This Sellwood teashop caboose and its attachments, is a favorite destination for its unique variety of interesting, out-of-the mainstream, seating options: in a railroad car, or a comfy parlor, or an atrium.    They always seem to aid in making discussions more stimulating.

And yet despite such juicy seating opportunities, we humbly sat outside at the neighboring Grand Central picnic tables, because two of our three bicyclists were in need of their coffees.  Today’s discussion was juicy nevertheless: D and H comparing their entries into step-parenting, and later experiences as their children grew; D’s journey from the Marines to being a hippy living off the land in British Columbia, and ultimately being deported for foolishly not filling out the paperwork that would have qualified him as a landed resident;  G’s humorous anecdotes about his two-year old grand-daughter who is witty with puns.
