    Wonderful day, today. Went for a hike along the lovely Eagle Creek Trail in the Columbia Gorge. Was a little muddy but hauntingly beautiful with wisps of fog, moss-covered everything and the sun choosing moments to stream through the trees. Saw many, many waterfalls and the Punch Bowl Falls which were raging something fierce. T. and I, his coworker Helen and her dog, Harley, a Boston Terrier. All chatting and sharing stories and having a good time. Finished with a fat hamburger in a little pub with Black Butte Porter and a smoke.
