So we loaded up the Zipcar and headed to Pix patisserie on Division. Every visit of Josie's must include dangerous amounts of sugary goodness. The Jubilee dessert is DE-LEEEEE-SHOOS.

We headed out to crowded Oak's Park by Sellwood for the sole purpose of skating in the musky, ghetto skating rink they have there. It's a tradition that will continue whenever I visit Seattle next. Sadly, neither of us have fallen down gracefully. At some point it HAS to happen, come on.

Batman and Barney: A love that dare not speak its name.

Because we are geeks and were on the hunt for any fun free activities to participate in, we attended the Woodlawn (my old neighborhood) Plays in the Park rendition of the classic Star Trek episode, Amok Time. HELLZ YEAH. Me being a Trekkie, I got quite a kick out of this, and so did everyone. The cast and crew did an excellent job!

Our stomachs called our attention and I phoned Miss Ann to meet us at one of my favorite Portland pizza spots, Good Neighborhood Pizza, site of my very first meal in this fine town a year ago. Ann is a photographic and comedic genius. I hearts her.

And she hearts Russ, who is a mighty funny dude, and are getting married later this year in what I'm sure will be quite the most awesome party I'll attend! Ann showed us her bionic dance moves and told us how her mother, after viewing Grease on the big screen, warned her NEVER to change for a man, like Sandra Dee just did. NEVER. Ann just wanted to see John Travolta.

Flashin' gang signs.

The vixens.

The following Sunday Josie and I visited Sauvie Island. Now, we're Puerto Rican, we don't consider a river shore to be a beach, but this will do for now.

It was such a fun weekend!! I miss you, Josie! Let's hang out again and document our CUTTING-EDGE DANCE MOVES....WHILE ON A CAR. A best-seller, I tell ya.
