We were thinking of doing two "reveals" or something of that sort. But...in the end, all of our family are several hours away. It'd take a lot of coordination and cost to get people together to do a reveal or get some sort of "remote" reveal going.
OT: The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel.

Two words: Facebook Live
Congrats, BTW.
I have a cousin who's first full term pregnancy was twins that were a boy and a girl.
It was a bit of a miracle because of a variety of health issues that she could be really happy with one pregnancy and being done with having kids.

Yeah, I agree with @Jim Bob ’s suggestion of Facebook live. My brother in law did it about a year ago. If not live, you could just record it and send it.
My kids were born before this was a thing, but if it does interest you there are plenty of ways to do it from afar.
Wrapping up my time in Portland. Time for the redeye back east.
I needed the break. I met a friend for a meal, sat and talked about life in and around my trevails but beyond that as well. It was existentially refreshing.
Oh, and also vegan strip clubs.

So i'm confused. Are the strippers vegan? Do they serve vegan food? Don't use leather clothes for anything?

Portland is definitely one of the cities I would like to visit when the kids are grown and gone and my wife and I can travel more.

I thought it was a club for people that like vegan options to chicken strips???

Both my wife and I have visited Portland (separately, before we were married). We both loved it. Good energy to the city, not too big, not too small. The Columbia river valley is gorgeous. Excellent beer in the region. The Oregon coastline is the most beautiful one I've seen in my limited travels. One could pick a far worse place to live a life. Only downside is traveling I-5.

The toughest part about any potential move once the kids are grown and gone is that any place that we might move to will likely have much more expensive housing options than our house in Rochester.

Yeah, but your combined City / County / School property taxes will likely drop by several hundred dollars per month, and you'll be "buying" / paying a mortgage on an asset which will appreciate a higher incremental amount each year for identical rates of appreciation in the two locales.

That's great, but it still won't make up the gap.
If you look at places like Austin or Portland, a comparable house to ours that cost around $130k is probably $300k+.
I've looked.

I’ve had an interesting week. Fell at work yesterday, which led to a persistent headache. Went to get checked out today; they put me in a neck brace and had me do two ct scans. Results negative but I’m on workman’s comp the rest of the week.
