SUCCESSFULL ROAD TRIP STARTS

PERSONAL

I awoke this morning at 9:30 am to a 3+ after a great nights sleep at the beach. We made it to Chinook Winds last night after one very nice stop along the way, at Spirit Mountain. I did tell Betsy, and Judi, and I might even have published this already, so maybe even Brandee is aware, but I am combining her Birthday and mine on some Keno tickets at certain strategic times (when I have the feeling, and when its close to the hour of her birth) and I've decided (Those tickets winnings will be split between Judi's MS walk and Brandee's March of Dimes Walk) It is only the second day of this trip but MS and the March forbabies.org have garnered $250.00 each, and we've got 3 and ½ days left to make that grow. I am very sure there are a few of “those who would not be seen” helping us, heck even Judi's being trated well; although I tried but couldn't win that one cool car for her at spirit mountain. She has been fixating on those one of those new T-Birds and we actually spotted 4-5 of them on the way over here. I think it's a sign, She thinks I'm crazy. I'm not sure if I will be able to post from here but it does appear we have a wifi connection in our room. Judi got me connected, and right in the middle of reading my email, it went away, and she's off shopping.

POLITICAL

Next week’s regular BT meeting is cancelled (4/28); we encourage everyone to attend the AFL-CIO’s memorial service and dedication of the Fallen Worker Memorial at the State Capitol Mall in Salem on Tuesday, April 28th from noon to 1:00pm in remembrance of those killed and injured on the job.  Gov. Ted Kulongoski will be the featured speaker.

SPORTS

Blazers can't possibly go down 0-2 can they? Does anybody remember how the 1977-78 campionship started? Or was that 76-77?

C0MMUNITY ORGANIZERS

NWOLC's Labor Appreciation is coming up, I hope you all have your tickets!

The Helena AOH is still raising funds for their to-do, The Meagher Memorial at Fort Benton Montana. Donations can be sent to The Meagher Memorial at PO Box 1916; Helena Montana 59624. With the many Irish followers I have, maybe I can give them some aid.

I'm still not sure when, but, I hope to get a link to the many pictures that were taken at the MS walk.

I always thought Grampas, and Momas, were supposed to be doing the bragging? I thought I knew a lot about the Jewish faith, considering I have a number of Jewish friends, but they never told me that baby bragging was also a poppas responsibility. I hope this will work here at my Lazy Boy http://wyattgabriel.blogspot.com/
