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.
(cracking up laughing at the Santa story)
Typo Boy/Gar is in Portland.
Nope. He moved up to Oly, remember?
So it'll be up to me to recruit?
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.
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 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.
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.

AKA, HQ for the new pipedream 5 year plan!
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.)

Oops. I didn't know it saved that. Sorry for the confusion.
For some reason I didn't get much in the way of big cities on mine. I really expected Seattle to score higher. Oh well.
