Mileage: 14.7; 118 total.
This was an easy ride down US 30 to meet Leslie, who had flown in to Portland a couple of days ago and driven over to meet me in this little town just to the north-west of Portland. It was great to see her after two weeks, and nice to be heading over to Tracey's for two or three days off the bike. I need a rest -- and a chance to use a computer to post some longer blogs.
Note 1: Yesterday's posting misspelled Scappoose, using one "p" instead of two. My apoligies to all the Scappoosians who may be reading this blog.

I'd be happy to go through and correct more spelling errors. ;)
Say hi to Mom for us and enjoy your visit!
Hi everyone,
This is Leslie, wife of the Fat Man. I just wanted to verify for everyone that yes, Walt is alive and well after riding his first 118 miles, and so far he still looks the same. The weather here in Portland is rainy off and on, but it is a nice, gentle rain with no thunder and lightening.
The neighbor's pine tree is spewing pollen over everything, causing little pine cones to fertilize to produce baby pine trees all over Tracey's driveway. She requested a rubber barrier but so far it is not forthcoming...
That is the extent of the excitement so far -- it is quiet and relaxing here. My sister Tracey has a beautiful farm with lots of space for guests and horses (she has 3 of her own).
Walt's new bike is beautiful, and he really enjoys it. I am so proud of his practical approach to everything. We are looking for lighter weight approaches to his life for the next few months and are finding some great solutions. It certainly is a different lifestyle from New York City, and I am sure a welcome change.
More comments from "the wife of the fat man" to follow and various points in time...
