Big Reveal of the Day: After 25 years, Simpsons creator Matt Groening spills the beans on Springfield: “Springfield was named after Springfield, Oregon. The only reason is that when I was a kid, the TV show Father Knows Best took place in the town of Springfield, and I was thrilled because I imagined that it was the town next to Portland, my hometown. When I grew up, I realized it was just a fictitious name. I also figured out that Springfield was one of the most common names for a city in the U.S. In anticipation of the success of the show, I thought, ‘This will be cool; everyone will think it’s their Springfield.’ And they do.”

I love sunny days! (It’s still 70F out - almost swimsuit weather! :P)
A photo from my hike (it was more rock climbing than hiking, actually) the other day. It was a beautiful day and an extremely fun four hours! :) We even saw a bear cub!
PLEASE STOP AND READ THIS
IT’S AN EMERGENCY
This is my mom, Lori Rombold. She’s been missing since Tuesday (4-3-12) from SPRINGFIELD, OREGON.
My family and I have reason to believe that she may have harmed herself, or attempted to harm herself, or is going to harm herself. She’s incredibly suicidal and off her medication.
The last anyone heard from her she was going to try and head to PRINEVILLE, OREGON. She’s driving a green Mazda Protege, the letters on the license plate being “YFH” and I can’t remember the numbers.
If you see her PLEASE immediately call the LANE COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE in EUGENE/SPRINGFIELD.
Please, help spread the word if you can. I’m really scared for her. I really want her to come home. I want to find her alive.
Please, I don’t know what else to do.
Signal Boost!
Amazing way to start the day (and I ate breakfast before this, too)!
On my agenda today are a hike for a few hours and then an employee dinner! (I’m hoping the hiking negates the delicious food that will be jumping into my belly :P )
