adamdoesit:
we felt trapped
adamdoesit:
so we got on a plane to portland
adamdoesit:
to vent our anxieties.
adamdoesit:
call it an exit strategy.
adamdoesit:
family-style isn't how we normally roll
adamdoesit:
but we saw a great family
adamdoesit:
with a smiling new member.
adamdoesit:
missy needed to relax
adamdoesit:
and eat some breakfast.
adamdoesit:
so did I.
adamdoesit:
we went to REI. this is how 100Kg looks in a size L.
adamdoesit:
we went to council crest, where missy saw the light
adamdoesit:
and drank some water.
adamdoesit:
we didn't get flu shot gift cards
adamdoesit:
but we did get lovey-dovey
adamdoesit:
which was the point.
adamdoesit:
we also got real coke.
adamdoesit:
missy thought she preferred gringo mexican
adamdoesit:
till we went to a taco truck.
adamdoesit:
years fell off us like that.
adamdoesit:
we felt both old and new.
adamdoesit:
where once there was ennui
adamdoesit:
now there was joy.
adamdoesit:
I don't mean to say we shed all conflict
adamdoesit:
but we gained new apprecation for the journey.
adamdoesit:
we hiked into the rain, near mt. hood
adamdoesit:
and crossed bridges, literal and metaphoric.
adamdoesit:
missy's joy grew tall as trees
adamdoesit:
and fresh as summer rain.
adamdoesit:
we took in the scenery
