Fascinating stuff you pick up while having the History channel on for background noise as you do things: Portland, Ore.'s name was decided by a coin toss. The two guys who wanted to name it wanted to do so after their hometowns. Thus, Portland, Maine, beat Boston, Mass.
Speaking of Portland, here's a look at my friend Ben McLeod's 52 IPAs blog (mmmm. . . . beer). Ben, who just moved out to Portland this year, has set a goal of sampling and photographing 52 IPAs this year. Hey, you gotta strive for something. Wish I had his ambitions.
And if nothing else, this blogging has given Matt and I's friend Maureen an outlet for her opinions. Her blog can be found here.
