i also wanted to post about portland--glaucon and i went on saturday, stayed overnight, and came back sunday afternoon/evening-ish.

we went on priceline to get a rental car to drive down there, and a hotel room. ended up staying at the holiday inn by the convention center (the hotel is on 2nd ave NE, if you know portland). we spent much of saturday walking around looking for a restaurant, and finally settled on this place called pazzo. i had a salad of winter greens, pear, and white balsamic viniagrette; a mushroom risotto dish with a black truffle cheese shaved on top; and panna cotta with a glass of amazing port for dessert. WOW! it was fabulous! very expensive but...so lovely. i wouldn't want to eat like that all the time, but every now and then it's just the thing.

we also played some pinball and bought books at powell's. we tried to hook up with my friend tim, but he was busy, so it was just us. and that was exactly right. a perfect weekend.

I love Portland.

When Doug and I went down there in September, we stayed at the Holiday Inn downtown (near PSU). It was the worst hotel experience ever. I hope that the HI by the Convention Center was better.
