Obama in Oregon!

It's an Obama frenzy with his speech yesterday about race and the news today that he's coming to Oregon. There are events in Portland and cities to the south and I'm going to be able to attend as I head over to the west side of the state to visit Serena. Received my event ticket today. :)

There is much to be said about the presidential race, topics I will save for another day, but one is the possibility of having a president who inspires people. It's been nearly eight years with a president unable to speak articulately, evoke inspiration, or even use words correctly. All policy aside, it is a refreshing prospect to have a president who can do one of his most important jobs: speak.

That in mind, enjoy:

Banana Belt Part Deux

We're off to Portland this morning for another bike race, the third and final leg of the Banana Belt series. Serena's coming up from Corvallis and we're planning a have a merry ole time. Wish me luck, aka think of me in spandex, on Sunday at noon (3pm Eastern)!
