Jeff & Cathy
They came with me and Dieter to a Storm game. :)

Doppler
Sad name for a mascot, but a fun mascot regardless. Seen here harassing the crowd with a can of silly string. :)

Me and Dieter
Self portrait!

Girls Can Play Ball Too!
These women rocked! Quite impressive!

Check out the tall girl!
I think they said she was 6'8" or something crazy!

Femme Mullet
I should have known I'd see a good mullet... there's one in every crowd.

Portland, Oregon

Rose Garden and Mt. Hood
I forgot to take pictures in Portland when I was there for the conference, but these online pics I found show you some of the good parts. :)

Portland State University and The Market
Our conference was at PSU... what a great, generous campus!

Portland's Pioneer Square
My first night in town, I met up with my friend Alan (and his friend Margaret) in Pioneer Square. We went to eat fabulous Cuban food at Pambiche. Yum! The second night I met up with my friend Robin, and she, Cara, and I went back to Pambiche for more Cuban food. Yum yum! It was nice to see both of them! I'd met Alan at a conference in Oklahoma last year, and met Robin at a wedding in WI last February. Nice to be able to reconnect with folks!

Look at that gorgeous tomato!
Picking it off the vine is fun!

And I have another tiny one growing too!
Yeah!
