In case you were wondering what I was working on last weekend (and several weeks before that), here it is:
I had 19 pages of notes for this one story! I'm hoping I can repurpose some of that research for other story ideas moving forward -- and I am open to suggestions.
Still, I had a great time talking to all of these folks. I'd love to work on more pieces like this one. The editor has already assigned me another "news of the weird" story....

Jen, as the former secretary-treasurer of the Akron Junior Aerial
Phenomena Investigating Society, I congratulate you on a fine UFO
story. As a kid growing up in Ohio, I knew about the Trents and
McMinnville long before I ever knew where Oregon was. It's too late to
offer a UFO festival story to Via magazine (the Oregon AAA mag), but
you should pitch something for next year.
Looks like you inherited The Oregonian's weird news beat that John
Foyston, Joe Rose and I used to fight over, er, share. I've already
done the Naked Bike Ride, the Eyeball Museum and the HP Calculator
Museum, so you might consider profiling Carye Bye, director of the
Bathtub Art Museum, who leads bicycle tours of tiny, offbeat Portland
museums.

It's a virtual museum, run by an Intel engineer named David Hicks.
Find it at http://www.hpmuseum.org/. He has most of the physical
calculators at his home, but doesn't reveal the location for fear
someone will steal these very valuable devices.
