What is your favorite place to go in your city?

I got a subtle LDBd yesterday at FOTM. We were sitting at “Fire on The Mountain” and an intricate jazz piece was playing. It took me a while and I had to listen closely, but it was The Little Drummer Boy.
We have a contest, it is kind of like dodgeball, but with a goofy song , and if you hear the little drummer boy, you are eliminated. This was a free pass as the competition doesn’t start until Thanksgiving day.
What a great evening it was. This is where our family had our first family dinner. I think it was 18 years ago. We all went and had wings. (I love their vegan wings.)
and then watched the University of Portland playoff game .
We did the same last night. Just my wife and me. Pilots won last night in penalty kicks. It was quite a game and they advanced to the final 16 as we watched from cold metal bleachers. I love the bluff. We were a little wimpy as we watched the penalty kicks from the warmth of our car.
It was really nice to go back there. We used to watch Meg Rapino and Christine Sinclair play there many years ago. It was my favorite ticket in town and still is. This is despite we now we have major league soccer for both the men and the women.
It’s nice to get back to the basics and what matters in sport.
