Where’s the Gin When You Need It?

Last night, in my continuing quest to watch every show that cable has to offer, I saw a bartending competition on the Food network. At first I was all excited, because I love making drinks (and maybe drinking them), but then I found out that a lot of the competition is judged on speed and [...]

The importance of being well-shod

First: a little background on the below product. As everyone who reads this blog is most likely aware (and if you weren’t, you may want to work on your reading comprehension skills), I just moved to Portland.

Happenings

It’s been a busy few days.
Tuesday, the architect & I went on an outing to Multnomah Falls. The falls are quite beautiful, and we had a lovely 4 mile hike up to the top of the Falls and then around to see some other waterfalls.

As we hiked, we saw a very cool slug.

As we were [...]
