Reconnection

I just read an article on daily writing and it brought me back here.  I've not visited for two years - last time I wrote a blog was in 2011.  Funny thing is I can't even recognized my own blog, the pictures that I posted.  I had to dig deep to recall when and what the post is about.  Weird!

I've not picture/s to post this time, just wanted to prime the writing skill again.  Hopefully this will get me start writing and post some beautiful photos again.  

For now, I bid you adieu...till tomorrow.

Foodie

Have been hanging out with a bunch of foodies and have been indulging in some wonderful cuisine.   I attended a Yelp event at Trader Vic's restaurant in Portland and did a sampling of appetizers which was really, really good. 

Yelp has been having events for its "Elite Yelpers" as a way of promoting business in the area.  I was lucky enough to have a friend who is an elite yelper and got invited as a guest.

Today was another foodie day, and this time it was experiencing Sichuan cuisine with my fellow workers.  The food was plentiful and flavorful and just amazing!

Autumn

Another beautiful fall day in the city of Portland Oregon.  On days like this, it is so easy to forget that we get over 300, give or take a few days, rainy days a year.  But for now it is absolutely gorgeous. 

Celebrations!

 This has been a week of celebrations with friends - birthdays and getting married (bachelorette party). 

As the days get more somber, it is always wonderful to get out and have a few hours of silliness, people watching and a little debauchery with friends.
