Remember that boy from Portland I mentioned? We’ve been debating the benefits of our fair cities in hopes of pursuading the other to relocate. The “You’ll have to move here” followed by “No, you move here” argument usually degrades into a tennis match of geographic beauties, city planning, sports teams, and cost of living. And really, can you argue about whether Mt. Hood is prettier than Mt. Rainier?
This morning, I came up with a doozy: the Olympics. Portland don’t got ’em. Bwaa haa haa haa. I’ve come up with it at last! The final bit that will convince him he must move UP HERE. He countered with this.
For now, at least, he’s winning. And it wasn’t even in the stoopid Oregonian. It’s from the Seattle Times. How embarrassing!

Holy crap. I’m moving to Portland. Or Vancouver. Nah, just kidding. Kind of.
What they do say about the transport is true, though. I hate how limited my options will be in terms of where I live in Seattle simply because of not having a car–whereas in Paris, Prague, and Philly, it’s not a problem

There’s a good chance Ed will be applying to post-Doc internships at Portland State and University of Oregon – if we end at Portland, and you end up there, well, that’d be snazzy, hey? The Olympics are beautiful, but how do they compare to Powell’s?

Well Boys and Girls, does anyone know the exact halfway spot between Portland and Seattle? I believe it’s Centralia-Chehalis. On second thought you two can work this out for yourselves.
