Day 65: (Rain and Cycling)

That’s an interesting title considering that I biked into work today and it didn’t rain a drop and then when I left work this evening it was also not raining.  I think I chose the title because at the moment it is in fact, raining.  My back is to the window but I can hear the rain falling outside.  Also, I do not feel as though it is an entirely misleading post title because I ride my bike year around and have pedaled in more than my share of extremely cold, wet days.  Perhaps I am being prophetic and I know that tomorrow morning I will be riding my bike to work in full rain gear.  Or perhaps not.  Who knows.  Sometimes a title is just a title and we shouldn’t read too much into it.

And to change gears I should also mention that I simply adore my new myTouch 3G and will be posting a personal review of it shortly.  I still haven’t had a lot of time to play around with it but so far I am pleased with the Android platform and my favorite feature is GPS with the Google Maps, mainly because I am simple minded when it comes to things like that and it amuses me to no end.

Additionally, I am still tracking towards opening my own design studio here in Portland by summer.

Winter = Coffee

Satellite Coffee - Another View

As the chilly days of winter are now upon us it is time to reflect on the necessities of life in the Pacific Northwest.  Coffee.  And plenty of it.  But I also need to pay my respects to one of the best damned coffee places that I have ever had the pleasure to frequent in my many travels.  When in Albuquerque, New Mexico make it a point to visit Satellite Coffee.  You’ll find a relaxed atmosphere and of course, great coffee.
