Doodle 4 Google

We just learned Delaney was one of only 2 state finalists in the Doodle 4 Google art contest. She created a piece of artwork using the word "Google" to answer the question "If I Could Do Anything I Would…"? She was one of only 400 winners picked from over 33,000 entries across the United States.

Shama Lama Ding Dong at Dexter Lake

Our friends the Sprague family hosted us to a fun night boating on Dexter Lake last weekend.

(The Dexter Lake Club next to where we put the boat in was the setting for bar scene in the 1978 comedy "National Lampoon's Animal House" where Otis Day and the Knights play Shama Lama Ding Dong.)

Ron on the helm drug everybody who wanted to go behind the boat on a cool high tech inner tube. I have never heard the kids scream that load before. "A LITTLE BIT LOUDER NOW, a little bit softer now . . . . "

Have a look.

A visit to the Skinner Butte Eagles

Delaney had the school day off last week, so we drove up to the butte in Eugene to have a look at the Bald Eagle family that live on the north side of the downtown vista. Be sure and check out a video I did for the Register-Guard that also published on the web this week.

I am excited to announce the launch of my new website: ChrisPietschMedia.com. It took a little doing but with the help of ModX expert and colleague Ian Doremus I was able to create a site capable of hosting all of my eclectic multimedia interests.
