DARK MOON RISING

The dark moon hit my eye last night in Portland, Oregon.
Tucked away on the 14th floor near the Willamette River with friends and drinks, I interrupted everything for a special announcement:

WOODEN BOATS, EARTH DAY, DEPOE BAY, OREGON CRAB. AND BEER

What do you call fooling around with wooden boats? Fun. That’s what Ratty says: “There is nothing — absolutely nothing — half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats.
