I arrived in town on Monday afternoon. Four days later, I'm still suffering from jet-lag after 3 weeks in Holland. I'm on the verge of complete exhaustion by 9 PM and I can't stop waking up at 4 AM. It's all very disconcerting and annoying. To make matters worse, I open my eyes every morning expecting to see my pal "M"'s couch in her Leiden apartment. I'm psychically in Portland but I guess my mind is still stuck in the Netherlands. Sigh....

Anyway, there's many stories to tell about Europe and Burning Man in the coming weeks, along with dozens of photos. I'll be rolling those out in the weeks to come while also struggling to keep this blog at least somewhat focused on Portland. After all, there's the title of this dang thing that I need to keep in mind....

Another goal: fix the comments. Blogger's system still refuses to work. If anyone has any tips or suggestions for another service, I'm all ears. Feel free to drop me a line at anotherportlandblog@gmail.com.

Cheers!
