Thanks UPS!

I got a huge surprise in the mail today. Ok, so it wasn't really a surprise since it was like six years in the making, but I was so happy to see that document envelope perched on my mailbox (because it didn't fit inside) I seriously got nerd chills and a little bit of a flutter in my stomach. AND this creates the perfect opportunity for some congratulations that didn't make it to me since the end was a little anti-climatic and got a little intermingled with the move to P-town. So BE PROUD, cause I am.

Ode to Portland

I love your trails, your hills, your trees
I love your sun, your rain, your breeze.

Your bike lanes are spacious, your city alive.
Your people are friendly, and here they thrive.

I will never leave you for somewhere less cool
You smash all competition in a fair duel.

Portland, I love you, and here I will stay
You're better than Salt Lake, San Fran, and L.A.
