Debate Nights
So here we are at the first Democratic debates. The New York Times created a Bingo sheet to play for the debates. Here are my things to watch: How many times will Elizabeth Warren use the word fight? How many times will Joe Biden use the word folks? How many times will a man interrupt …

Seattle’s Newest Park
It’s not much to look at. It’s just a small sliver of beachfront off the Burke-Gilman Trail. It’s not readily accessible by car. However, the NE 130th Street End Park now belongs to the city after a long battle. You can read about it in this Seattle Times article. The Save the Beach campaign …

Snow Belt versus Seattle Cars
I grew up in the Snow Belt of upstate New York, where it snows eight months of the year (if you’re lucky). My trip Back East last week reminded me how different vehicle types and conditions are between Seattle and the Syracuse area. Some of it is necessity; others, preference. Here are the main differences: …

Are You Sure We’re Sisters?
My sister and I have always been two very different people, despite my mother’s best efforts. (The time that my brother, sister, and I had to wear sailor outfits for formal pictures was considered cruel and unusual punishment by all three of us.) The difference is most evident in our food preferences. My sister listed …

Bittersweet Homecoming
I’m Back East in my hometown, not for vacation. My mother fell last month and landed in the hospital. She didn’t break anything, but she had ceased taking her medications. She was in rehab for a couple of weeks. She will now be in assisted living, if not skilled nursing, for the duration. I flew …

Summer in the City
I’ve mentioned several times that Seattle doesn’t do winter well. We can now add hot weather to the climes that Seattle doesn’t do well. I had a conference down at the airport. Getting down there via bus and light rail was easy. Getting back, on the other hand… The train was slow in arriving and …

Where’s the Chicken???
Paris has the Eiffel Tower. Seattle has the Space Needle. Bothell has the Country Village Chicken – or rather, used to have the Country Village Chicken. As you may recall from this post last year, Country Village was a funky little collection of shops north of downtown Bothell. The owners sold the property to a …

Our Garden, 2019 Edition
It was a brutal winter, with two weeks of snow and ice. Most of the ferns and ajugas in the planter boxes were pretty beaten up. The surviving ferns were planted on a bare strip of ground near the entry, along with three new ferns. One ajuga is barely holding on; the others were dispatched …

For My Nephew
I saw this car on my way downtown to catch the bus home on Friday. My nephew has been interested in moths and butterflies since he was a kid. So, Randy, this is for you.

Happy Mount St. Helens Day!
Where were you when Mount St. Helens erupted in 1980? I was living in Dallas when the bulletin interrupted Charles Kuralt’s Sunday morning show. The iconic picture of the mountain blowing its top is seared into my memory. My grad school roommate grew up in Pullman, in southeastern Washington. Her school was actually closed for …
