Hazel has turned 17! She continues homeschooling, Community College courses & dancing much as before. Over the summer she enrolled at PNCA for a month of full-time art school, culminating in a Graphic Novel project. She's thinking seriously about spending a term studying in Florence.
Marion continues her dancing (including running lost-and-found for Portland tango festivals) and restoring her "little house". She intends to rent it this year and get back to paid work. We went to a couple of out-of-town contra dance weekends and hosted a KGB house concert in our living room!
My cycling added up to 6400 miles this year (best since '95, except for '05 with my coast-to-coast ride) and included 3 trips with my new Bike Friday: 4 days around Palo Alto, a week across Missouri and 24 days in Europe including a bike-barge week from Amsterdam to Bruge. I also had the pleasure of two 2-day, 100+ mile trips with Hazel on the tandem and again enjoyed the week-long Oregon Bike Ride. At Metro I continue volunteering and got a bit of paid work: a major update of the street data behind BikeThere and byCycle.
We'd be very pleased to have you write us (jack, marion and/or hazel) and check out earlier years' photos and news.
