Work has kept me unusually busy over the past few weeks and hence am unable to update the blog regularly. So christmas is here, and as there is festive fervor everywhere. Shopping malls have become human zoos virtually :). Am going to find some respite in the cascade mountain ranges. Specifically will be skiing in the Mt.Bachelor and if possible will take a hike down the three sisters and the broken top. So heres wishing everyone a merry christmas and a great holiday weekend.
