We Love Jules on (and off) the Podium

We love to see our girl Julia on that podium, esp on the tip top like she was yesterday when she captured first place in Garmisch.  Looking gorgeous and skiing fierce, this Tahoe girl makes her friends proud.  Go Jules. 

In our happy place

Bombed Post Love

Today I made a new friend, her name is Dawn and she made my day by sending me this photo! 

What is it you ask?  Hello!  It is a yarn bombed poetry post! 

Someone please run over to NE 9th and Knott and chain a toy horse to this situation for a true Portland art trifecta.

Poetry Posts

Portland buds, have you guys noticed the poetry posts in yards around town?

This city is so damn creative. Love it. I feel like I am seeing more and more posts pop up.   Coming across these posts gives me an excuse to rest a bit on a run.  Like most things cool in this city - I see most on the east side. 

Not from around here and wonder what a poetry post is?  “A poetry post (or poetry pole or poetry box) is a wooden pole, usually, mounted on private property, so that it faces pedestrians. On top of the pole is a box, with a glass or clear face and a lid. Inside the box is a sheet of paper containing a poem (or, sometimes, prose or a photograph). Sometimes the pole is absent, the box mounted to a tree. That’s it.”

If you are from the rose city, be sure to stop to smell the roses, and read the poems.

What's in your queue?

I spent some time last week getting my netflix queue in order. 

Realize this is not my highest priority task, yet it was one that I knew I could be successful at and so I went for it. 

I am in a documentary kind of mood I guess, because I have signed up for all of these...

Training for Boston

Go Cats Go

 "UVM One of First Universities to End Sales of Bottled Water, Mandate Healthy Vending Options".  In case you forgot I am a very proud UVM alum, UVM always makes me so proud.   Go cats go. 

Airport Yoga at SFO

How did PDX not think of this first?  A yoga room at the airport - brilliant.  Namaste travellers. 

Blow Out

Has anyone been to the Blow Out Blow Dry Bar?  I am itching to go.  I think the messy knot on my head has some potential in the hands of a trained professional...
