It seems I’m only doing year end posts now. I’m not happy about this. If I wanted to do it more, I’d do it more. So let do it more!\nIn April of 2017 I went to the CoCoFest in Chicago. I met with my many wonderful friends. Learned a lot of new things. One thing I did different this year is I got a late flight out Monday, around 5 PM. After checking out of the hotel I took a cab to downtown Chicago and spent some time sight-seeing. It was really fun and decided to do it again in 2018. Although in 2018 I think I’ll head straight to a museum. Spend the whole day in there.\nIn early July I flew to Oregon and spent a week with my sister in Sun River. A lovely place to rent cabins and go to the nearby waterpark. We also went to an Observatory, where I saw the rings of Saturn for the first time. My Uncle Mel also joined us for the trip and he made the whole thing 200% more fun. The lava cast forrest also deserves a mention as a really neat place to visit.\nIn late July I had a week of hell, also known as the best week ever. On Thursday, July 26 I went into The City to watch a live Mystery Science Theatre 3000 show (Movie: Eegah). Then the next day I went back for a second show (Movie: Argoman the Fantastic Superman). Then the next day I went back for an OMD show. They played some fantastic new stuff from their recently released album. Then the next day I flew to Los Angeles and saw OMD again with 5 other 80s bands. Then the next day, Sunday, my daughter (Megan) and I went to Universal Studios. Whew!\nIn November the Wine Country Fires took my brother’s home. He and his family then moved to Portland. Bummer for me, good for my sister.\nIn December I flew to England to spend time with my other daughter (Bethany). We made our way to Garmisch Germany. We stayed at a nice hotel, spa. Visited the Linderhoff Palace. And toured a microbrew; Griesbr\u00e4u Zu Murnau. In German it was nicely covered in snow, very beautiful.\nIn late December my boss of many, many years decided to up and move to Oregon. And I also signed up for Tinder.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
