Portland

Light posting this week from me, though I've received notarized assurances that your other Team Dizzies members will be filling in...I'm in Portland—I just saw someone cruise by on a skateboard! (I don't know if that's particularly Portland-y, but it looked that way from here/as it happened.) Ooh, guy just rode by on a bike, wearing a helmet—looked like he was going to work.

There are numerous trees and it is incredibly overcast, but I like it!

For now: Nice notice from Dwight Garner at the NYT's Paper Cuts blog, re the latest issue of The Believer ("stuffed with things I know I'm going to want to—have to—read"). Yowza!
