I was wondering how D17 was faring in Portland, one of my favorite cities. I have several very good friends there, and would consider moving there is the right job turned up.
I agree w/ Nik. Your D is in your very capable hands, and while it will be a hassle, she couldn't have a better, more knowledgeable advocate in YOU!
