A message to our Portland host
His last night visiting Portland, Steven drew the above cartoon at the house we were staying. An artistic gesture of gratitude: A lone Cactus-Boy, thanking our host, Sonia.
The only problem: Cactus-Boy’s glum facial expression could be misinterpreted. We certainly didn’t want Sonia to misunderstand or think we were weirdos.
Luckily, a simple annotation 100% fixed the potential weirdo vibe:
In hindsight we realized Cactus-Boy looks a bit sad. But that’s only because no one will give him a hug. We had a great time! Please don’t let Cactus-Boy’s sad face distract from that! He’s just lonely, and blowing up that heart balloon was probably really hard…
Seriously, we had an amazing time — So thanks!
That ought to clear things up and completely dissuade her from thinking we’re weirdos. Crisis averted. Problem solved. Mission accomplished.
Because for real, we had fun. Honestly. :(

My first time in New Orleans! I tried to visit back in October, but couldn’t fit it in my schedule. But I’m really glad I got the opportunity now. The laid-back attitude is infectious and reminiscent of Portland — Exactly what I needed after a few months in New York City. I hope to find myself wandering those streets again.
