- Burnside skatepark - watching or doing - 4 T Trail - Japanese Garden (my favorite: take the MAX to the zoo, then walk down the Wildwood Trail to the Japanese Garden on the way to downtown) - Walking the downtown river trails (Eastbank Esplanade &g…

A lady friend suggests James Herriot's books (All Creatures Great & Small etc.).
-
The Snarkout Boys and the Avocado of Death!!!! Great girl character named Rat Face who is a total tomboy.

Another thought - you should just take her to the library every week, hand her her own card, and let her go to town. I discovered most of my own favorite books that way, and I had a real sense of owning my library and loving it because I got to do t…

Swiss Family Robinson! Any of the Moomin books! Heidi! The Witch of Blackbird Pond (maybe in a year or two)! Tuck Everlasting! The Hounds of the Morrigan!

I read TONS of Nancy Drew when I was in second and third grade. Sheesh. But there wasn't much I wouldn't read - if it's on the shelf, it's mine. Apparently I told my mom she was going too easy on my little brother after reading "Dare to Discipline,"…

Hell, she can come to my house for book club! I bet we'd have ten ladies happy to re-read them and talk about them with her.
-
Give her Mixed Up Files next! And ask her to give us a 3-5 sentence book report when she's done! If she's rocking Narnia, I might be able to dig a little deeper.

Inkheart (Cornelia Funke) The Light Princess (George MacDonald) All the Ramona Quimby books (Beverly Cleary) Holes (Louis Sachar)

Under the age of 10 is tough. Next tier up, I can do in a heartbeat. But here are a few ideas; you might double-check to make sure it's age appropriate. 5 Children and It (E. Nesbit - and a bunch of other E Nesbit books) The Phantom Tollbooth (Nort…

These are so good. UHX should offer punning services for hire.
-
I am excited - the books were so good, but because of the characters and story, not because of the prose, so hopefully they will translate well to film. But, guys? Have you see the actor they chose for Peeta? I'm not buying it.

Ed, you just threw me. I would have said coffee > pizza any day, but when you turned it into cheese vs. coffee...I would have to give up the java!

We brought back a dozen bagels from NYC. I just ate one for breakfast. It was the size of a grapefruit. Can you get too full on a bagel? Because I think maybe that's what I just did.
-
I like Street Roots! The immediate reason I buy it is because our vendor Eddie is a dear, but he seems like things are kind of tough for him, and I'm glad to have a respectful way to help him out and have Calvin have a moment of chatting with him. B…

If I may digress from the pubes discussion, I have to say that there is nothing less sexy than people who are not really enjoying themselves in the porno film. By which I mean "none of the guys, ever, and pretty close to all of the ladies." I get ti…

Owly, please send me contact info! I know just the person!

YT joined me and the monkey boy for our weekly pizza date at Mississippi Pizza. The quality of the pizza was fine, but the quality of the company was impeccable.

Alex, is Kevin still looking for a housemate? Or does anybody else have any leads? I know two people who are looking for a room...

Borscht, turkey sandwich, carrot salad, one mini Ritter Sport yogurt chocolate bar.

I like "fancy ramen." Make the ramen noodles, discard liquid. Saute in a nonstick pan: noodles, 1/2 flavor packet, a couple of sliced green onions, some defrosted frozen peas, and an egg. Pretty good, really! Also: grilled cheese with chutney, or t…

Order bike maps for free from the City! Also key: - PDX public art app - I have heard good things about this bike map app, but it's iPhone only so I haven't tried it myself. - If using transit, get an app. I believe PDX Bus is the preferred app fo…

I don't get the traps thing, like, at all. Anybody got an idea, or more info?
-
Oh yeah! And of course Mi Mero Mole!

Again, guys, Violetta's in Director Park is closed. Steve's Cheese Bar for cheese.

Tasty, Podnah's, Olympic Provisions, Apizza Scholls (haven't been there in years but it is/was so good), Kenny & Zuke's, Lincoln/Sunshine Tavern, Ned Ludd. Winter Farmer's Market.

We have a whole family of 3 in 1200 square feet and we feel like we're living in princely luxury. It's so much room! What a jerk.
-
Bad news, guys. Sounds like the Violetta cart closed. If only they had given out more bags and napkins, maybe it wouldn't have come to this.

Aw, don't make me blush, LT. It was kind of funny, though. In my head I was saying, "Seriously?! BRING IT, dude, because I will crush your bike cred." I'm a nerd. It's like every nerd's dream to be challenged in your particular area of expertise.
