Just thought I'd let everyone know that I had a big break through tonight in my maturation process. Since I'm packing to leave for Oregon at 10 o'clock at night, I decided that I could let go of the the iron grip I like to have on organization and being prepared for anything. You might ask what was my epiphany? I threw my toilet kit in my duffel without even looking to see if there was sufficient toothpaste, shampoo, etc. for the trip.

I figured there's groceries in them thar boondocks of Bend and surely I could find whatever I might need. I feel so liberated.

PS - there may be a smurf sighting. We'll be taking bait and binoculars.
