Portland Happiness Pie Chart

Portland

I've been having too great a time in Portland these last couple weeks. I've been having so great a time, in fact, that I'm officially putting Portland on the list of places I would think about moving to if I ever decided to settle down, move out of the garage, etc. etc.

Why am I having such a great time? you ask. I've made up this handy little chart to help explain. Click on any wedge to get a brief description.

what about women? are there lots of hotties down there? i think that should be apart of your chart, isn't that a huge factor?

Maybe "women" should just be included with "juggling."

Wow, you've got me convinced. I've decide to leave Chris and move to Portland. Although I do have to say I couldn't sympathize with your comment about some days being on the too hot side considering our current home. They say Albuquerque is cooler because of the elevation, but it really just feels like I'm closer to the sun. I want to be in Portland!

We moved from Portland to Bellingham almost two years ago. It's been a difficult adjustment. I LOVE Portland weather and all its big-city conveniences and cool neighborhoods. Its affordable good restaurants. But it was becoming way too dense. In every other aspect it was perfect.
