Gosh, just this time last week, I was gleeful about autumn’s arrival, and then I remembered what that actually means. It’s suddenly wet again in Portland, a way of life that’s inevitable until late Spring, and apparently, something I’m still in denial about after a decade of raindrops. How do I pretend it’s not all soaked … Continue reading »
