The holy whatever

You know I believe our creator is genderless. When I meet it, I think my masculinity will be judged against will be that which is Chris Massey.

Quick Note

Apparently, Shannon and I were on the food network last night. In case anyone wonders, I think Ms. Ray has a case of snatchitis.

Upon returning to Portland, I have found my allergies were here, waiting for me. That and for some reason I cannot see to sleep enough. This was affecting me when me left and has got me a bit worried for my health. When you're known to suffer from insomnia and suddenly you find 12 hours a day to be inadequate sleep, it might be indicative of a problem. I'll hit the doctor soonish.

Work is as work was. Plenty to do and not enough time to do it.... Just the way I like it.

I miss Montana. My goal for when I'm 40 (if you don't know, you don't kow me well enough to ask :) seems too far away at this point. Every day I wonder if now isn't the time.

We're back

Well, the fun is over. We had a wonderful trip, a great wedding, an abundance of the one thing we both love the most... time with each other alone.

Thanks to everyone who came out to help and share the day with us.

I would also like to thank:

The Montana Dept. Of Transportation and the people of Montana - For making great roads, having a speed limit that makes sense, having self serve gas, being VERY friendly, and just generally having a kick ass state. Special thanks to the folks in Sidney and Fairview. Oh, and BIG thanks to the Best Western in Miles City for having ONE hotel room left when I had driven WAY to far in one day

The Bridge Street Inn in Baker City Oregon - For being a GREAT bargain and a nice place to stay

Shannons Family (including Kim and Anya) - For being extremely gracious hosts, as always. You're all welcome out here any time.

Lipton Unsweetened Ice Tea - For keeping me refreshed

The Berry's - For a fun day on the river

Raymond - The dude we spent a few hours chatting with outside the hotel in Boman, ND. Hope life keeps treating you well.

Target - For making a great 5 dollar atlas


Pans for the trip?


Idaho. Yes, the whole state. There are beautiful spots, but the people are weird.

Yellowstone. Again, beautiful spots... but kind of a let down after glacier last year.

Montana HWY 200 - Just don't. Ever. There's just no god damn reason to be on that road ever.

More later, gotta go hack down the yard

The North Dakota Wedding Odyssey Part 7

Yellowstone was a bit anti-climatic, but we had fun anyway. Bear tooth pass RULES!!!

By the way, I rode my first hardtail last week. I was thinking about a Ducati Monster (dark) for my next bike, but I am seriously thinking about some old school Harley steel. It felt, really, really, good. Rob, your bike kicks ass.

Oh and Eastern Idaho, specifically Rexburg and St. Anthony, sucks dirty cow ass.
