Everything seems to be doing okay.

Portland, OR, Seattle and the Pacific beaches....
Broke as hell, so just doing beaches and hiking....Nothing touristy, but the Wife is from there so the tourist stuff doesn't hold much appeal...

She doesn't want to go back on the meds they think caused her rash so she told the doc she is still itching.

Well, I can understand that....But is it something she REALLY needs????

You've probably been there before then. I always wanted to go there. I think Oregon, Washington and Alaska are the only states I haven't been in.

She grew up in Redmond WA before MicroSoft....It was a cow town when she lived there...

It is supposed to extend the effectiveness of her cancer meds by up to double the time period. So if she can take it, I should get a couple extra years out of her. Hopefully they will have a new treatment by then also.

Portland, OR is a great people watching town....It's where all the 1960's hippys have gone to die....
Since I am an early riser (and the wife isn't) I always go to the nearest Starbucks just to people watch and listen to hippy/Lib conversations...

Dang, I hope that she finds something she can tolerate....

You forgot to say you are getting rocks. Lots of rocks

Her Son (31 or 32?) still lives in Seattle....But he is in Hawaii working for his Grandpa for 4 months.

His Grampa runs a couple of tourist trap stores there. He can't travel for any length of time unless he can get some family in to "watch the store"....
