I worked two shifts on the Portland Spirit today. Lunch and Friday Early Escape. The most remarkable thing was that I had a table give me a one hundred dollar bill as a tip for a 94.00 tab. I tried to give it back, thinking she had misread the bill, and she said “No. That’s […]
I worked for the first time in about a year for the Portland Spirit. I wasn’t on the Spirit itself, but on the Willamette Star, which is one of the small boats in the fleet. I was a waitress for an Eastern Orthodox wedding reception. It was a long, exhausting day in no small part
I offered to look after Peter and Marlene’s kids so that they could go out on a date. The kids were absolute angels for me and went to bed without fussing. Remarkable. I’m heading back to Portland tomorrow. Yay!
We finished the meetings today after getting lots of good work done. Emily and I rode back into NYC together and then headed out to a lovely restaurant for cocktails and appetizers. Then I met Peter and rode the train back up here. Tomorrow, I head back to Portland. Hurrah!
I got up at 5:00 this morning and Rob drove me to the airport for my 6:45 flight. The poor guy has an awful head cold. It started coming on yesterday and is in full swing now. Hopefully I’ll survive this trip without catching it. During boarding in Portland, they sent me back to Security
Just the weather is gloomy. After yesterday’s glory, the weather turned back to a proper Portland spring, gray and rainy. I’m in great shape. Eve came and helped me really proof-read the brochure. The number of mistakes was staggering. Hopefully we caught the worst of the lot. So, now I’ll put it on a disk,
Installation went very well. The guys the University sent with the ladder were great and very friendly. They got my pulleys up, and the lines installed. The fish goes up and down like a dream. The fellow who hired me is ecstatic. The show is Saturday night, I’ll try to get some good pictures. For

I went to breakfast with Jodi and Sam and when I returned my kitchen floor looked like this! Wow. I was not expecting them to move so fast. By the way, I’m at the Portland Airport now.
I went down to the Spirit office today to do a little computer work for them. Back when I was recovering from the torn ligament in my wrist I worked in the sales department. While I was there, I developed a couple of tools for doing proposals and the like that they still use. Every

I work with Willamette Radio Workshop, a radio group in Portland, though it’s been a year or more since I performed with them. I maintain their website, and have spent most of today making changes to the site. Most of them don’t show up, just behind the scenes things, but I did make some error
Oh yeah. Jodi and I have been routed through Phoenix. We got here at ten-thirty this morning and are supposed to leave at two eighteen. Our flight is delayed until 3:20. This is better than where we started this morning. We were scheduled to fly into LA, but not to Portland. Um…that’s not where we
According to my clock, Rob left Portland ten minutes ago. I’m very, very, very excited that I will see him in less than sixteen hours. Not that I’m counting…
Yesterday the weather was bright and clear, today it’s back to its normal fall overcast. The overcast here is different from Portland, though we have the same silvery light, the clouds change constantly in the sky. Usually, there is a patch of blue somewhere. I went walking through downtown today, to pick up my new
