Breaking the Silence

No substance here, really. Just wanted to let you know that I'm still here, and reward those who check the blog regularly.

I have been in Washington state for a week on a mission trip to an Indian Reservation in Yakima.

It was great.

We also accidentally stumbled upon the Timberline Lodge on Mount Hood, which was the site of the exterior filming as a stand in for The Overlook hotel in the movie "The Shining." We drove up there just to see the mountain, and when I recognized the hotel, it was like I just accidentally arrived at Santa Claus' house...

The above shot is from "The Shining"...
...and now I'm on the front steps.

Keep checking the blog. I'll be back.

Okay, back to work.
