Good to hear from you and glad that you are doing well! Mt Hood is one of my favorite places. I learned to ski there when I was in high school. I just love flying into the Portland Airport as the approach to landing to the west takes you right past the top of Mt. Hood.

You know they filmed "The Shining" in the original Timberline Lodge. It's a great place to stay and the food in the restaurant is wonderful. They have a published cookbook.

I'd post a picture of Mt. Hood that I took when I was over there in June, but I seem to be having problems attaching pictures to my posts.
