Seattleites love the outdoors and who can blame them when they live in such beautiful scenery. It seems like everyone there was doing something outdoorsy on Saturday - being on the water, hiking, biking, running, etc. My Saturday was also outdoor activity day. My friend took me kayaking on Lake...
So I see it's been 7 days since my last post. In that time, I've flown on 4 airplanes, photographed 7 families, tidied my house, and hosted a party! I've got lots of great pictures to share from my trip to Iowa City, but it will have to wait. Great Art takes time and patience, my friends. Time and...
Today, I continued my summer streak of leaving the car at home and riding my bike 15 miles to work. Felt pretty strong today on the way in. On the return trip home, I was running a little late and picked up the pace more than usual. It turned into a rocket ride! Maybe it was the geniuine full sugar...
During my Seattle visit I took The Underground tour. Today's Seattle is built on top of the original foundations of the city. This was to prevent flooding since Seattle sits pretty much at sea level. There's a bigger story involved, but basically on this tour you can walk on the original sidewalks...
During my trip to Seattle I got a chance to eat some good food. After I landed we headed to West Seattle, our home base, to The Matador. They have a great happy hour and the most spicy fried calamari I've ever eaten. Yum! My first full day in Seattle was my sightseeing day. This included the...
After a little summer vacation from blogging, I'm back. Hello World! as they say in C Sharp, Powershell, and every other beginner programming class. After you say "hello world" what happens next? Well, that's for us to make happen I guess. A few things stand out over the last month. Cycling: The kid...
This past weekend I made my way out to Seattle and finally visit my friend Judy. To start off the trip I decided to fly Virgin America which TF raves about. What I didn't tell anyone was that I flew first class on my way to Seattle. The difference between first class and economy is more room and all...
1. Getting a kobe burger and poutine from an Airstream lunch truck for lunch. 2. Eating said kobe burger on a park bench on a warm sunny day with a light breeze. 3. Amazon.Fresh grocery delivery. 4. Downtown library. 5. Company BBQ that includes a trebuchet contest and lots of yummy homemade food,...
Announcement: It is totally possible to actually keep walking on an escalator. Totally.
Heart: Barracuda (Live) 1977 Ann and Nancy Wilson of the group "Heart". Barracuda was released in 1977 on the album, Little Queen. Lyrics: So this ain't the end - I saw you again today I had to turn my heart away You smile like the sun - kisses for everyone And tales - it never fails You lying so...
I was in Seattle for business at the end of May and never formally put some pics into a post so here goes. My only regret is that I did not get a good picture of Mt. Rainier because when it finally revealed itself to me (on my way to the airport to leave), I was driving and almost ran off the road....
Seattle Washington, the birthplace of Grunge and Starbucks is one of my favorite cities with a cool and laid back urban landscape that is never too far from nature. This culturally rich city offers, of course, some of the best coffee in the country along with a wide variety of art and museums such...
In chronological order, though I won’t swear to that—even though I’m a complete time-keeping nerdly, I am a bit more casual about it on the weekends: Saw that Vienna Teng added a Seattle stop to her tour schedule. Tickets went on sale at 10:00 and I had mine at 10:35, which was about 3 minutes...
Last rays of light reflecting off the mostly glass buildings, with the moon hanging overhead. Doesn’t get much more beautiful here.
This is the basis for my complaint: http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/local/370097_townhouse09.html (Summary is that Seattle's mayor would like the city to have essentially an HOA governing new townhouse construction, forcing unreasonable design requirements and necessitating higher prices for new...
Went to the waterfront in downtown Seattle in late spring for the lowest tide of the year, -3 feet. Took my lunch break from my job at Cisco in Belltown and walked through the sculpture park and down to the water front. There were some volunteers with pamphlets with several interesting species...
Seattle on a quiet day from my living room.
Spent the early afternoon at the Seattle Aquarium with Katharine, Julie Anne, and Julie Anne’s brother, sister-in-law, and 2-year-old nephew. Adult-beverage time!
Saw WALL·E tonight. GREAT movie. Funny, poignant, amazing animation—the realism at times was utterly striking, in fact the only times I really knew it was an animated film were when the humans of the future were involved. Digital projection so the image was bright and crisp and the sound...
I have been soooo bad about my Etsy Tuesday feature. Well, I have been busy. I went on a road trip and I've been helping move furniture around since we are getting a new floor this week. I'm totally excited about that. No more pee accidents on the carpet for me. yay! Not that I do that anymore....
