I spent the night at my good friend Tracy's condo in Vancouver, WA. After the interview Tracy took me to lunch at McMenamins. This made me deliriously happy, as McMenamins pubs are one of my favorite things about the Portland area. Some of my fondest Portland memories are of being at various McMenamins locations, at windowside tables watching the rain pouring down. This McMenamins on the Columbia river always feels like being on vacation.McMenamins french fries are the best on the planet- I won't waste calories on fast food fries, but McMenamins fries w/ malt vinegar? Gotta have them.
I walked the mile and an half or so from the interview (the interviewer was nice enough to drive the 20 minutes from Portland to meet me at a Starbuck's in downtown Vancouver, WA) back to Tracy's. I passed these purple flowers, which of course made me happy.
After Portland / Vancouver I took the train to Bellingham (closest stop to my parents' house). Here's my precious puppy in her special TV room chair.
My parents like to sleep in on Sunday mornings. Brandy Joy does not care for sleeping in. I told my mom the night before to open her and my dad's bedroom door at 8 am and that I'd feed and walk Brandy so they could sleep in a little longer. The plan went fine except by 8:30 Brandy was bored and wanted them to get up. Here she is bascially saying 'C' mon, open the door dammit.' and "Ok, fine, don't open the door. I'll just lie here and pout." She cracks me up.
