It's official! We're moving back to the Willamette valley in Oregon this spring. My company has asked me to be the lead guy in starting up a new integrated circuit fab. It's a small fab so hopefully I'll have more time off. I don't think it's possible to have less time off. In December I'll log 260 hours. November I logged 250 hours. These were my slow months.

So we're packing up the bags and putting the house on the market. Looks like I'll once again be moving some unfinished wood working projects.

We'll be leaving behind the wonderful SW indian culture (and that darned black widow that bit my leg) and will be returning to the NW cultures (and banana slugs).

Hope to see all you North Westerners in the near future.

Roger and family
