This weekend we kept very, very busy. I'm sad now that I didn't have my camera for all of it:
Friday night I worked at PCS.
Saturday morning we got up early and went to a Meet in Portland event..ice carving demonstration on Pioneer Courthouse Square! It was a really neat idea, but it wasn't quite as spectacular as I had imagined it would be because the carver carved with a chainsaw and other power tools. I guess I was thinking it would be a fine-tuned artistic craft with little ice picks. oh well!
Then we walked around town for a while and went to a cool restaurant/bar called Jax.
That night we went to ASL comedy night at Embers, one of my co-workers was performing in it!
Then we wandered around the NW 23rd area and got gelato and a Beatles CD.
Today we went to the Rose City Classic dog show!!!!! Kim came with us and it turned out to be really fun. The best part was the big dog agility trials--they had these bars to jump over just like in horse shows, and they ran through these tunnels. They also had agility for smaller dogs, including a bona fide hoop to jump through, and we saw all the vendors with their crazy "i love dogs" paraphrenalia (kim was especially taken with an enormous, stuffed, noise-making hedgehog dog toy), and we even snuck to the back room to see the behind the scenes action (including dog washing, grooming, brushing, primping, and other things I wasn't sure about).
Then we came home to watch the Colts beat the Patriots..a very exciting game!~
Altogether a fun weekend...now back to work!

Have you ever watch sand sculptors? That might be more your speed, Jules... much more delicate, and I promise, no chainsaws!
We put on a conference/workshop last week for work (I taught three sessions!) and there was another event at the same hotel--complete with ice sculptures!!! Uncanny, wouldn't you say?
Sounds like a spectacular weekend, all in all. I especially like that you visited a bar called "Jax." It's like my spirit is all over Portland.
