The Honeymoon is Over . . .

Wedding Photo. . . literally, but not figuratively!

Heather and I returned from the wilds of Eastern Oregon last night. We had an amazing vacation, which my wife [will I ever get used to saying that?] has begun chronicling with an account of the first stop on our trip, in Salem, the Oregon State Fair!

That was just the first half-day of our trip, however, so stay tuned for lots more. We also visited old friends in Bend, had an almost double rainbow experience in the Painted Hills, found Big Lebowski fanatics in Prairie City, froze our tushes off at Wallowa Lake, drank delicious beer in Enterprise and Joseph, and completely unplugged and read books in the Imnaha River Canyon, to name a few memories from our epic honeymoon!

Blogging here shall recommence immediately. Thank you for your patience!

Dave Goes . . . on his Honeymoon!

Wedding PhotoNote: The blog won’t be completely idle while I’m gone – I’ve written a few event posts that are scheduled to appear throughout the week.

Heather and I are hitting the road on another of our Oregon adventures. It’s our honeymoon!

We’ll be back next weekend with stories and posts and lots of photos.

During the week we’ll largely be off the grid, but keep an eye out for us on Twitter (@DaveKnowsPDX and @Mile73), which we’ll no doubt update if we find even the weakest signal out in the wilds!

Dave Knows Turns 3!

3rd Birthday at Farrell'sThree years ago today this blog was born. Over 1024 posts and 1871 comments later, there’s no end in sight – seems like there’s something interesting going on all the time in Portland, and I have yet to run out of opinions!

Fittingly, the first post was about beer. Later that first week I blogged about the Timbers for the first time. As long time readers know these are recurring themes at Dave Knows Portland.

In the blog’s inaugural year, I averaged 4.9 posts per week. Last year I got that to 5.1, and now it’s up to 6.5. The last few months I’ve averaged close to two posts a day. Visitor traffic is up too, of course, but the frequency of posts is the most interesting statistic to me personally. It’s an indicator of how much I enjoy researching, writing, sharing, and interacting with readers. This blog provides plenty of opportunity for all of these.

So on that note I want to thank you for reading, commenting, and linking – this blog would be rather pointless without you!
