Vancouver BC

Eric and I went up to Vancouver to meet with some of his friends, and get away for a while. The camera didn't come out much, so this is basically the only picture I got, but it's pretty...

The birth of a hole

Now that the house is down, the hole is being dug for the basement. It is one big hole.

The well

The foreman, or so he thought.

Eric's place: the beginning

This is the beginning (as far as I saw it, poor Eric had a year into this already) of the process to build Eric's dream home. The house on the lot was, according to the inspector, asbestos and mold held together by lead paint. yippie

The walls were black inside.

But, 2 acres

with the most amazing (admittedly overgrown) berries including raspberries, boysenberries, and cascade blackberries. yummmm

And a view that can't be beat

Summer Classes

With the whole buying of a house thing, working in the summer became rather important.

I taught 2 classes, one at PCC and one at the University of Portland.

This is my PCC 101 class. This was a condensed version, 6 hours a day of biology. these guys did amazingly well.

This is my Env Sci 182 at UP.

These poor guys had 3.5 hours of lecture, in a dark, basement room. They made it though

And now Im free! until fall quarter starts again
