On the heels of that post and in a different spirit, I also want to say that I’m thoroughly enjoying this trip to Portland with some friends. Good eats, good company and a lot of coffee, food trucks, walking, cooking, good beer, beautiful runs, downtime, and trees.

That, plus like 30% of our waking time has been spent at this table at Powell’s City of Books. Books are cool, kids. I am reminded that I like words, particularly ones that are strung together nicely.
