Mostly a haze of bike shops and farmer’s markets and novels and wedding plans. I find myself in a car quite a bit less than before. A ten dollar investment in a fifteen-year-old bike and the city moves by at the same pace as four wheels. For the most part.

It’s cooler here. 115-degrees in KC equals 68-degrees in PDX which equals afternoon naps with the windows open. Microbrews and chicken jousting are new to me but I’ve enjoyed plenty of both here.

It seems like there’s no downside until I attempt to explain how exciting the city is to friends and family nineteen hundred miles away. Or more. Sometimes sacrifices are for others and sometimes they’re selfish. This is the latter but I hope to make it up with plenty of the former in the future.
