Okay. Wine surfing rules. Gourmet au Bay has a fabulous location right on the bay and was a lovely start to the evening. Owners Bob and Sissy are great, the shop is great, the location is great, and we really need one of these in Portland. They've got six wines on…

This afternoon after we finished our work we took a little sightseeing drive toward Carnation, WA. We wanted to get out a bit and it was raining like crazy (with an occasional loud boom of thunder…doesn't everyone think of going out driving when it's like that?) I thought we should…

We left Silver Spur RV Park (after a very successful and fun first rally of the season) and headed to Seven Brides Brewing with our friends in their Airstream behind us. A mini caravan (of about two miles). A "pairavan"? It was fun, and gave us a tiny taste of…

We drove into Silverton last night for our anniversary dinner. We'd talked ahead of time to the chef, Jeff Nizlek, and he said he had a large party of 20 coming in and that they were fun but that they might be loud. He said he'd be happy to have us,…
