Picnic 5/16 at NE 22nd & Killingsworth
by Mike on May.12, 2010, under Uncategorized
Change of plans! I’ve been reassigned to 22nd and Killingsworth, the SE corner of Alberta Park.
You know what I love? Bagels.
Mike loves bagels.
I don’t know who has the best bagels in Portland, but I’m going to find them and buy us an assorted dozen on which we will eat sandwiches during this weekend’s Northeast Portland Sunday Parkways. We’ll be at 22nd and Killingsworth, the SE corner of Alberta Park.
I’ll bring fake meat, fake cheese, real lettuce, real red onion, real pickles, real mustard, real Sun Chips and real green grapes. Maybe even an avocado or two. Also a knife, cutting board and some paper towels. You should bring something you like to drink, something to drink it in, and plenty of sunscreen. If you could bring a blanket and/or chairs, that might be cool, too.
I’m on my shift as an “intersection superhero” until 12:30, at which point we can decamp to the park or just sit where we are, waving at happy people.
If that sounds good, sound off!

I’ll try and make this one.

I am planning to come. Lena is unsure of her availability right now but should know more Friday or Saturday. If she can’t come, I might be hoping for some carpool action.
I can bring a blanket and maybe some real cheese and _real_ real pickles.

Let the dill v. sweet battle begin!

I work a few blocks from the BEST bagels in Portland, would you like me to grab a baker’s dozen?

Thanks, Courtney. I’ll be downtown Saturday, so I’ll pick some up then.

I think I will actually be there!

I’ll bring some water and juice and cups.

Lena hasn’t been home for more than 8 hours in a row (yes, including nights) for several days. Between having to do a fair share of the everyday list (gasp!), still having things with my name on them on the “get ready for Mike” list, and the vigorous adventures of various plants, fungi, etc in places we would rather they did not venture I don’t think I will be making it tomorrow after all.
(p.s. The Captcha for this post is “nonrigid Mr” which seemed like it must be related to Courtney and Ben’s cat somehow.)

Sorry we’ll miss you guys, B&L. Your alibi is sound. Take it easy.
Also! Change of plans! I’ve been reassigned to 22nd and Killingsworth, the SE corner of Alberta Park.

Ok, Lena is done this morning earlier than she expected, so it looks like we are going to try and make it after all. I have noted the new address and maybe we will bring some umbrellas too!
