Perhaps the only reason to paste and look at this link, is if you are coming to the City and want to have a food truck experience. [If you live in Portland, OR it’s a moot point.] The list includes: ice cream, donuts, steak pies, tacos, middle eastern, pupusas, to name but a few. And …

It’s Only Fair- Fare
Rain. Like no tomorrow. The re-enactment of the Noah Episode. The week I left the city, the Oregonian had a chart of Portland having less rain compared to other cities, ie New York. Well, right they are. It has been pouring for two days. As I look out my window at the downpour, the puddles …

Waaaaay Back!
Tonight, Carol and Richard and Donna and Naomi and David and ‘little sister Ruthie’ came to the Mousetrap. The last time they saw me on stage was with them in senior year of high school. Not quite yesterday! Thank you for your generosity in making time and being so enthusiastic. You were a delight. In …
WSJ- Saturday last

NCNM
National College of Natural Medicine. My NYC Chinese Dr. said to continue my acupuncture treatments in Portland and sent this recommendation. Naturopathic and Chinese medicine teaching college. And she added the words, if you want acupuncture, Portland is the place!
