Two Thumbs Up

This afternoon I was invited to a special Portland screening of the British movie "The Damned United." The movie is based off the true story (and book) of English Football manager Brian Clough’s tragic and short 44-day tenure as coach of the reigning champions of English Football Leeds United.

I highly recomend this movie and I'm told the book is great as well.

Home Style

Today I found a cool cafe to chillout at and drink my afternoon coffee. The place is called Rocking Frog Cafe and it's located at 25th & SE Belmont here in Portland, OR.

The cafe is located in an old house and Has many rooms as well as a backyard to kick back in. This place has a great wifi connection and is populated with PDX creative types working away and drinking coffee.

I for sure will be back for another cup or two in the future.
