While the rest of Americans were out doing responsible things this Saturday (such as finishing sermons that must be given on Sunday morning) we took the twins and our three nephews to Timberline Lodge at Mt. Hood for lunch and to play in the snow. A good time was had by all. The only down side: global warming is melting off the glaciers. Unless we do something soon when our kids are ready to take their children to Mt. Hood they're won't be much of any snow left during the summer (maybe even during the winter). The fact is that when I was a kid and moved here in 1979 the glaciers were much bigger. Another reason to elect leaders who care about such things.
