Oh no you may have jinxed it!

I kind of like how the set-up looks like an open mic, lol. Now I'm like Sandeep/BOS stand-up.

I feel the Data Ners have had an impact here!

Hahaha I was going to go look for this map but you beat me there.

I was thinking similarly, as people have been recommending their private schools in parent communities with "minimal screen use" as a feature. I am so sad that we are in this place, and that it just kind of HAPPENED because of COVID and nobody seemed to ask if it was a good idea long term.

My neighbor’s dog is free-roaming but he’s a Very Good Boy who generally stays with his owner. He was a rural dog before. I say generally because he does sometimes get bored, which is how we first met. Just wandered over to introduce himself. Never goes far though.

I love Paris. I have been all of twice now, haha. Lives up to the hype. Especially if cities are your jam. Go to the Carnavalet Museum, it’s free!

It’s true. Usually I start with Google to plan the journey.

I hate that it requires two bus apps to get around but it really does.

My impression from when we’ve been here before is that Portland is a more kid-friendly city than Seattle. I hope that bears out. I kind of feel like Seattle got even less so after COVID.

Part of it was that traveling-with-kids trips after COVID were to make up lost time with family on the east coast. I’m hoping they will love it here in Portland and it won’t be the last visit for awhile!
