Oregon, breathe on

Smell that? Taste that?

You don't?

Me neither!!! That's the un-smelly, un-smokey flavor of ALL of Oregons restaurants and bars as of January 1st. As someone who cannot stand coming home after an otherwise lovely night out, smelling like an ashtray, I couldn't be happier about this NO SMOKING law taking effect.

Rock on healthy lungs!

And, in other good news, laws will also take effect that put a 5 cent bottle deposit on all plastic water and flavored water bottles, and you can now recycle all TVs and computers at Oregon recycling stations for free!

Oregon, I love you and all your forward-thinking citizens!

hello

I feel strangely at peace on this new morning. I can feel the year ahead of me...open and fresh with new paths and opportunities, and challenges too. I'm eager to embrace it all and enjoy the ride.

Of course, it helps a little to have a sneak peek of what's in store...


We're so excited!!!
