A Long[er] Time Ago...




Just a little something fun since I haven´t been here in so long. Also, I´m moving to Portland (Oregon, U.S. of A!) in about a month and might be even less here until I can finally get finished with this apartment, packed, moved, unpacked and settled again in some beautiful, green, non-Spanish suburb of the Beaver State.

Hasta no sé cuando. Disfrutad.

Nice. I'm down the valley a bit in Corvallis, and Portland can use some more "normal" people moving there to help balance things out.
Dude! You're heading back to the USA? Congratulations! Any connection to Portland (either via you or your wife)? Or did Destiny just tap you on the shoulder and say, "By the way, this random place [points at Portland on a map] is where you go next."?

Very best, dude. Hope the move goes well.
Believe it or not, I lived in Baker City, OR (not sure if that really counts) for about 2 years about a lifetime ago. However, that´s got nothing to do with it this time around. This time I´m riding my wife´s coat tails into a life of green ease. I´m not sure if I qualify as "normal," but I do plan to infiltrate the system by means of beer brewery, coffee roastery and unexpected right leanery.

BTW, my wife´s coat tails are made of a kick-ass scientist´s resumé (CV) that got her an equally kick-ass position at OHSU after four long years of serious suffering in the absolutely worst environment (scientifically and otherwise) conceivable (i.e. Spain - the scientific and cultural equivalent to Marshall, Will and Holly´s Land of the Lost experience).

Thanks for the well wishes, bros. I´m bustin' it to get outta here by Oct. 1 :-O
a life of green ease

The colour of money, right? You've not gone all squishy environmentalist-whacko on us, have you? I mean, Mike, look at it... you're moving to Oregon. The Spotted Owl State. It's a dangerous environment (sorry) for a conservative.

Oh, wait... I should have read this more carefully: but I do plan to infiltrate the system by means of beer brewery, coffee roastery and unexpected right leanery.

All right. You're fine. All good wishes from the other coast of North America.
That is some good news, Mike. It'll be nice to have another conservative coming back home.

More importantly, I hope you and your wifey rock out and find some happiness in the States.
I'll miss you and your amazing cow cloning wife.
All the best in Portland! Go be happy :)
(If you need a beer taste-tester, I'll be looking for a job in about four years when Spain drives me crazy. )
