A full week of live music, film nights, dance events and community gatherings fills the Gorge from Nov. 18–24, with shows spanning The Dalles, Hood River, Cascade Locks and Trout Lake.

This year started out optimistic and full of hope. New opportunities, new goals, and the kind of early-season promise that makes a farmer stand a little taller. But if life — and agriculture — have taught me anything, it’s this: don’t count your chickens before they’re hatched.

The plan was for the rescue dog I’d chosen to be crammed in a crate and driven by van from Texas to The Dalles.

After a flurry of text messages, they reported the van left on Monday evening.
