I've mentioned several times that Portland is an absolute joy for people who love coffee. While it's true that there are coffee shops on just about every street corner, there's one that holds a special place in my heart—Stumptown Coffee Roasters. It's not a quiet place, nor den with loads of comfy couches, but it's friendly, bright, and it has incredible freakin' coffee. Their regular is roasted, liquified crack. It's thick, dark, incredibly strong, and still cheaper than all the others I've been to, chain or otherwise.

Since I work from home, some days that I don't go to campus can get monotonous. There's nothing that helps better than getting out into the world and working a bit from here. Here's a view from the bar where I'm typing this.

After having the wettest January in 36 years, the sun is shining at near blinding levels today. I think I'll finish my coffee and go for a walk.
