Best Day Ever: Charles Froelick

🐶 He and his partner Scott walk them through Wellington Park, then Rose City Golf Course "for views of our local volcano, Mount Tabor."

🍜 Lunch: Pho at MeKha.

🛍️ A shopping stop at Bolt. "It has a unique fabric collection, they have great colors and patterns. We also like Rerun2 on Sandy for furniture, housewares and oddities. Cool people with a good eye."

🎨 Carve out "some time in my garden or my studio," adds Froelick, who has a BFA in sculpture from the University of North Texas.

🍷 When it's wine o'clock, his favorite place to buy wine is Mom and Pop Wine Shop.

• "The owners Telina and Dan talk about the wine like it's art criticism, they go into the history. While there, you should check out Dan's anagama fired ceramics."

🥩 Dinner: Clyde's Prime Rib, any night of the week.

• "On Sunday evenings, the Ron Steen Jazz Jam is a great time."
• They have red leather banquettes and serve dinner in the bar.
• "I get the prime rib, it's still my favorite in town. Clyde's opened in 1955, has a great history in old Portland. The interior is unique and likely original… a mix of old clubby steakhouse and dark and sexy lounge."
