Waiting

Just dropped my car off for an oil change and tire rotation, and am killing the time at Starbucks. I know it's a chain, I know many Portlanders consider it evil. I don't care. The chai is good, and the WiFi is free. I should just make Starbucks my office.

As an added bonus, the employees at this particular Starbucks are always upbeat and friendly.

#failing... I forgot to attach the photos, and there's no way to fix it till I get back to my laptop... Maybe I'll just upload them separately. Oops.

#update Fished out the laptop. Photos are attached, but I fear the moment has passed... Especially since they're not particularly spectacular photos. Meh.

I've never watched much soccer, but for some reason, I'm looking forward to watching now that Portland has an MLS team. I didn't get tickets to this game, but I'll definitely be checking out future home games. Anybody going tonight?
