I’m still sick.  I keep having these violent sneezes that sap all my energy.  I’ve still got something for you to read, though, courtesy of the Willamette Week.  If you watch Live @ 7 on KGW in Portland, you might have seen some of these items, but there’s much more!  Willamette Week has a whole section of recession busters, with nine different articles on things like free food, home and pantry, and outdoors and travel. These are pretty much Portland-only, though — sorry, everyone else!

None of these are a substitute for daily frugality, of course, but there are a lot of fun ideas and opportunities.
