Some good news: I'm going on another fun short road trip to Eugene, OR with my IRL friend @popegrutch tomorrow. 

Some mixed-blessing news: 
- The trip is for apartment-hunting because he got a great new library job there that sounds perfect for him. Yay! 
- Which means he's moving out of Portland soon and we'll no longer be able to get together often. *sad face* 

I do love Eugene, and this gives me another reason to consider moving back there at some point. 

But I'm sure gonna miss our monthly get-togethers and errand-friend outings in Portland. 

(I'm hoping he'll return to casting here about old movies, books, and his cat eventually; in the meantime I'll just keep tagging him and talking about him as if he were here. Maybe it'll work... haha).

I don't drive anymore, so it's not too often that I get to go on road trips. 

Two road trips in the same month is almost unheard of.

I also contacted a couple of other friends who live in Eugene to let them know I'd be in town, and I might even be able to swing a short meetup for tea with them too. Hope so!

Road trip!!!!!
