My random, desktop image of the day is from the archives–2009 to be exact. I need to get back there this summer.

@AndrewG_23 When we last checked in on Andrew Moore we saw that he had been improving on his fantastic Freshman year stats in the early going of the 2014 season. How has he done since?
While he still has good numbers (4-3, ERA below 2.90) his numbers have mostly dropped from his Freshman year. The season is about half over so maybe he can still finish strong. His strikeouts per 9 innings has gone up, and he hasn’t yet given up a home run so those are good signs.

2014 International Show
SOU International Show (Yosakoi dance)
I don’t think a date for this year’s International Show has been officially announced, but I’m guessing it will be May 1, 2014.
Ramen in Portland
Mirakutei ramen in Portland, Oregon
Whenever we visit a “big city” these days we try to find the best ramen they offer. Ten years ago such a thing would be impossible in the USA, but there are now decent ramen shops in some places. Portland is one of them. This time we tried Mirakutei (味楽亭). The waitresses were all Japanese. The cooks were Mexican, but the ramen was still authentic.
Three of us had the, above pictured, Tonkotsu Ramen. One other went with the Original. Everyone was satisfied. The Original is your more typical Japanese ramen. The Tonkotsu is subtle but still wonderful.
Mirakutei is east of the river on Burnside.
