Strange but true: It really is kinda romantic to kiss someone goodbye at the train station, even though non-passengers aren't allowed on the platform any more. It helps that Union Station is almost entirely old marble. After I kissed him and he went onto the platform, I took my bike to the pedestrian path that goes over it, and managed to find Shawn wrestling with his bike box one last time. When he was done I yelled his name, and he looked around confused for a second before I said, "Look up!" He saw me and grinned. "Whatcha doin' up there?" "Lookin' at youuuuuu!" It was awesome.

Tonight I'm gonna let myself mope a bit. But just tonight.

Tomorrow is ArtCrank, the kick-off event for Oregon Manifest. All sorts of bicycle-themed posters will be on sale, all for $30 a pop. Yes, Shawn will have stuff there, although I'd probably go anyway.

This weekend is EarthenGrove's retreat. Which reminds me, I need to write a ritual. Next week at some point I'm camping with seams_unusual at the coast...

Hah! Glad I'm not the only one!! Did you get on the pedestrian overpass to yell goodbye again?

The bus to Tillamook stops at Union Station, and the first time we came back from the coast, he took me up there to watch the train leave. So I knew it was up there.

The supports for it are interesting--it bounces and wobbles a little when people walk on it.
