July 28 – Aug. 4<\/p>\n

Back in NYC after three glorious weeks in Portland, Or. I\u2019ve been making my yearly sojourn for a long time. When I first went to Portland, the temperature was a perfect 72 degrees and no humidity. Since then it\u2019s climbed. This time at least seven of the days were 95 degrees. Nothing like experiencing global warming to know it\u2019s not a figment of the imagination.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We went to a Saturday night concert at the Oregon Zoo. It was packed. The Taj Mahal & Keb\u2019 Mo\u2019 Band strummed and sang for about two hours to the delight of the enormous crowd. We were armed with beer, wine, corn dogs and \u00a0umbrellas\/parasols to ward off the before mentioned global warming.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Table talk. For years I\u2019ve spotted portable tables with at least six people racing around Portland. It\u2019s the Peddle Club.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

People sit around a table equipped with pedals and peddle their table through Portland while they drink great Portland beer and wine. I\u2019ve been told that it exists in NYC but I\u2019ve never seen it in action.<\/p>\n
