Hi, friends,

Did you lend Ernie stuff, that you want to get back eventually?

As Ernie’s belongings are now somewhat neatly sorted, this would be an especially good time to stop by and reclaim your videos, books, CD players, Cob goddesses, and other beautiful and much-appreciated items. Call Ernie at 503-234-7962 to set up a time to get your stuff. Or tell him it’s his for keeps.

General Update: Guillermo and Jodie are home again from Vancouver Island, to keep Ernie company. (and to motivate said sorting and neatness...) Ernie is leaving Sunday, to spend a week with his friends Chip and Clara from the Homestead. Wish him luck as he attempts to be useful without falling over. He’ll be back around Sept. 8th.

Ernie’s leg is looking steadily better... the skin is healing, all but a little area around the ankle that keeps breaking open and then scabbing over. The bones still aren’t healed up; next appointment with the bone-doctors is Sept. 20th.

Big thanks to everybody who came and bought food and made donations at the Laughing Planet on Tuesday – it was a very successful night.

Keep in touch!

-Erica
