PORTLAND TO DENVER

Friday, December 31st, 2004

Our plane was 15 minutes late arriving to the gate, so we got a late start. That was a good thing, because Laura was late getting through security. We boarded and took off quickly. I looked out the window and saw a beautiful sky. The colors were rich. ...

NIGHT LIGHTS IN LAKE OSWEGO
