enjoying more of summer's bounty...


"gramps" i call mike. he played softball for his work team on thursday and he's been hobbling around ever since. poor guy. we're on our way to the farmer's market. mike's smiling because he actually made it down the stairs! then to floyd's coffee shop. it's probably our favorite coffee place in town so far. they serve stumptown coffee and voodoo doughnuts. we'll wait to fill you all in on the whole "voodoo doughnuts" story. i think a trip to their shop is required in order to get the whole experience. then to the market. what a gorgeous day. today, we came away with a wheel of camembert cheese, a bottle of delicious pear wine, some heirloom tomatoes, fingerling potatoes, peaches, blueberries, spinach, walla walla onions, and cookies! yum yum!

i think it's the fresh pac-nor-wee air. It doesnt actually make you thinner, but it does give the illusion of weight loss. it's great for all us ben & jerry's fans that reside here. Although I should actually start to shed some pounds for real since i'm working downtown now. i have a new bike being built for me so i can commute to work by bike. it's only about a six mile roundtrip commute, although it should feel pretty good riding these streets. i think it's really going to open my eyes up more and really feel like i can communicate and feel this area in a more organic way (because i believe this place deserves at least that from the peolpe who choose to live here) needless to say i'm pretty excited about riding a bike again. anyway, off the subject (if there was one), thomas do you by chance still have that UP spindle of slides you got while diving one day? If so, and you feel like parting with it for some odd reason, then we need to talk. I think I use too many commas in my sentence structure when i type. for now i will so farewell and good day. peace
