A Year in the Life of the Early-Morning Lap Swimmers
Over the years, I’ve noticed a certain pattern in the comings and goings of my fellow swimmers. January: The New Years’ resolutioneers arrive. February: 50% of the New Years’ resolutioneers are no longer swimming. March: 90% of the New Years’ resolutioneers are no longer swimming. April: The first wave of triathlon trainees arrive. May: The …

Rant of the Day
I grew up in an area of upstate New York near Lake Ontario that’s known for fertile bottom land, affectionately referred to as muck by the locals. Onions grow spectacularly well in this soil. Many of the kids I went to school with had families in the onion-farming and shipping business. So my question for …

A Resonant Quote
I’ve been reading a lot of history lately. It helps me make sense of the world and reassures me that, despite overwhelming chaos, things can turn out for the better. I just finished A World Made New: Eleanor Roosevelt and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. I’ve always been a fan of Mrs. Roosevelt, and …

Déjà Vu All Over Again
(I apologize to the late, legendary Yogi Berra in advance.) The Watergate break-in and cover-up occurred while I was in high school. I remember watching the Senate Watergate Committee hearings and the House Impeachment Committee deliberations. My friend Lee Anne wore an “Impeachment with Honor” t-shirt in the senior play picture for the yearbook. She …

Goslings!
One of the highlights of living at Casa Sammamish is seeing the plethora of wildlife. This year we’ve been watching a nesting pair of Canada geese and their six offspring. The goslings are eating machines. They’ve at least doubled their size in the last week. Last Friday night there was a panic for the little …

Luka is Ten
Luka is our elder statescat. His full Cat Fanciers’ Association name is Velva’s Luka Get Off the Table. He lives up to that moniker on a regular basis. He’s also a serious lap – and shoulder – cat. We got Luka as a kitten from a breeder in Ohio. We’d just lost our first Russian …

Random Access Musings
These are little snippets of life that don’t add up to full posts on their own. Why is it that the voice on the Metro bus pronounces Seneca as Senokot? Maybe it’s because you’re guaranteed to lose sphincter control if your car’s brakes die going down Seneca Street in Seattle? As I recall, Seneca Street …

Marching for Science
Yesterday was the March for Science in downtown Seattle. Residents of our fair metropolitan area turned out in force, despite inclement weather. We skipped the speeches at the beginning and joined the march downtown. A festive time was had by all, and we hope that we raised awareness of the importance of scientific research to …

Peculiar Phenomenon
Strange things happen hereabouts when the daytime temperature gets above 50°F. Sunroofs and convertible tops are opened. Skin is exposed. People wear sandals without socks. College students sun themselves on the quads in an attempt to lose the winter pallor. (No spray tans here – too Trumpian.) This rite of spring is not unique to …

Getting Juiced, Getting Fleeced
By now you’ve probably heard about the Juicero, a Wi-Fi-enabled juicer that squeezes $8 packets of juice into your glass for a mere $399 (plus tax, shipping, and handling). Venture capitalists with more money than common sense funded this company. One investigative reporter found that she could hand squeeze the packet into a glass herself and …
