We've gotten moved in to our new place in Lake Oswego. Unpacked...that's a different story! Brett had to take a bunch of our stuff to a storage unit yesterday because we have way too much stuff for our new place here. Two dining room tables and their chairs, plus a kitchen table and its chairs...and no need for any of them since there's an island and no room for anything else.
Brett has started back at Clear Channel Portland and is really enjoying the huge difference between the Savannah and the Portland office. You really wouldn't even think that this was the same company, the differences are that great.
And it's so nice to be back in the liberal mecca that is Portland. One of my favorite ways to describe Portland's feel to people that have never been here is to tell them that Ronald Regan and George the first used to refer to Portland as "Little Beirut" and did not like coming here because of the protests they would encounter - including the spirited and inventive protesters who would ingest certain unnaturally colored substances (I believe lime kool-aid) and then make themselves throw up a bright neon-y substance when the presidential motorcade stopped near them. Love it! Makes me wonder, though, if Daddy Bush called Portland Little Beirut back then, I can only imagine what Baby Bush calls it now?!
Another wonderful benefit of being back in Portland is all the services available here that aren't available in smaller towns. For example the number of acupuncturists in Savannah covered by our insurance: 0 The number of acupuncturists in Portland covered by our insurance: 162
Still no camera cord, so no new pics. Soon, hopefully!
