If you're reading this, you have too much time on your hands.
...and I've already been called by the office a few times. Why do I bother?
Anyway, I'm in Salem as we speak. We're planning on heading over to Newport tomorrow for the next couple nights. We originally planning on driving from Bend straight to Newport tomorrow, and then we realized that the Sisters Quilt Show was going on tomorrow. We realized it would be worth paying the extra money than to try to avoid that mess tomorrow (and yes, we do know the back roads around Sisters, it's still worth the money).
I'll be back in town on Monday, and will be taking Tuesday off as well, as I have a bunch of vacation time just sitting there going unused (though I always do regret going back to the office after days off as I just get more and more behind). I probably won't have email/phone over on the coast as my cell phone doesn't work where we stay in Newport (tragic, isn't it?), so if it's an emergency, tough crap -- it'll have to wait until Monday night.
