Chasing the Day

About Me

These are the times when people are put in situations that call for a bit of improvisation. We are pretty sure that is what led to the invention of roller skis, roller blades, and the music of Yanni. It seems that the best invention is what people need next in their lives. So for us, Chasing the Day is all about moving forward while continuing to be original.CtD just moved to the land of a thousand hippies; and by that we mean Portland. And yes, we do continue to celebrate each and every day when it actually doesnt rain in Portland. They say this weather lasts only until the end of September. We'll see about that one.So sit back and enjoy(P.S. Please leave us a message; even hippies are welcome :) )
