Well, it’s winter in Portland, no matter what the calendar says. The weather’s beyond just “chilly” these days, and some of the leaves haven’t even had time to change color before they’re already falling off the trees. The clincher, though, is that pretty much everyone in the office is either sick right now, or has [...]

I saw this link on the BootsnAll boards today, and it amused me. So I’m sharing it with you. Yes, it would certainly appear that the job of “travel writer” would be a dream job – the life of leisure, and all that. While being a travel writer beats the hell out of some jobs [...]

A friend of mine who works at the local coffeeshop is leaving in a few weeks to begin her Peace Corps career as a teacher in Bulgaria. She’s all kinds of excited and nervous all rolled into one, and she stopped me this morning when I went in to get my warm beverage to ask [...]

It's been awhile since we had a BootsnAll member stop by the office. However, thank to a recent post on the message boards wondering where the Boots Crew were these days, we managed to arrange lunch with Bideshi, aka Mike (blue shirt below).
With a couple of stints working in South …
