The Whole Sick Crew

[Bekah]

The Rare Book Room is on the "grey" level (I remember that!)  and  
it's a wonderful, wonderful place whether or not they have William  
Pynchon.

And Portland is a lovely and very progressive city -  I'm considering  
it as a winter retirement location - (3 years?)  -  Um,  how cold  
does it get there in the winter?  Wind?  Etc?  (The spring, summer,  
fall  selection is, seriously,  North Dakota - near Grand Forks.)
