Semi-Off the Grid

Studing at IKE Box so long ago
...sipping on a delicious blended dirty chai :-)

Yesterday was my first day without internet since I was in my early teens. I'm not counting going camping and being voluntarily cut off and away from all things technology, including cell phone reception. It was kind of liberating. I started reading again, which I haven't done in over two years; I have a lot of books to catch up on.

More application fun was had today. I ventured to the local coffee shop, IKE Box, and applied until they closed early for a private event. I'm a fan of everything there, with their iced tea with lavender syrup being my favorite. They're a coffee shop with a mission! Their overall "quest" is to help the youth of today be inspired for greatness. Pretty cool overall company/place.

I love that Oregon is so coffee friendly. Lots of places to choose from, hardly any are disappointing.
