Mixed results today: taped sandwich bags were too easy to open, glasses of jello "juice" were a hit, but no one discovered the blue milk!

Got my training schedule set...it's triathlon time! (But this year it's not swim/bike/run; it's my house that's getting into shape.)

Doing dishes in the city: Flickers, squirrels, downy woodpeckers, sparrows, starlings, robins, black-cap chickadees, oregon juncos outside.

Happiness is: sunny days, impromptu playdates & friends who bring you dinner from Trader Joe's!

Who'da thunk: Portland to Hawaii (KOA) is cheaper than PDX to Mexico (LAP).

My small-business & lefty-greeny self shout: not good when friends must close because of bad enviro/health rules! ping.fm/gByvQ

Yet another reason I love Portland: Cheesmaking classes! ping.fm/3OkYF

Messing about with oven roasted pears...should we top them with amazing balsamic or make a chocolate sauce?

Thrilled that Dylan is burning all the CD's to the Transporter so we can move them to the basement and build more bookshelves!
