Some hair I spotted at a great store on NW 23rd in Portland. The girl said "sure, take my photo, it won't be the first time, I get asked this all of the time". Seriously? Who has that great of hair? I am not sure about the faux hawk part but the cut and curl is nice. Maybe it's because she has a nice face.

Update post op

Rob's surgery went well. He is still sleepy and nauseated from the morphine. The surgeon found that he had another tear in his shoulder tendons and did a repair to that also. He said he was successful at fixing his separated shoulder. It's hard to see Rob in pain and lying in a hospital bed. He is so strong and capable all of the time. We love him.

Law of Averages


Today Rob fell.
Fell off of his bike.
Off the curb.
Into a hole.
All alone.
No one stopped.
Had an x-ray.
Saw a surgeon

Tomorrow Rob is having surgery to repair his separated shoulder. One would think that today was a bad day. It was actually kind of fun. Not for Rob, but for me. We spent the day together. I was in my pajamas, bra-less and sweaty in my down coat. I know, it sounds sexy.

Jack and Jean in Taveuni, Fiji




Rejuvenation in Portland


Wish I had pictures of all of the great merchandise at this fabulous store. They have old and new and refurbished furniture, fixtures, and housewares. Took a pic on the phone of this great table. Could I make it work as a kitchen table. We all know I need a different table, or at least I will when the crack completely separates.

Mutsumi and the old house





























Had to stop and see the old house. I thought it looked great. Mostly the same but with some great decorating. Made me cry. We lucked out and Mutsumi happened to be home. We got see baby Luther as well. And, April and Lyndsey at Piazza Italia.

Portland in October






























What a fun trip with two great friends and Rob. Thanks Rob for making the trip and driving us home.

Mark Lanegan and Isobel Cambell were great in concert.

The food was wonderful.

We tried Koi Fusion, a Korean Mexican taco traveling street vendor. We had it twice. We had to eat at Bombay Cricket Club, Piazza Italia, Alotta Gelatto, and Voodoo Donuts. We even had some rain to make it Portland. We found some great shops. I think by far my favorite was the Lounge Lizard in the Pearl.
