Back from Oregon




Well howdy. Got back from Oregon yesterday morning on a red eye that left me with a brutal case of jet lag. Dad rented a big old beach house for the lot of us at Cannon Beach, which had a stunning view, vintage '70s decor and a steep enough hill to the expansive beach that wasn't quiet brutal enough to offset the massive junk food intake for the week.

We played loads of Balderdash, as we did in England, a game that has left us with many memorable new words for our vocabularies, as well as many excellent fake definitions. The steplad kept all the fake and real answers in a plastic baggy, so maybe I can get him to help me write up a short little best-of list. (Oh oh, Wikipedia has just informed me that some of Balderdash's words may be fakes!)

Stayed one night at the Ace Hotel in Portland, which I highly recommend, and spent a few hours at Powell's books. Though no tours were available of the Shanghai Tunnels - hopefully next trip.
