up a mycology book and psychotropic drugs. A friend from PA, Mike, got me thinking about this nootropic drug (nootropic means "acting on the brain") called Piracetam. It increases blood flow between the left and right hemispheres of the brain, allows for faster communication between synapses, blah blah blah. So I looked it up, and apparently there is a growing market and growing research on these nootropics, and I [View Full Entry]

My Dearest, My Sadie, The job goes well. This morning I told them I was homeless, and it turned out to be incredibly freakin easy, I thought it might've been more trouble, but the boss, Daniel, was more than alright with it, especially since that I now have a cell phone in order to be in constant contact with work. Even better, they've already begun training me for line support and prep chefery, and I'm getting more and more shifts. On to the cell phone, it's a prepaid, which means extra freakin hard to get activated..yeah, its just been a pain, [View Full Entry]

Dear Sadie, I got the job at Greenleaf restaurant. Nice place, good people. It gets busy enough that they have two dishwashers at once sometimes, especially during the summer. Kitchen is tiny as hell, take michaels kitchen in half and you have greenleaf. Hot girls everywhere, really puts a spring in my step, despite the fact my step is springy enough from having a job and feeling productive. Theres room to move up, which is good, I wouldn't take a job without it, I refuse to be a career dishwasher. First night was last night, today my second, and it's been [View Full Entry]
