...2nd floor, we were looking out at the river -- it was mostly dark, and the fog layer had dropped low again, and it was raining -- and noticed that the Christmas Ships were parading again on the Willamette. Well we've never gotten to see them before, so we went out to the promenade out there by the submarine exhibit and watched the Christmas Ships for awhile, and it was just wonderful. We both got ...

... to a nice apartment the first week of December. Up in the East hills of Portland, we have a three bedroom, two bathroom apartment with a dishwasher, washer and dryer with a nice view of the Willamette Valley plus a one car garage for a really reasonable rent. The one main drawback is that we had asked for a lower level apartment and got one instead on the second floor - which made moving all our ...
... At the end of the segment they said you could get the podcast on iTunes (which I found HERE ). Last but not least, an interesting and odd live review of Bobby's Portland show from the Willamette Weekly's "The Local Cut": Live Review: Mom Throng for Bobby Long . It is sort of a live blog of the show, including their reactions to some fans. But, at least, they seem to ...
...'s home. Peak wind gusts Wind gusts were as high as 70 to 100 mph or more in some locations along the Washington and Oregon coasts, as well as the mountains. Interior locations of Puget Sound and Willamette Valley had gusts in the 50-80mph+ range. In addition to the wind, record-breaking rainfall fell in Seattle with nearly an inch in a one hour period the afternoon of December 14. Such a ...
Picked this one up at a random drive-by stop-in at Laurel Ridge Winery , an Oregon winery located in Willamette Valley but selling mostly Walla Walla Valley (Washington) wines. We bought this and a bottle of their red table blend (which was very good for the price -- $20/bottle may seem like a lot for a table wine, but "David's Tableau" is far better than your average table red) Cracked it open...
... of souls. I still think about Skip's yellow and Penk's blue. What do you want to bet when Malarkey's time comes, his color is green? The color of deep lakes and lush forests, of the Willamette Valley. Oh, and a word of advice: don't bet with Death. I always win in the end. I collected hundreds of German and American souls in the Bois Jacques that winter. I’ve never cared for one soul more ...
... (Edradour - 10 yr - YUM) and sucking down more hot tea, then headed for Mexican food at the Iron Horse Restaurant (appropriately enough) in Sellwood before going to Oaks Park for a train ride along the Willamette River on a nice old steam-engine drawn train (SP 4449) decked out w/x-mas lights where we helped celebrate someone's 13th b-day (we even got cupcakes!) and then got a visit from Santa ...
This is the third or fourth day in a row that we haven't even hit the freezing mark, let alone gone above it. Driving to work this morning, I noticed that Kellogg Creek (flows into the Willamette by the Milwaukie boat ramp) is iced over. I guess it must not be as deep as it looks. Then on the way home, the park's pond is frozen over solid enough that people were walking on it. Brrr. I'm glad I ...
