Are you a skate board or a bill board? Or the board of education?

Here's a plan:

Jog.
Hang around campus area coffee shops.
Check out Smith's Family Bookstore (that should keep you busy for 10 years or so).
Go see cheap movies at Gateway Mall.
Read free books in Borders (less the cost of one latte).
Buy stuff.
Visit a winery for wine tasting and the nice drive there and back.
Try out different restaurants and write snarky reviews online.
Play online games.
Pay bills.
Go see a track meet at Hayward.
Watch shows you recorded from satellite TV.
Meet with friends.
Sleep.
Wake up.

This is my life in Eugene. It works well for me.

I'd definitely recommend against a board moving to Boring, OR.

Or he could board a ship and take a cruise for something to do!

My husband wants to do one of those cruises that you take from Seattle to Alaska and back. Or is it Portland where you pick it up? Wouldn't it be cool to view the northern lights from out in the ocean on a cruise ship?

We moved here from Utah just over a year ago and haven't had a weekend of relaxing yet, lots of kayaking, fishing, hiking, visiting the coast, the casino's, exploring Oregon, volunteering. Granted I can waste a whole weekend watching the waves crash on the beach

That's what we are doing
