This evening, I boarded the Sternwheeler Rose and spent a couple of hours out on the Willamette. I wasn’t alone, mind you. Tonight was the company summer party so the boss and his family were there, as were most of my fellow employees, some of their friends and family, and then there was Kyla and I. We ate, drank, and lounged around while we meandered up and down the river.

I even managed to behave myself: When I waved at the Entercom Portland building, I used all of my fingers.

Perhaps I’m something of a dorky guy, but one of my favorite parts of the evening was going under some of the bridges and spotting details you can’t really discern from above, or at least wouldn’t ordinarily pay attention to. Hey, we get our enjoyment from wherever we can, right?

At any rate, the food and company and accommodations and weather were all excellent. Bravo.
