Weekend in Portland
So we’re unexpectedly in Portland for the weekend, and it’s so tempting to go out and “play” instead of catching up on the various things that make up a huge backlog of work. The hotel filled up with soccer families during the day, so the pool is full of kids, and hotel is full of gangly teens, a number of which I swear were playing soccer upstairs from us last night. Staying in my room instead of hanging out in the atrium with the parents and kids had its advantages, though. I watched an excellent movie, The Last Kiss, with Zach Braff and Jacina Barrett. (Caution: The site is barriered by Flash, and once it loads, the music is pretty loud. In short, it’s a film about how various people handle the adversities in their relationships - more interesting than most Hollywood productions.
