So, we all pack our bags and head to the delicately beautiful Oregon coast for the weekend: Norris, Alex, Truman, Nik, Kent and I. We rent a house in Manzanita (about 20 miles south of popular Cannon Beach) from a friend of Norris's. It's amazing. It's decorated in an elaborate cowboy theme. It's like sleeping in a popular culture museum. Shadow boxes artistically display everything from Trigger pails, Indian maiden dolls, cowboy pinball games and ceramic covered wagons. One window sill has a display of about 50 miniature cowboy boots. The games in the closets are all cowboy games, puzzles and cards. It's cowboy dishes, saddles, portraits, photos, cowboy bar artifacts, whips, cowboy hats, etc., etc. It's so powerful it feels like it should affect our dreams. But it's immaculate, cozy and well-equipped.
