This is where you'll find stuff that's probably far more interesting than anything on the rest of the site, because somebody else is providing the content.  I'll try to continue to update this as I find something worth sharing.

See Pictures of:  The 2002 Canyon Cougars of 65 Reunion  along with other stuff Garr and Linda Lystad have to share on their web pages, some of it very eclectic.

This reunion was the result of the efforts of Steve Mathias and other classmates that were reunited through email and the wonders of Internet search engines and web pages.  Many in the group of nine who met in September 2002 in Poulsbo (at our home) had not seen one another since the about 1965.  The pictures on Garr Lystad's web site (Thank You again, Garr!) speak for themselves.

Golf-Related Sites   

Bad Golf  The place to go if you, like me, are a true hacker and need a place to commiserated with other bad golfers.

Golf Handicaps This is where you can find out the true golf handicap of anybody who maintains a legitimate handicap.  You just need their name and state. 

Book 4 Golf  This is one of the sites that will allow you to book tee times on-line.

Humor-Related Sites

Michael Moore I'm not a fan of Michael's politics, in general, but I still think he's pretty funny and his targets deserve his shots.

Geek Destinations

Leo Laporte  This is a link to Leoville, Leo's personal web page.  Leo is my computer guru.  I've learned much of what I know about computers through his radio and TV shows.  He manages to be honest, entertaining and still educational.  Even barbara likes him, though she's not anything close to a geek.

The Screen Savers  This is Leo Laporte's TV show on the Tech TV network.  Actually, most of Tech TV is worth watching if you share my geek leanings, but The Screen savers is the best of the bunch.  This site is linked to all the other Tech TV sites and is a wealth of useful information.  They provide probably the most reliable advice on computer hardware and software, including where to get the best prices and what's worth buying.

Kim Komando  I know this sounds like a lame superhero name, but it's the real name of a female computer writer with a radio show on computers.  Although she's not as entertaining as Leo Laporte, she's better looking.  Most radio stations who broadcast her show do so on Saturday mornings.  Her show and web site are very helpful.

Crucial Technologies  This is the place to go for computer memory.  I suspect you might occasionally find memory cheaper at places like Circuit City, this seems to be a consistently good place to get it cheap and quick.  I have had excellent luck with them.  They also make it very easy to figure out exactly what you need to upgrade your particular computer.

Services

Contra Costa County's  This is a link to the web site of a friend, Pete Torrey, who sold our last two houses and who is demonstrably the finest Realtor in Contra Costa County (you can only cover so much territory, Pete).  If you're selling or buying real estate in CCC, you can't possibly do better than to go with Pete.

Portland's Best Realtor  While he is also my cousin, that doesn't change the fact that Harley Brooks and his wife Vickie are one dynamite team.  They are long-time real estate professionals of high integrity who I trust implicitly and give my unqualified recommendation. If you're selling or buying real estate in Portland, see them first.
