Where I like to write in Portland… When I look for a restaurant to write in I have to goldilocks the chairs. Every where I go, because of my scoliosis, I goldilocks the chairs. So in Portland I like to write at the Petite Provence on Alberta because their chairs are just right. They are the groovy kind, French bistro-like, woven out of black and white plastic on a rattan frame. I ride my bike in the morning rain and claim the corner table where I can look up and see pastry. The wait staff already knows me and one of them, calls me Honey.
