On the road to Forks

We decided to stop and enjoy the view and the quiet on the drive from
Port Angeles to Forks. This is a large peaceful lake in a national
forest along the road.

On the ferry

As part of our get away we are riding the ferry from Edmonds to
Kingston. It is a beautiful day for a drive - boat ride. Too bad they
are predicting rain for the rest of the weekend.

Tim wins an award

Last night Cindy and I got to attend the Special Invention Awards
ceremony from my company. It was a hosted bar, then a great dinner
(salmon and a steak filet), and then the ceremony. There 14 "teams"
awarded. My team was just me.

Now Cindy and I are off on a weekend getaway. More on that later.

Fall colors

Fall is here. The kids are back in school, the leaves are changing,
and it is the anniversary of "9-11" again. Okay, maybe that last
doesn't belong. Fall has always been my favorite time of the year.

Just out on a walk at lunch. Boy do I need the exercise! My wife is
going to the gym regularly now so before long she is going to be trim
and buff, and I will still be the fat slob I am now. So time for me to
start exercising more.
