    I am in Portland (OR) for a "Bike Boulevard Fundamentals" class. We found a dog-friendly hotel so that DH and new doggy (Gordy!) can join me tomorrow night. This is my first dog, so I had no idea that hotels did this kind of thing: they have set up a little bed for him, food and water bowls, bottled water, treats, a new toy, a copy of Fido magazine, and a little menu of meals and local pet services they can set up for him.

    I had assumed we would need to bring all his own stuff, like people have to pack up when they have small children.

    I can't wait until tomorrow night! It will be Gordy's first night away from home since he's been with us, about 2.5 weeks. I hope he likes the setup.

    I am done with my first year of my 3 year master's program! So happy to have the summer off, with nothing more to do other than think about what kind of exercise I am going to each day.
    I have learned so much. And worked so much harder than when I got my first master's, in the late seventies.

    I won an IPOD Nano with 25 dollars worth of music credits!
    I make small donations quarterly to DemocraticUnderground and this time they had a raffle for people who donate.
    I even got to pick my color!!! wooo hoooo!!

    that's the second thing I've won in 1 week. My luck of "I never win anything" has just changed.

    Er, I am just back from meeting some of my younger friends from school for drinks. I ate things that never touch my lips; cottage fries, nachos, etc. That plus 2 glasses of wine are making me feel gross. It was fun, but I can't do this very often.
    I have to go on a long ride tomorrow!
