Grady Britton Brightens Day, But Evades Victory

The GB Griffins started off hot, but their fire was cooled by the current of Upstream Advertising.  Despite their good looks, effortless style and superior bike riding abilities, the Griffs couldn’t get it done at Wilshire Park.

In a 12 – 5 decision, Upstream Advertising cooled the red-hot GB squad.  The Griffs were unbeaten this season coming into the match.  However, the “crack” of  bat seemed to find Upstream’s lofty shots long and in the gaps.

A strong showing by both squads.  One spectator commented “That was the single greatest display of athleticism I have ever witnessed”.   The Griffins are looking ahead to the next battle, with new uniforms rumored to be arriving soon.

Injury Report:

Scott – “All over” hurt (late game “slide” to 3rd)

Michael – dive + knee + ground = no more leg modeling

Bryan – Bruised ego, mouth of dirt (traction problem)

Bonus:

note:  Upstream Advertising is actually Downstream Advertising.  I’m just cheeky and a poor loser.

Okay, so…I admit it.  I’ve been a major slacker, and today I got had.  I’ve been moving in to the new NW Portland digs and haven’t spent much time working the blog muscle. Normally, a month between blog  posts would be okay.  A little lame…but still okay.  But today Grady Britton shone a little bit of light on this little narcissistic little niche in cyberspace I have carved out for myself in their blog.

So, little bit embarrassing to not have posted in over a month.  Nevertheless, the people that I have been in contact with seem uber cool, and want to welcome me into their “nest”, how cute :) .  One of the resons they are one of the best companies to work for in Oregon, per chance? (5th best to be exact)

Portland has been my second home for over a year now.  I really thought I had a handle on things.  I was going to stoll in, and act like I knew my shit.  Seasoned veteran of the urban landscape, I envisioned.  Well try telling that to my abandoned bicycle, two parking tickets, numerous overpriced drinks and my now deflated ego.  Don’t get me wrong.  Portland is still one of my favorite cities.  I heart the bike-friendly, more refined older brother that Portland has been to me, now I just have to live in a two bedroom apartment with him.  I’m sure we’ll be fine.  Let’s make beautiful things together.  Godspeed.
