Destination Portland

At first Stella was apprehensive about the spontaneous trip to Portland.
By the time we reached the "vista point" (i.e. a gazebo at a gas station) she had relaxed.Hansonius was clearly pumped by the prospect of visiting Powell's City of Books. He is depicted here kneeling in front of a column in front of the store.Here Alishia admonishes Hansonius to spend moderately.Stella contemplates the nature of bookbuying at Starbucks. Will she be more like mommy or more like daddy?

LEGE LIBRUM. Advice well given. As to moderate spending? Pshaw. In moderatio omnes, except in the instance of books. Man does not live by bread alone, which of course implies that he does live a great deal by books, from which follows the inescapable conclusion that one ought to buy as many books as one's pocketbook will possibly allow. And then some.

Well, she looks more like mommy.

She looks more like mommy but she lusts more like daddy after books. You ought to see her gum "Goodnight Moon." It's like she's not getting something in her diet.

where are you staying in Portland? I go there almost twice a year, so I have been everywhere!

RL: The answer to that question is that we are not staying in Portland. We were only able to make a daytrip to that fair city. We are nestled alongside the shores of the Puget Sound in Washington state.
