Congrats on the move to Portland! City of the Roses. It's a wonderfull city, even better for you since it's home.
Oregon has only one problem as far as I"m concerned (well, two, but we'll leave the conversation about overlogging for another time). The water off the coast is cold. Really cold. Too cold.
I guess if the water was warm and there were reefs it would be Heaven, so He had to leave some imprefection so folks there would have something to look forward to in the afterlife.
I'll bet you just pine away missing ol' Oklahoma!
