METUBE & AND AN ANNOUNCEMENT

If you're wondering about the Euro jaunt write-up, it's going to take at least a few more weeks. The notes are all on paper and I've even catalogued what's in each of the one-third of one-thousand photographs taken during that week, but it's become a project, and projects don't happen overnight. Or, as the case may be, within one month of returning from said jaunt.

Like you care.

In the meantime, I'm finally getting to know my YouTube account, and I've just uploaded the first of what will be many videos that only I will really care about.

Here is my second-eldest, second-youngest sister running away from the deadly Oregon surf at Roads End Beach, just north of Lincoln City:


And here is the last time I ever saw the Meier & Frank (since swallowed up by the Macy's empire) Santaland Monorail:



I received no small thrills from riding that monorail some twenty years ago, and my youngest sisters were on this ride, not that you can see them here, but let's not make a federal case of it.

Months after these short videos were captured (December 2005, the both of them) I have a new memory card that's many orders larger than the one assisting this unsatisfying footage, so longer videos await.

And who knows, some of them might actually have something to do with the District. You can start holding your breath right... now!

In considerably less frivolous news, congratulations are owed to my eldest (and youngest) brother Matt aka PDXNQD, who as of this weekend is engaged to be married to his longtime girlfriend Emily, a very cool girl whose monogrammed tissue paper she gave me a pack of, also in December '05, and which is still proving useful as I battle my undiagnosed allergies.

If that isn't a propitious prognostic, I guess nothing is.
