Ruminations of an ex-Oregonian

Well, I’ve decided to start a blog. Having never done a blog before, I’m sure it
will be an interesting and enlightening experience.

I suppose I ought to clarify my blog title. I lived in Oregon
from the time I was 3 until last year, with a 2 year hiatus to Australia. Oregon
is a great state, but in recent years seems to be heading in the wrong
direction. Lately, it seems to be very
anti-business, and going in moral directions that I personally oppose.

When my wife and I decided to leave and seek our fortunes
elsewhere, we looked at Idaho,
liked it and moved. It’s the best thing
we’ve ever done. We decided to start
fresh. The results are great. My daughters are in good schools with great
teachers, my son is doing very well, our neighbors are good people, and we are
active in our church again.

I tend to think a lot about a large variety of things, not
very often coming up with something profound, but certainly putting my own
angle on them. Politics, religion,
computers, music, raising kids, etc. There’s
a lot to think about and I seem to spend a lot of time doing it.

Thus, Ruminations of an ex-Oregonian. Enjoy!
