Hello and welcome to episode 128 of the Thinking El-Sat Podcast in Los Angeles briefly.

I am Nathan Fox with me in Washington, D.C.

Ben Olson.

What's happening, Ben?

Not a whole lot.

You said that, you said briefly yeah I mean that you're Nathan Fox for a

short while or in LA for a short while I'm in LA for a very short while.

I, like I said last time, I had this crazy golf trip to Oregon.

I spent a bunch of time up there getting literally snowed on. I just got back from Portland yesterday, which by the way I love

Portland. Have you spent any time in Portland? Not much. What a great city that is. Boy, it's awesome.

What do you like about it it's just beautiful

small funky fun got all kinds of cool stuff going on there just neat I don't know if

you've never been there it's just a really cool place to explore.

Reminds me of like San Francisco a little bit. It reminds me of Boston a little bit.

I don't know it's just got good stuff going on.

Cool people, good food, good beer and stuff.

It's like cheap.

Oregon's got all these weird laws.

I don't know, it's just a weird funky place.

But anyway, I arrived back yesterday late and then I today I have a house guest arriving from Korea and then I

and then I leave I leave tomorrow for San Diego for another super broy golf trip

This time not in the snow though this time I'll be in San Diego for three or four days and then I'll be back here and things will chill out a little bit.
