Hip, 20-something PortlandersAn excellent supper tonight at the Heathman restaurant. Rabbit with Chorizo, spaetzel, and fresh spinach. The Easter Bunny was quite delicious. In fact, the whole meal was very good…the rabbit and the profiteroles for dessert being the highpoints. Good and good for you.
Last night’s supper was also a treat - dinner at Bamboo Sushi, one of Arthur and Sher Snowden’s neighborhood eateries. In addition to the Snowdens, I was joined by John and Jane – with a special guest appearance by an obviously twitterpated Jim Larson. We had an absolutely delightful evening.
Sher and Arthur - they are headed to Napa Valley next week
Jim is conducting a serious long-distance romance with a gal in Texas. He is clearly a Stage One Lovesick patient. Stage One of the disease, as most of you know (or at least dimly recollect), is where the symptoms include a general light-headedness, euphoria, singing in the shower, and, on occasion, that condition that my doctor now says requires me to immediately contact him if I experience it for more than four hours. Lucky boy…I hope he remains in Stage One for many a moon.
Jim is in love...but not with Jane
John and Jane are in good spirits and coping with the typical travails of parents of a sixteen year old daughter. They should enjoy every minute of it…’cause she’ll be gone before they know it! Jane is planning a trip in the near future with daughter, Morgan, to check-out Seattle University. It will also provide an opportunity for Auntie Terry Harrigan to spoil her honorary niece, Morgan. Also, Jane informed me that an announcement is imminent on the details of the Summer 2009 Juneau mini-reunion to be held at the soon-to-be-completed Casa Kibby. Stay tuned…

Today, I drove up to Woodland, Washington to visit Brooke Mansfield, an old high school friend. She is doing very well, seems happy in her home and has competent and caring support. She lives in a beautiful new home in a new subdivision with lots of greenery and walking paths. There are two other boarders in the residence. She was very pleased to have company. I had a great time, too, and look forward to a return visit.

I’m entering this note from the Great Room of the hotel. It has a nice fire place, a grand piano (they had a jazz trio in their last night), a bunch of comfy sofas, and tables with chairs – they serve tea here in the afternoon. It’s where you go for your wifi action.
Well, think I’ll go back to the room at and have a soak.
Next post: Dateline Seattle!
