Back in November I posted a list of things I wanted to do this year as life started to inch toward normal. We’re getting there–albeit slower than I want–and I wanted to revisit my list and review what I’ve got done, what I still want to do, and the new stuff.
Things I’ve done
Survive the plague (So far any way)
Move out of the suburban wastes and back into Portland
Continue my quest to have an Old Fashioned at every bar/pub I visit–especially the dives
Visited a handful of independent bookstores
