Il knows all the geeks but he doesn&#8217;t come outside very often except to ride his bike. My part of the deal was to help Il drag his garden shed through his backyard of thistles so it wasn&#8217;t leaning up against his house. He has painters coming to this week, I guess, and he couldn&#8217;t move the shed by himself.<\/p>\n<p>The things I do to get myself out of the house.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sometimes Burgerville is one of the better places to go for burgers in Portland.
