Neighborhood in Need of Help
Pioneer Square is the oldest neighborhood in Seattle, dating back to pre-Alaska Gold Rush days. After years of being best known for dive bars and sketchy characters, the neighborhood is on the rise. Unfortunately, Pioneer Square and its businesses are in danger of closing due to clumsy construction. We had tickets to a symphony concert …

This Year’s Garden
I was late in getting the seeds planted for the herb garden this year. I’ve currently got parsley, garlic chives, thyme, cilantro, basil, and oregano seeds in Jiffy Pots thinking about germinating. (Jiffy Pots are compressed peat pucks that expand when wet into baby planters. I’ve used these before to get a head start on …

Brewpub Beets
Two of the twenty-somethings in our Friday night group got married last September. Since they’re both aficionados of microbrews, we gave them a home brewing kit as a wedding present. They were thrilled. Last night was the debut of their first product, a light ale, at a potluck. This necessitated some thinking about what would …

Scent of a Crunch Bar
The New York Times published an essay on the smells that remind one of childhood and home. This elicited a flurry of replies from readers. Here’s my story of childhood aroma. I was born in Fulton, New York. One block from the hospital where I was born was a massive Nestle factory, known in town …

That was Fast
Two weeks ago I mentioned the demise of one of our neighborhood eagles. Animal Control thought it was a female, and I hypothesized that it was Edwina from the nest down the block from our condo. Either a new couple has moved into the nest, or Edwina’s mate Eddie wasted no time finding another lady …

First In, Last Out
My maternal grandfather was, by his own admission, an ornery old cuss. He dropped out of school as a teenager, but he had the rural equivalent of street smarts. One of his observations that’s stuck with me for decades is that farmers are the first to get into an economic depression and the last to …

A Minor Passover Miracle
The Passover-Easter season is awash in miracles. The burning bush. The parting of the Red Sea. The resurrection of Jesus. I add a small one: I found a vegetable salad that contains neither alliums or nightshades. I offered to make an asparagus salad for tonight’s Mixed-Marriage Seder. This is one of the highlights of the …

A Death in the Neighborhood
We learned that one of our resident bald eagles had died. I believe it was the one I called Edwina, who nested with her partner, Eddie, in the nest down the street. Her body was found on the street Sunday morning. Our local animal control transported it to a wildlife rehab center for a necropsy …

Sir Ringo!
Ringo Starr is now a Knight of the British Empire, under his birth name of Richard Starkey. It’s high time. To many people, John was too political. Paul is too sappy. George was too woo woo. Ringo is Ringo, comfortable in his own skin. He enjoys life. He tours with his All Star Band during …

St. Patrick’s Day at the Pike
We had a symphony concert on Saturday night. In addition, I was running desperately low on my drug of choice. So we went downtown in late afternoon. It was after the St. Patrick’s Day parade, so traffic was relatively light. First stop was the Perennial Tea Room at Pike Place Market. As we rounded the …
