At the end of February, I moved to a little town about 30 minutes north of Portland. The circumstances leading up to the move were not the best, and I wanted only to sit quietly and lick my wounds after I arrived. I made no effort to meet other ex-JWs in the area.
The move to Oregon has turned out to be one of the best moves I've made in my life. Both my son and I are flourishing here.
This Friday evening I'm venturing into the big city of Portland because a musician I admire will be playing in a pub there. If any Portland folk are interested in meeting up there, please e-mail me at [email protected]. I don't at all pretend that this will be an Apost-O-Fest of the epic proportions of those in Dallas and elsewhere. I imagine a quiet evening with good music and a bit of conversation. I must dash back home fairly early afterwards to be rested and ready for a day on the water.
Shameless plug for Sail for the Cure:

The concert begins at 8 pm on Friday, September 20. I finish up with work at 6 pm and hope to arrive about 7:30 pm or so.
Please let me know if you're interested. I also humbly beg forgiveness from Hillary_step for riding the coattails of his thread. It could be worse, I suppose--I could be riding a scarlet colored wild beast.
