Corvallis, Oregon fireworks
Fireworks + slow shutter speed = neat effects. Here a few photographs of fireworks taken from two undisclosed locations here in Corvallis, Oregon…
Cotter Elementary
It took about an hour for me to get to school in the mid 80’s. The bus was on gravel roads for the majority of the trip. Cotter Elementary was where the country kids went to elementary school. I remember milk breaks, nap time, music programs in the gymnasium, and running around the expansive grassy area that surrounded the school.
Bone Voyage
Some of you know that I used to play the trombone in high school and in college. Many of you were not aware of this particular facet of my persona.
One of my favorite trombone-based albums is the obscure and amazingly-named “Bone Voyage” by the Airmen of Note. Bone Voyage features some of the craziest jazz trombone recordings that I have ever heard. They must have had some well developed embouchures.
The entire album is available online and it’s been converted from the original LP into 64 kbps MP3 format.

Top secret
Corvallis housing market
Wendy and I are ready to move out of our current apartment. Unfortunately, we can’t afford to look at houses in Corvallis. The prices are too spendy for us at the moment. Please consider this post a plea for any information regarding the whereabouts of a decent, not too expensive Corvallis apartment.
New job
Hooray! I have a new job. Starting on June 14th, I will be the new Academic Advisor for OSU’s College of Health and Human Sciences.
- Job Searching = Countless hours of searching, writing, calling, meeting, etc.
- Interviews = 5
- Resumes/Cover Letters = A lot
- Finding a position where you get to connect with students and work with a great staff = priceless!
Birthday
They say it’s your birthday. Da na na nah na na nah….well, almost.
Tomorrow is my birthday! Woohoo!
I’m sorry my blog has been so quiet lately. Consulting has me rather jammed at the moment.
Lastly, tomorrow is my birthday. I will be wearing my new grey suit and interviewing for a job with an office. Wish me luck! I’m ready to be around people during the day….
Oh and one last thing…if you know how old I’m going to be, please do not include my age in any comments. I’d rather keep my birth-year a secret from the identity collectors. Thanks.
