Huzzah--we're now in the 14th year of the web site. Hard to believe that we've been continuously publishing for 14 years in internet time--that's like 100 years in real time. Okay, it's really like 14 years in real time, but given how much has changed on the interwebz, it's quite a feat. Enough self congratulation. On to business.
Two more weeks of school and then freedom to go to bed late and sleep late and watch movies and just generally hang out. We went to Victoria, British Columbia, Canada last week over memorial day. We went for a bar mitzvah and a bunch of parties and gatherings. We liked the hotel okay, but we prefer separate beds--it's always nice to get home after a trip.

Even though it isn't my real birthday yet, because I have a summer birthday, I got to bring in birthday cupcakes for the class. This batch we made to look like apples.
Mmmmm, cake.
They just looked like apples. They were really yellow cake with red frosting and sour patch leaves.
We took the longest ferry ride we've ever been on. It was 3 hours from Anacortes to Sidney, British Columbia. We had ipod games and food and not so comfy chairs, but we made it, and the customs guys even let us in the country.
The next day we decided to take a hike up a mountain, at least what passes for a mountain in Victoria. Noah had the good idea (which didn't seem so good at the time) to follow an 8 inch wide deer path up the mountain--it really was a 750 foot hill, but we'll just call it a mountain for excitement's sake.
Nothing like being out in nature to improve our dispositions.
The higher we got the more water and scenery we saw.
At last we got to the top and there to greet us was a huge TV/Cell tower.
Then we moved over to the real top of the hill where they had this turret thing that showed the direction and how for away were cities as the crow flies.
Below is the entire panorama from our view point. It was pretty impressive, especially when you consider that we had to slog all the way up to the top.
