The Fly Girlz are 12 year olds from Brooklyn. They've been on Morning Edition and were part of the Endangered Music Project.
After recovering from an evil flu virus (not swine), I am now enjoying the lovely Portland weather in the parks and at the coast with friends. I took a day trip to Cape Lookout and had ice cream at the Tillamook Factory. And of course I've been hanging out at Laurelhurst Park with some Cook's and OJ.

Mimosas in Laurelhurst 2008After finishing my personal yoga challenge, my yoga studio put on an official one: 20 classes in the month of April. I finished the last class on April 30 in an 110 degree room with sweat and tears dripping down my face. For this amazing physical feat, I was the winner of a t-shirt and inner peace.
Garrett just returned from a trip to Birmingham. I will let him tell you about it and about his first day of Culinary School (which starts tomorrow)! I can't wait for the gourmet meals to start rolling in.
Teaching is going great. We recently had a May Faire, complete with a May pole, juggler, kid's band, balloon artist, face painting, and puppet show. It went swimmingly, and the everyone had a great time. We also had an art opening at New Seasons on Saturday. The kids were so excited to see their canvases on the wall with photos and bios. I am so thankful for my job and the wonderful people I work with. Now if I could just get the Alligator Song out of my head.

Speaking of music, I recently got to see some old friends and some great music at the Doug Fir. Check out their new albums, they are good.
