Portland, you have some mystical-looking trees amongst you.
And yet you can also be so delicate and blossomy.
And damp and hobbity.
Why, look, I’ve spotted a pixie!
Perhaps I will capture her and force her to write a book with me. Pixies are magical, you know.
Oh, look, it’s another fetching maiden. Take my word for it, Portland is bursting with them. Be careful! They may ply you with exotic libations.
And then the nice judge will make you get around on one of these for a year:
Look out, Seattle! We’re coming for you next!
I’m missing your reading RIGHT NOW.
Stupid baby and his 7:30 bedtime! Are you in Seattle tomorrow? Can I steal you for tea?
The trees, the ladies, the lot of you– lovely.
Hobbity. That really is Portland in a nutshell. Have fun, you two adorable pixies!
Sigh. Lovely.
Dang it! I was just in Seattle! Sigh.
May I recommend the bean burger at Lunchbox Laboratory? It’s one of the most delicious things I have ever eaten. And, I’ve eaten a lot.
Come to Vancouver! Just a hop, skip and a jump over the border…
