It's just another Portland experience that we love and continues to confirm why we live here. Thursday nights at Kruger's Farm with great friends, food, and music (in that order).
Maybe the 65 degree temperature kept a huge crowd away - but that's what made it so great. Sun and a cool breeze make for the perfect setting.
Even Farmer Bob wasn't even that annoying.
This is my attempt to put in writing what goes on in my head on a daily basis. It includes everything from being in a 18 year same-sex relationship along with being an "older than average" parent of a 8 year old boy, political grumblings, current events diatribes, daily household minutiae - and anything else that I deem worthy of putting out there. Feel free to follow along as I pretend I have something important to say.

Perfect night
We had a great time last night at Kruger's Farm. It's been a favorite of ours for the past few years and each time we go it reaffirms our love for this part of the country. You can actually spend a late June evening outside with a perfect temperature and listen to great music while your kid runs around in the middle of a farm with good friends. No heat - no humidity - no mosquitos!
I'm always surprised that more people don't show up. Maybe I should stop advertising it.
On another note...I haven't posted on what's happening in New York regarding same-sex marriage because I'm still waiting to see what happens and it's very frustrating to watch and wait. We had a similar thing happen a few years ago regarding civil unions here in Oregon. One individual in the Oregon House of Rep's held up the vote. We had the overall votes - but she wouldn't let it come to a vote. Pathetic. Thank goodness she eventually left. Yes - Oregon now has civil unions - which don't really amount to much when you get right down to it. New York is in the same situation. One committee chairman gets to determine if the vote can even take place in the Senate. Of course this person won't be affected by same-sex marriage at all - but he sure likes the power he has over other people's lives now. Maybe by the end of the day - he'll come around. I'll be back to comment if he does.
