Top things I Miss from Eugene

5. No Traffic! Need I say more?

4. The Strand! I still haven't found a place that's as cool of a hang-out-and-get-work-done sort of place as the Strand. They have Cosmic PIzza, good coffee, beer, couches, and Wi-Fi. What more could a Ben ask for?

3. The Bike paths! Portland is supposed to be the #1 bike friendly city in the U.S. Whatever. Sure, they have street signs for bikes (7 minutes ==> to downtown, etc.) and lots of bike lanes, they don't have many bike PATHS. Eugene's awesome bike paths through the woods are so relaxing, refreshing, and pleasant that I miss them all the time. Enjoy them if you're there :)


2. Friends! (In alphabetical order)

• Andy! I'm still seeing him quite a bit, as he's commuting up here for lots of comedy shows. Also, he's probably moving here eventually (although he doesn't know it yet), so that's even better! I am going through seriuos Hwah Hwah Hwah withdrawal up here! However, rest assured, the memes are spreading... Sarah said 'That didn't happen' just yesterday. First time I'd heard her say it. She didn't even know where she got it from... but I do! Hwah hwah hwah!

• David! He was my go everywhere with, do everything with bud for over 2 years solid and I never got sick of him. Great guy, and he's going to San Diego to explore new horizons down there! I'm happy for him getting a move-on and striking out on his own, but I'll miss him. I'm sure he'll come to visit, though :)

• Everybody else! Sorry, no time to list everyone separately. There are lots of great peeps in Eugene, and I miss you all.

1. Family! This one is actually only half-true so far. I've seen my family more after moving to Portland than before, so that's awesome. However, you're still #1. Also, I get to go on a trip with Joe to see the G-parents soon. Yay! Maybe we can go hiking or something later on with Dad, too...

Cheerio!

Good list! We are honored to have made Number One on it. Thanks. It has been nice seeing you more often.

Bug Dad about a hike. He could use a good diversion and rest. And yes, YAY, that you are going down to see the Gparents. Have fun!
