Turns out that I had to MAC-authenticate to get on the wireless network here at the hotel, and given that it was really late when I got in last night, I just decided not to fool with it.

Flights were nice; I finished Blue Like Jazz—which I recommend, Rick —on the first leg of the trip, which meant that I was left to my standard airplane fare [namely The Economist and the Harvard Business Review] for the second leg.

It’s a gray, rainy day here in Portland, although right now it looks like it’s going to clear up a bit. I hope so. It’s been too rainy for me to feel like I can haul out my camera [although I drove around with it for a while]. I’m saving my Powell’s run for tomorrow when I won’t be fighting the 9-to-5 crowd.

[Yes, I will write much more about BLJ. I'm still processing all of it.]
