Comment on My Favorite Place by Mary

I love going to the library, but I don’t make it there enough. There’s something about old, used books I find nostalgic, and I hope actual books stick around for quite some time.

Times are changing though – when I take my little sister from the Big Brothers Big Sisters program to the library, she simply requests the Wi-Fi pass code and plays learning games online. Luckily, she still checks out books before we leave.

I’m getting Kindle Fire for Christmas, so I’m curious how this new tablet & eReader will impact my hard copy book consumption.

I’d sell fresh chicken. “His name is Colin.” He’s from a small farm and had lots of room to roam. Sorry, couldn’t resist. Good post.

Too funny! We had the opposite problem and all pulled into the Bella parking lot and then realized we needed to keep going. Once you’re there, it’s tricky to get out though because of all the traffic.

Looks like a fabulous OMSI event! Between OMSI After Dark Loves the ’80s and 80s Video Dance Attack at the Crystal ballroom, I guess it’s not just the Dream of the 90s that’s alive in Portland…

Interesting you mention the signage, because I ran into issues last weekend I bought a Groupon for Bella Organic pumpkin farm; however, I saw corn maze signs, and followed them, assuming there was only one corn maze. I waited in a long line at the Timbers maze, only to realize the Haunted Maze that our Groupon was for was at a nearby location.

Way-finding signage is under-rated.

I have a similar story concerning my soccer career. It feels great to get involved again doesn’t it? I’m glad you were able to find volleyball again!
