Femtio

Femtio is Swedish for 50. I know I should be learning Spanish, but I find Swedish more interesting. It's interesting, absurd, and somewhat horrible to be 50.

I spent my birthday (Monday) in Portland with a short trip to Seaside on the Oregon coast.

The Oregon coast remains an 'it' spot for me. I can think of few places I love more.



My friend Mike was also nice enough to take me to lunch at McMenamin's. There are few restaurants I love more than McMenamin's. When I moved to Oregon in 1998, McMenamn's pubs felt good to me right away. We went to the one at Murray and Allen, right down the street from where I lived in Beaverton.
Mike is a computer and electronics genius and has applications on his Ipod Touch that I didn't know were possible.



More later and *note to self* pictures from Argosy cruise on Lake Union.
