You’ve had a long day at some boring business meeting. You’ve been trapped at a wedding for a member of your spouse’s family you’ve never even met. You just need a break, a moment to breathe.

Well, if you’re in town between Sept. 14 and 16 you might head over to the Portland Japanese Garden. I’d say it’s always a good solution for a tough day (especially the rock garden, which will take the edge off as well as any pinot). But on these nights they welcome visitors for O-Tsukimi, or moon viewing.

If my calendar is right, the full moon falls on Sept. 14, but all three nights are likely to be good viewing. Check the forecast. And if you’re dubious that merely taking in the moon will do the trick, try a cup of sake as an accompaniment. That should do it.

See ya,
Emily
