Last weekend I met a beautiful lady named Prieta,   I was walking around Stevenson Wa, a small town in the gorge where my dad lives, also 2hrs from home. I stopped by a coffee shop and Prieta started talking to me, she said she liked my necklace, after talking for a while she exclaimed, "I met you when you were 10!" It turns out Prieta knew my mom and dad. My dad likes to talk a lot,   its no surprise to me someone knew him in this small town. My original plan was to walk around the town and drive home, but after meeting such a lovely women I hung out with her and her friend all evening and late into the night. I even invited my dad telling him to put on a clean shirt and to bring his "A game," for such foxy ladies.

I work with the best people, since both Rolland and Marv's spouses were busy, they got to come out! Had fun dancing, skating and watching the street performers, only fell once while attempting to jump rope with my skates on.

 Kelli and I went on this amazing run, I can't even explain the entirety of its awesomeness, actually I tried to with one of my friends, and he said I made the experience sound terrible. Its essentially a beer scavenger hunt, the masses running in all different directions looking for clues in the form of chalk or flour on the sidewalk. You will run into boob and "wank" checks which involves flashing, and in this group I appreciate how its really no big deal....I still haven't felt the want to do it myself. All the regulars have vulgar names, and I love it, names like crusty mangina, busta himen, and stink finger. At the end everyone gets together and talks about all the shenanigans that happened on the run, and  the person deemed the biggest idiot gets to carry and drink out of a plunger for the next run. There are a lot of songs sung, it reminds me of being at church camp, but instead of singing about Jesus we sing about "your mom", and your mom's vagina.

All the newbies get to wear this, I was a little embarrassed until I saw the back....

At Sunday Parkways where Illona and I accidentally skated for 8 miles.  We knew that there was a loop...we realized an hour in that the loop was longer than expected.

Sunday Parkways is once a month, where 8 miles of road is blocked off for bicycle and skating fun. The 8 miles leads to multiple parks that contain venders, a rock wall and acrobats.



And apparently a makeshift religious area

I am very honored people let me into their homes, this is Alice one of my friend Tom's couchsurfers, she is from France. Alice, Tom, and I made a meal together, and to me that = true friendship

Cinco De Mayo +

Ok so this is how the day went... but in reverse 

I was very proud of myself for getting into bed at a decent hour. A friend messaged me to get some beers, but I graciously declined stating I was already in bed and footie pajamaed up.
