Portland Bridge Pedal 2024

As of last year, I had done all of the routes for Bridge Pedal. What’s left to do? How about another go-around?

Pacific City 2024

The Hills got together over the fourth of July at Pacific City to enjoy fireworks and family time. We had two beach houses and one was oceanfront. The weather couldn’t have been better for beautiful sunsets and amazing views of the Milky Way.

Marrying Jenni in Stardew Valley

One of the kids’ favorite games, Stardew Valley, got an update that allowed 8 players to cooperate in one game. Jenni and I joined our kids’ existing farm since they are multimillionaires and toured each of their mansions.

However, when Jenni and I were caught snogging in the game, the kids decided that we needed to get married so that we could be an official in-game couple.

They orchestrated a waterfall location for the proposal, provided the wedding ring, got us a tuxedo and wedding dress, and upgraded my trailer home to a log cabin.

It was fun letting them take care of us while Jenni and I childishly flirted.

Though there were some repeats from past years, there were still plenty of new creations to admire and marvel at. It seemed like more builders are incorporating lights into their builds.

Portland Winter Light Festival 2024

I’m grateful for my city who puts on a light festival in the darkest of winter. It lights up my creativity and I love seeing the art people crafted with light.

I visited the World Trade Center hub for an hour downtown and was greeted with colorful sea creatures, pulsing interactive displays, and a cheerfully illuminated crowd to celebrate with.

Illuminated Bike Ride

Ever since the first Portland Winter Light Festival that I learned they had an illuminated bike ride, it was on my list to do.

After years of poor weather or scheduling conflicts, I finally joined fellow wheeled enthusiasts who decorated their wheels with vivid creativity.

My bike was already strapped with multiple lights to help with winter visibility for my commute, but I added a RGB photography LED to my handlebar and strapped a bubble machine to the rear rack.
