A few months ago, I hastily registered for this marathon in the hopes of having an excuse to be in town to meet up with a woman I met from Portland.<\/p>\n

In the intervening months, we went on a disastrous date that would’ve made a hilariously awkward Hollywood romantic comedy of errors; unfortunately, as this was real life, it was more a flop sweat Greek tragedy wherein my hubris at thinking a pretty girl would enjoy hanging out with me proved my undoing.<\/p>\n

Long story short, instead of hitting on that girl this weekend, I’m hitting the biggest sights(*) of Portland and then running a marathon.<\/p>\n

So, ya know, pretty much my typical weekend.<\/p>\n

(*) – I should note these may NOT be the biggest sights to see… I’m more likely to seek out tourist traps and WTHDIJDATWFA — What The Hell Did I Just Drive All This Way For Anyway?! sights.\u00a0 But, ya know, it’s all relative.

Still, you’d think that kind of “road less traveled” mindset might be marginally attractive to a pretty girl.\u00a0 Alas, I blew my idiosyncratic date pass long before this weekend.\u00a0 I did try sending her a quick note this week, telling her though I suspected I knew her answer I thought it worth a quick final text to see if she’d be up for a drink while I was in town.\u00a0 Her lack of reply spoke volumes, with crystal clear Dolby\/THX surround sound effects.<\/em><\/p>\n

As I’m wont to do on these travelogue posts from the road, here’s a photo gallery with some hit-or-miss snarky comments\/captions:<\/p>\n
