Leaving Portland Soonish

After a great time in Portland, I'll be heading back to Saint Paul tonight - my flight leaves at 12:30 AM and arrives at 5:30 AM. Russ is sleeping on the couch, Adam and Ildiko might be coming over soon for pie that Lisa made earlier and she is knitting on the couch now after having "tested" the whip cream to make sure it was working correctly. Good stuff.

I had a good presentation on Friday, Orf came down and we wandered about the city with Russ and Lisa on buses and trains. Adam and I did a few climbs in the Gorge (I sucK but had fun nonetheless). We had lots of good food, had an evening of fun with friends (thanks for coming out, Katie Iossi!).

And today Russ, Lisa, and I more or less finished a 7 foot tall home-made cat stand for their two cutie kiddies... photos to follow- and hopefully soon! While out here, I picked up an unexpected photography gig for late in the month back in Minnesota. So this has been a pretty good trip!
