Writing this from Portland. I'm up visiting my brother: I went to his latest play last night, and I'll try to write more about it later. I really like this city, and frankly miss it, despite all the things Boston has that it lacks.

Getting up here involved ghetto-rigging one of my car's side mirrors duct tape after something (the hedge? another car in the parking lot at work?) snapped it half off on Wednesday; this came at the end of about twelve hours of panicking about whether I was going to make it up, during which I was also frantically completing an art project. But the art got printed and framed, the car hasn't died yet, and I made it to Portland.

Now if only there were about fifty more hours in this weekend...

So I'm headed up to Portland tomorrow, to see my father and brother and their partners; also Peter, who's spending a couple of days with Dad.
Well, that's the plan, anyway.

( From an email to my Dad )

So, yeah, that.

(Yes, I will still make it to the latke party! I'll just take the bus home and then...grab my car, I guess? Um. But the chances that my car will sulk and refuse to start - or break down somewhere around the Arlington reservoir - will not deter me!)

Knee status: still hurty
Weather: too warm. Even Portland's (probably getting the storm tomorrow as rain, rather than snow. :(
Then again, the "probably" is the devil here. Again, :(

Oh well. For now, bellringing! which of course is also the theme of the weekend...
