I first moved to Portland when it was dying its prior slow screaming death, in winter 2002. The city recovered and I left for a few years as a part of the East Coast/West Coast writer loan program. Now I'm moving back Portland, right smack in the middle of another econo-meltdown. Just so we're clear: when I'm there, the economy improves. So sorry I left and put you all in the lurch.

A - "Who's got the fanciest pants now??" - uh, no brainer, YOU do, Brockman B - "Sweet mother of God, we're doomed! It's the Dark Ages all over again! Boil your books! Kill the women and children first!!!" I don't even work there (nor have I BEEN there) but this crazy talk makes my stomach hurt!! This is the time for all good people of the book (sorry, Geraldine, it fits in the line)to band together...walking, talking, Kindle with massaging attachments be DAMNED!! I refuse, refuse I tell you, to buy a book anywhere but Powell's!!! Folks, our favorite bookstore of all space, time and universe needs us now, more than ever! Cash in your 401 K's (oh, wait, that probably won't help.) Half of my paycheck usually goes to you guys anyway, what else can I do???? Help me, help you!! To quote Bill Murray, "I'm doin' the work, I'm not a slacker!!" Does anybody have a Xanax to go with my bottle..er...I mean glass of wine??????
