Oh, indeed, though its sort of started cooling down a little bit. I need to get my mother to shave it further back for me (she's great about such things) if I can't get someone else to do it. The real air conditioning comes from shaving the back of the head, though. I just realized that I probably didn't become more heat sensitive when I moved back from Portland, OR in '99... It was probably that I stopped shaving my head at all (sometimes just the back, pretty far up, and sometimes sides and back)for the first time in 13 or 14 years. Gods. How stupid... to just realize that...
What was your experience of living in Portland? I've considered it myself at times... (even though at my core, I know there's an ExPat waiting to come out.)
Had it not been for the stupid personal crap I was dealing with... it would have been an amazing place, and I would probably have stayed forever. It's so easy to meet people there. To live there. Or it was 12 years ago, at any rate. Our visit for the HPL film festival lead me to believe that it really hasn't changed all that much. It's so easy to walk anywhere you need to. Unlike a lot of places, it really does live up to the first impression.
