On to the next big adventure!

Boston's a lot of fun--can't give you specifics, as it's been a while. Been there twice as an adult and loved loved loved it.

Almost everyone I know in Portland has some connection to Boston. I think we have an underground Portland/Boston light rail train or something. Many people I know went to college in Boston, then moved here, then moved back to Beantown, then back here. Or vice versa. We have two separate friends (they don't know each other) who have left for Boston this year.

I can't imagine a New England winter, though. That would be hard for me....but beautiful, nonetheless.

I can just imagine you in an orange curly wig, a red dress, Frodo by your side, standing on the steps of the Massachusetts Capitol Building surrounded by the democrats, singing like Annie, "I'm think I'm GONNA like it here!!!!"
