Summer News

Let's see, in the last month, Mom and Elroy have visited, Will's mom and step dad visited, and Jen is currently living with us while she finds an apartment. So, visits alone have kept us fairly busy, but it has been so much fun to see everyone!

In other news, I found a job for this summer in Seattle. I will be a Jr. Scientist for Prometheus Energy in South Seattle. The company takes waste methane gas, such as is found in landfills and abandoned wells, and converts it into useful liquid natural gas which can be used in place of diesel if the vehicle is converted. I will be working on something related I think. I am very excited about all of this for lots of reasons, but a big reason is the fact that I will get to be a part of a company that is actually DOING something to help the environment in a meaningful, tangible way. Not only is this energy source renewable, but in making it, it actually helps reduce pollution because it is made from pollution. Also, I will be using my physics and math skills. So. Very exciting.

It has also come to my attention that I need to start training for the Marine Corps Marathon (October 29th) very soon. The first week of May. I mean, I already run pretty regularly, but that is when I HAVE to run. Also need to be training for the Epic around Mt. Hood anyway.
