Summer thoughts Part II
Hello all! Hope your summer break is going well. I've been biking up a storm lately. Feels really good to be out on the bike. Did the Tour de Blast up in Washington a couple of weeks ago. It was an amazing ride into the blast zone in and around Mt. St. Helens. Here's the link for the ride: www.tourdeblast.com
82 miles of beautiful scenery and great riding. I just watched my first night of Tour de France coverage at a friend's house with cable. I don't know if you've heard, but several top riders are not competing in the tour this year because of allegations of doping. The tour is wide open this year and I believe American rider Floyd Landis will win it.
My reality TV show of the summer is Hell's Kitchen. Check it out on Monday nights on Fox. Good stuff.
As far as the big summer movies, Superman Returns deserves 3 stars out of 5. Pirates 2 earns 2.5 stars. Great twist ending to that movie though. If anyone has 2 tickets to Pearl Jam at the Schnitz and would like to donate or sell them to your favorite history teacher, I would gladly take you up on that.
Okay, stay safe and keep your bikes upright at all times.
Carlisle out.

Hey Carlisle! Hows it going? Im in Cali now, we got here probably 3 weeks ago. And oh my goodness, it is HOT. Today it was 105, but the day we got here I think it was 107. Its crazy.
But we are all moved into our house, and its pretty nice.
Guess what? The school I am going to starts in like 3 weeks. Which totally sucks, but its kind of cool because it gets out in May. Soo hopefully I'll be visiting and will be there for Tigard's Graduation! =]
Anyways, just thought Id say hi. Talk to ya later!

NICOLE, GOOD TO HEAR FROM YOU!!
Good to hear that you are getting settled in your new digs. Hope the rest of your family is doing well. Please inform Aleca that she should shave her head to stave off heat stroke.
Please feel free to keep posting comments on the blog. Keep me updated on your senior year. If need a letter of recommendation, please let me know.
Talk to you later.

What is up Mr. C. The best show of the summer is so you think you can dance, hands down! I had intro last week carlisle and guess what class I am in fall term...psych 204 "mind and society"! I am pretty excited for it. I am also taking an understanding music course which should be very intriguing as well. As far as Pirates goes, the animation/special effects were killer but I must agree that the first was of a higher caliber. Hope your july continues to go well and good luck with the pearl jam tickets.

Hahah, I'll let her know. Don't count on it though. She's going to go up to Oregon to visit in a few weeks and will be there for a while.
Thanks, that means alot. I'll keep you updated. =]
How is your summer going?

Shelton,
The Psych class sounds really interesting. Let me know how it goes.
Have you seen Heart of the Game yet? So You Think You Can Dance is LAME!!! Why do females love dancing so much? My wife likes that show too.
Talk to you later.

Nicole,
My summer is going quite well. What can I say, I love not having to work for 2.5 months. It's the greatest!
Just biking, reading, watching reality TV, going to movies, occasional concerts, and taking some trips here and there.
I'm really stoked b/c we're getting hooked up to DSL next week!! No more dial up. I can't wait!
What's your new town like?

Mike,
Thanks for the kind comment. I liked the humor in Pirates 2, but it just lacked the zing of the first film. Does that make any sense?
Kelsey D,
Good to hear from you. I hope your summer is going well. Hmmmm, who do I think will win Hell's Kitchen?? My first front runner was Heather. But now I think that big goofy guy who's a bartender/cook will win. He's my darkhorse contender.
JESS,
WEAR A HELMET!
2:13 PM
Oh, fun! What concerts have you been going to?
Any luck with Pearl Jam tickets?
The town I live in is pretty small. Its in the Mojave Desert, so theres not much green. Its mostly brown and yellow. Its grown a lot since I was here last, but its still small. Definately smaller than Tigard. But I think like that its small.
As the people and like comunity goes, its kind of become more like LA, but probably not THAT bad.
Im definately missing Oregon though, and the rain!

Nicole,
It's going to be 105 degrees here on Saturday!! It's going to be like the Mojave Desert here.
I'm rafting on the Clackamas on Sunday. Looking forward to some cool water.
