Hey there. In case you are not "in the know", I am currently on vacation in Portland, Oregon visiting my girlfriend Frances. I've taken a photo or two (and will be taking many more before my return on the 28th) that might go up on Flickr and possibly also here during vacation-time, so feel free to keep on checking back repeatedly just in case! And as far as how things are going, I'll just say very well indeed and leave it at that. Tomorrow we travel down to the Clackamas County Fair! Pygmy goats, demolition derby, rodeo, pretty baby contest, etc. etc. and etc.! For right now, though, I just have a little something that has been tipped by the inveterate tipster reader Andrea B. Please hail Odin and then enjoy.
