    It's depressing how many small businesses have shuttered the last few years... What's your novel about?

    Hope his novel is about how to run a successful coffee shop!

    It’s about kids on the playground during recess, playing a game of knights and chivalry, kind of Peanuts meets Don Quixote or Ivanhoe.

    How long is a typical recess? I must have known that once upon a time!
    Does the novel take place over a single recess period on one particular day, or a year of recesses, or?

    Recesses in the story are about 20 minutes. The story takes place over a year’s worth of recesses.

    We used to take the tram to Doernbecher when my daughter was young - she loved it!

    Ha, I just watched that, and a few other videos on the airport. They did a magnificent job. I can't wait for the final results.

    Oregon weatherman winter is November 1 - February 28, regardless of the solstices or equinoxes. It's like how tomatoes are fruit when they're on the vine but in food they're vegetables.

    They’ve already started building one out in Ridgefield. One exit before the casino.

    I’ve never had In N Out. But many people I’ve talked to have said it’s all hype.
