Cory in Oregon: March 2010
http://oregontooregon.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 11, 2010. Day 5 (Feb 19). Scott and Carrie left part way through to catch a bus up to Whistler to watch the Skeleton. As the games progressed, China defeated Denmark 11-1 in a shortened match. They ruled the ice. Great Britain defeated Germany with 3 points in the 9th end, and the US -Russia match came down to the last throw. The crowd erupted when it left the skip's hand. We watched some skeleton and then decided to walk to the library and wait for Daimon and Kirsten to come downtown.

Cory in Oregon: April 2010
http://oregontooregon.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 25, 2010. Final Day at the Olympics. As we walked through the gates, there was a group from Sweden in front of us that all went through but one man. His ticket did not check out. The ticket taker told him that the ticket purchased was for an event held in the next couple of days. The supervisor came over, and let the man join his party for the event. Man, I love Canadians. We walked into the venue, welcomed by sunshine and a crowd. We found a spot on a slope overlooking the stadium. Friends...

Cory in Oregon: June 2010
http://oregontooregon.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 30, 2010. Sunday, June 6, 2010. Last weekend I decided to do the American thing and go camping on Memorial day weekend. I debated going Friday night or Saturday night, but my want to buy a new bike and to play frisbee won. On Saturday morning I went downtown McMinnville. I drove to the trail head and filled water bottles and geared up my pack for Elk Mountian and King Mountain loop. I left the parking lot behind a group of 3 hikers as well as with a man and his two dogs. I was by myself h...

Cory in Oregon: July 2011
http://oregontooregon.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Saturday, July 30, 2011. My heart surgery- July 5-July 12. I then called some friends and was able to go out to a local pub to eat and have distracting conversations. I was told that it was normal, but my ventricle was trying to beat independently of the rest of my heart. It was used to such efficiency. Here is the scar 3 weeks after surgery. Check out how high I can raise those arms! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I am a science teacher at Mcminnville High School. View my complete profile. Summer 2011 - LA.

Cory in Oregon: September 2010
http://oregontooregon.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 6, 2010. That night after a delicious chili, we relaxed playing cards and watched a bear across the river catch a fish. We then packed and took it easy on the way out. It was a great trip on the river with no hiccups. The group was close, the food and drinks were incredible and the water treated us right. It was a very laid back crew and trip.

Cory in Oregon: Mt. Hood Attempt
http://oregontooregon.blogspot.com/2012/05/mt-hood-attempt.html
Monday, May 21, 2012. It all began in graduate school, in the year 2007. My friend Ryan asked me if I would ever like to climb Mt. Hood. I told him in as reserved a shout as possible, "YES! It is something I set my sights on since I moved to Oregon. What things lay in the way? We both changed into our climbing clothes, except the outer layers. Ryan brought a sleeping bag for himself, and I had brought a pillow. We set our phone alarms for midnight, and no sooner had my head hit the pillow, than i...I don...

Cory in Oregon: It's been a while
http://oregontooregon.blogspot.com/2012/03/its-been-while.html
Tuesday, March 27, 2012. It's been a while. Since I have updated last, I have traveled to the east coast a couple of times, ran in a race, had two flat tires on Martin Luther King Jr. Day again, went backpacking, took second in city league volleyball, traveled to Montana, found a sloth tooth on my birthday, visited all of my family, except my sister, and played music in public. Happy birthday to me! I also went to the Franklin Institute and viewed a mummies exhibit and a CSI exhibit. I then traveled to t...

Cory in Oregon: September 2013
http://oregontooregon.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 24, 2013. Photo of me at 20. Tomorrow I turn 30 years old. This seems crazy to me in someways, and perfectly mundane in others. I think that if you asked 10 year old, and 20 year old me what I would have accomplished and/or where I would be at 30, those answers would be very different from each other, and what actually happened. 30 things that have happened to me so far in life that are noteworthy/unbelievable/or would have impressed 15 year old me:. 4 I have survived open heart surgery.
