about an hour out of portland martie k. took me foraging for plants and moss and mushrooms today, she is after all a well cherished portland topiary designer and hunts down amazing green nature

lush moss abounds everywhere

our sewer line is being replaced! OMG Portland makes you do this if your sewer joins another’s and if you want to either sell your house or add a second bathroom, and at the tune of $6000 or so you are obliged to do it

i ran into steven romero and martie kilmer and they invited me to lunch at kenny and zuke’s
i ordered the very popular sandwich with corned beef for 11.95 and ate half, i brought the other half back to john who commented on it immediately, the foodie that he is
he said :this is very dry, not very moist, not crazy about it!
so there it is! he is the meat expert after all
