It’s been a lazy summer week, so I’ve been lazy. Think I’m still basking in the glow of finally getting the new web site up. It’s not done, but that hurdle is over. We all need to celebrate our successes.
I think that is exactly what baby Mountain Goat Parkour at the Oregon Zoo is doing. She’s learned how to climb and she keeps practicing. Mountain Goat cross training, for real.
Wish I had her energy!
Have a great safe, weekend and stay cool! Happy Quirky Friday!
And on the twenty-eighth day, there was a new web site! Sweet jumping grapefruit it’s been a journey. Since last we chatted, I had the blog moved to a new self-hosted web site, changed the design theme and all was right with the world. @#$%
Hopefully, my fabulous readers, you are still with me – they promised you would come with me. This is a test of that promise. Given my hate-hate relationship with tech and my fabulous Happiness Engineer, things were going well until they went sideways.
If you find broken links, I don’t have a clue how to fix them, but I will try. There will be more tweaks along the way, so buckle up. Next time I undertake this mission, I’m hiring Navy SEALs!
But back at the Oregon Zoo, goats Ruth and Sonia have been bravely going on their rounds. This one seemed so appropriate to re-christen the blog.
Hope you had a Happy Fourth of July! Have a great, safe, weekend and Happy Quirky Friday!

Been a busy week but I know I’ve accomplished a lot. From getting stuff out of the house and donated to attacking technology challenges, progress feels liberating. The projects continue, but I’m pretty proud of myself.
Learning new things is always good and this baby mountain goat at the Oregon Zoo is no exception. Climbing rocks is a new sport for him too. His celebration at the end of the video sums up my week. Rock on!
Have a great safe weekend and Happy Quirky Friday!

What could go wrong? The folks at the Oregon Zoo have been taking the kids for walks, goat kids, to get their exercise. One recent foray was to see the porcupine. The kids were very impressed. Stopped stock still for once.
The baby goat is Ruth, named for Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and is definitely the more adventuresome of the pair, following in the footsteps of her namesake. Sonia is getting used to her long legs for rock climbing.
Have a great safe weekend and Happy Quirky Friday!

This week I decided to take a break from the tv news. I still have the newspaper and online, but I wanted a mind recess. Seems like Takoda might have been thinking the same thing when he took off up a tree at the Oregon Zoo.
Actually, he’s after tasty snacks. I can relate. But fifty feet up a tree? I’m not built for that. So if life gets crazier than it already is, go climb a tree! But pack your own goodies.
Have a great, safe weekend and Happy Quirky Friday!
P.S. Hugs to all the folks on the Big Island and Kauai.

We’ve been blessed with some sun recently and us Oregonians know how to party when the rays appear. Even our Oregon Zoo elephants get in on the fun.
Sam is enjoying the great weather a couple days ago by playing in the pool.
Have a great, safe weekend and Happy Quirky Friday!
