It’s an absolutely gorgeous day in Portland. I’ve been just taking the MAX train around the city, and it’s pretty amazing. I had doughnuts from VooDoo doughnuts. I think Anthony Bourdain let me down there. The doughnuts themselves were good, but they didn’t have the maple bacon doughnuts and the froot loops on my other… Continue reading Gorgeous Day in Portland

I’ve arrived in portland with no drama and am now sitting on the light rail train that will soon be heading toward downtown. This is a moblog entry.
I left my heart in San Francisco
Well, not really. In fact, tonight, I found part of myself. I had dinner with John, someone I used to be romantically involved with. The distance prevented anything serious from ever happening. Tonight I got to meet his new partner, BJ. Now let me preface this by saying that BJ is a personal trainer who… Continue reading I left my heart in San Francisco
Cable Car
DSCN0406 Originally uploaded by mikehillwig. This post is for Sam. When I got to San Francisco two days ago, I said that I’d never been on a cable car. When I leave San Francisco tomorrow, I will still be able to say that I’ve never been on a cable car. The cable car rides are… Continue reading Cable Car
Foreign Cinema
Allan and I had brunch at Foreign Cinema. The food was quite good, but also a tad disappointing. You see, they only serve their mascarpone french toast on Sundays. I ended up having the croque monsieur, which was quite good. It’s a fancy french ham and cheese sandwich. Still, it was good. It went perfectly… Continue reading Foreign Cinema
Shoulder Season
I posted this to another blog and realized that I need to share this here, too. I have this love/hate relationship with my fellow gay men. We can be bitchy, cranky, and fabulous all at the same time. Anybody who knows me can attest to this. Tonight, I was at a bar in San Francisco… Continue reading Shoulder Season
Busy night…
One of the things I love about San Francisco is that I have a few good friends and a ton of memories here. One of the things I hate about San Francisco is the abundance of homeless people who will get in your face while trying to scam money from you. I had dinner at… Continue reading Busy night…
Busy Lazy Day
It’s been a fun morning. I’ve been busy and haven’t done a thing. I woke up and it was raining. I don’t recall ordering rain. Fortunately it has cleared up as the day has progressed. The worst part of the day is that I woke up at 6:00 because my body still thinks its on… Continue reading Busy Lazy Day
San Francisco
I’ve made it to my hotel in San Francisco. The flight was good, long, but good. There was surprisingly little fanfare in New York when we left. The captain did mention that this was their inaugural flight. That all changed when we landed in San Francisco. We were met by firetrucks who saluted us by… Continue reading San Francisco
California Blue
On board a brand-spankin’ new A320 called California Blue. We should be leaving shortly. I’m surprised at the lack of fanfare. This is a moblog entry.
