Life's a Beach

Finally we caught a break. The sun popped out Thursday afternoon and we made a run for the far northwest corner of Oregon, the south jetty at Fort Stevens State Park. Got some serious walking in there and at the Astoria Column, with its 168 steps to the top of the wind-swept tower. Good exercise. Not aerobics, but activity. And perhaps enough to send the body springtime grow signals.

Walking on the beach, we soaked in the power of the waves. The Pacific is the world's largest and most powerful ocean. I'll use that power to fuel my campaign to continue Younger Next Year through to a bachelor's degree in 2013. Then I'll amp up the program, if at all possible, to pursue a Gray Seals master's degree.
