I can\’t believe how many times I have gotten sick this year. As I flew from Portland to Pittsburgh, my pseudo-cold got progressively worse. By the time we landed in a near empty airport of Pittsburgh, my face had turned into mush. Maybe it\’s because I have a lack of sleep.

I\’ll miss the West Coast. Visiting Portland makes me certain that I will return to the LEFT part of the country. Ultimately though, isn\’t it all about the people you\’re with?
