Good morning, Portland.

“Met up with a dude off of OkCupid. He showed up wearing house slippers and sweatpants because he’d been ‘day drinking to get rid of his hangover.’ (It was 10 pm when we met). He told me he was still hungover from an OKC date he had the night before. When I asked if he wore condoms, he said aggressively, ‘What? No. I’m 34 and never wear condoms—I’m clean. I mean, I probably have HPV, but I dunno, men can’t get tested for that shit.’ “He paid for my drinks and I ordered him a Lyft home from his phone.” — JoAnn Schinderle, dating podcast co-host

Portland’s Doernbecher Children’s Hospital, the Oregonian reports, “is experiencing a surprising and perplexing increase in patient infections caused by central lines that are inserted to deliver drugs, fluids or nutrients.”

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Gerrit Cole had a hell of a time at last night’s Capitals-Penguins game. I love his passion.
