Escapism
We spent the weekend in Portland for the Oregon Brewers Festival, which was held at a park in downtown Portland. Do you know what else is in downtown Portland? That’s right. Powell’s City of Books. Now, I am not saying it’s unreasonable to expect me to stick around a beer tasting festival that I have … Continue reading
Year One
Sunday was our first wedding anniversary, and we spent it picnicking with some friends in the park where we got married. A few highlights from the day: Waiting for other people to arrive Kris: How about we call our dads right now to say Happy Father’s Day? Gene: Good idea. [Picks up phone.] Kris: And … Continue reading

Tacos for the sassy girls
As Michele and I were sitting dockside at the Lake Chalet’s Taco Tuesday (an outing ably captured by Michele elsewhere), waiting for the rest of the girls to arrive, our waitress plunked a plate of tiny tacos down in front of us with a flourish and said “Tacos for the sassy girls!” For a brief … Continue reading

The moms, desperately wishing for at least one part of this hippie-ass wedding to be floaty and white, dashed out to a fabric store … Continue reading
Success!
About five hours of cleaning (with some time out for laundry) and I have a few pictures to show. You may remember how my workspace looked before… And now: I still want to paint and stencil the desk and file cabinet and put my shelves up over my desk, plus of course the room is … Continue reading
Pillow
In the middle of many (many, many) pending projects, I have at last managed to finish something. Behold, my Pride and Prejudice throw pillows: These began life as tea towels, part of a wedding gift from the great Maggie and her lovely husband Justin. I couldn’t keep them as towels because I couldn’t bear to … Continue reading
