Not to deny your frustrations with the city, Aimee, but I will add that parenthood has probably played a VERY big factor in your failure to get out more.
I second that emotion.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I can't believe I'm defending sports fannery!Right there with you, lisah... I think, given that I don't actually have a single horse in this race, that it doesn't matter at all to me personally and my friends don't need my defense, this would be a good time for me to back away from this topic.

Nope. He moved up to Oly, remember?

So it'll be up to me to recruit?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

To a certain degree, I certainly agree with you. Packing up all the crap a toddler needs to make any kind of outing comfortable and as stress-fress as possible, is, to say the least, a PITA. But we were quite hermity before Em came around. Her arrival has actually made us a little less hermity. But yeah.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I think that moving with a toddler might be easier than moving when she's old enough to have friends and maybe a school that she's grown attached to. So the timing would be good.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Thanks, Calli. I didn't notice it 'til I'd done a page or so but you actually linked me to your page (or someone else's personal results). Hope I didn't screw up your score.

C'mon, PDX!

Sometimes, I even think, gosh, we could do it!
Reality, however, tends to tie us here.

I have to say that the ReadyMade article on the McMenamins certainly made Portland seem even cooler. (Hec mentioned these guys earlier, just to give credit where it's due.)
