Portland, Friends & Too Much Time...

I found some photo's on my phone that I took while in Portland. The week mostly consisted of hanging out at some bars or at Taj's house. It was great to get out there and then relax and enjoy it. Too many times I go on a trip and get exhausted and by the time I come home I need to relax. It was nice to change it up.

Some skyline pics. I do miss this.










This was the rooftop we climbed the third day I was there. We were absolutely hammered and probably should not of climbed up a fire escape latter to the top of a four story building. But it was fun. This is the view from downtown Vancouver.








There is Taj, climbing up the second time. And the air conditioning unit in the pic is the one that he did a barrel roll off of and twisted his ankle.









After the US lost to Ghana and got kicked out of the World Cup (pardon the pun), Chris, Brandy and I went over to one of their friends house to hang out by the pool and try to cheer up. The ball of hair is Balivor, their dog.










A nice pic of us fighting the sun. That hat is unbecoming of Chris, yet with my white-ness, maybe I should be the one with the hat.


And the too much time on my hands part. I did a score sheet of the All-Star game which was actually rather difficult with the 19 different pitchers that played the game. I checked it out and I am 99% sure that I got it all right. And I am 99% sure that I will not score an All-Star game again.













Well take care everyone, I miss you all and hope you are doing great. I did look to adopt a puppy the other day, but ultimately decided against it. Maybe when I get rolling with a job I'll reconsider.

Later on,
sh
