It is time to leave Portlandia, PDX, on an early morning flight, at the airport at 6:00 a.m. It is time to think about boarding and I return to the gate from whence I was, and at that moment, a text. “Where are you?” For the moment I have forgotten that “Trotter”/Caleb from The Mousetrap …

Transition
And there is was, on the way away from the Coast, a solitary bridge, leading to nowhere. So I drove in. And then out. The sign states that Portland is 139 miles and San Francisco is 750. I wonder who cared, when. …
