Thoughts for the Day

This July 4th, we need to recall some voices from the past to bring us back to our best selves as Americans. These quotes were originally published in The Nation in 1991. “The term ‘patriotism’ seems to be raised most often in the context of military action and at times has been used as a …

Canada Day

July 1 was Canada Day, the anniversary of when Canada, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia were merged into one dominion under the British Empire in 1867. As the sesquicentennial of this act, this year’s Canada Day festivities were huge. Vancouver’s celebration was second only to Ottawa’s in size. We drove up to Vancouver from Seattle …

Worst Case Scenario

Let’s say that some nightmare of a Republican “health care” bill manages to pass both houses of Congress and gets signed into law. Who will lose? Here are my predictions: The elderly won’t lose. They vote. The AARP will lobby every last member of Congress and state legislature to make sure that any Medicaid cuts …

Weekend Wanderings

Friday night Julian asked, “So what are the plans for the weekend?” I told him to look at the weekend section of the paper for inspiration. As it happened, the Greenwood Car Show was on Saturday. We’ve gone to this several times while we’ve lived here. In the interest of domestic tranquility, I acquiesced. Somehow …

More Change, not for the Better

We went downtown on our usual caffeine run today. It’s high tourist season here. Pike Place Market was slammed. As we approached Julian’s coffee shop of choice, Caffe d’Arte, I noticed it looked strangely vacant. We read the sign on the door: Last day of business at the location on 2nd Ave and Stewart Street …

Keeping Up to Date

Neli has been known to compose text messages. Today she decided to browse the CNN website on Julian’s phone. Neli geeking out

Meet the New Ride

Meet Flash, my “new” bike. As with Harvietta, this was a secondhand bike. This one was handed over by Julian. He decided he didn’t need to put his shoulder at risk by riding a bike. It’s much lighter than the old bike. It’s also silver. One guy passed me on the trail a couple of …

This Year’s Garden

So to speak. Our “garden” consists of the south-facing upper deck and a few square feet of semi-shade near the front door walkway. We also have some planters in deep shade on said walkway. Last week I emptied the soil out so Julian could paint them. Eventually I may try to put some ferns in …

Flower Communion

Like many Unitarian Universalists (UU), my favorite service of the year is Flower Communion. Each person brings a flower, places it in a common basket, then leaves with a different flower. The flowers may come from gardens, farmers’ markets, or the grocery store. This ritual is not imbued with the deep symbolism of Christian Communion; …
