Before it gets too out of date, I should metion my Valentine's Day. I spent the day in Portland with Lisa, my friend Anthony from high school, and his wife (!) Kylene. Basically we spent the whole day drinking. First we went out for lunch, where we each had a beer. Then we went to a sake factory, where we sampled eight different kinds of sake. Then we said, "let's keep drinking!" so we went to a winery and tried four or five different wines. Then we went back to Anthony and Kylene's place and decorated cookies, made fondue, played games, and drank more wine. Quite a nice day indeed.
