Quick note

My friend D. is doing okay. Her pictures showed something weird, but in follow up, it was just fine. She’s feeling more confident and is as relaxed as ever.

Today must be a day to reflect. I sat down and read yesteday’s Seattle PI, the Life and Arts section, while I ate lunch. There was an interview of Augusten Burroughs, who wrote the book Running with Scissors. He’s on the road promoting his new book, Possible Side Effects, a collection of personal essays.

Art on the public tab

Seattle’s propping up her aging facial features with several projects. The latest one is detailed here. I agree that the 10 acre corridor from Green Lake to Ravenna is ugly. Most everywhere in Seattle where I-5, or any freeway, span the city, it’s a pit. But, is it worthy of a $300,000 facelift, courtesy [...]

My friend D.

I saw my friend D. yesterday. We’ve been trying to arrange going on a hike together, but our schedules have been conflicting so it hasn’t materialized. While we chatted about our schedules, she casually mentioned she went to the doctor for a physical and a mammogram– and that she had to go back for a [...]

Tasering– it’s not just for humans

A black bear was tasered by Seattle police on Saturday, May 20th. According to the Seattle PI article, the two doses of tranquilizer darts and the two bouts of Tasering by local police officers was too much for the bear. The “150 to 175 pound” animal was approximately three years old and died soon after [...]

Garden Huzzah

I ~finally~ got my veggie garden in. I’m probably one of the last people in the world to get’r done. I’m even later than my 82 year old father– he put in his garden last weekend.
I should be more specific with my description; I ~finally~ put in my annual veggie garden. I have herbs and [...]

AIC review (sort of)

Gene Stout, the Seattle PI “POP MUSIC CRITIC,” was kind enough to write up a review on last night’s AIC show. You can read it here. While I don’t consider Alice in Chains “pop music” per say, this concert was pretty big news on the local music scene, which has been kind of [...]

A night of singing

Rosie and I went to see Little Kay sing his heart out. He was adorable, from the top of his shiny, brown hair, to his snazzy blue Hawaiian shirt, to the tips of his trusty tenny-runners. The theme of his concert was farm animals, so we got to hear such esteemed barnyard favorites like Farmer [...]
