I wish the San Francisco Symphony would visit Portland on their way to Seattle in 2 weeks. I hope global warming makes Portland's weather resemble southern California's, drought and all. (Is that too much to ask, note I refrained from wishing the Concertgebau Orchestra visit Portland, which is my deep down fantasy...)
