The Columbia City Crawl
To get Julian out of the house, we took a road trip to Columbia City today. This neighborhood is where all of the various ethnic groups in Seattle mash together. It’s rapidly gentrifying, but it still has an African-American vibe. Julian’s mother spent her last years in a nursing home in Seward Park, to the …

Victory!
A notice came out on local social media that there would be an announcement about the Wayne Golf Course today at 4 pm. This is the golf course across from our condo that the now-former mayor wanted to develop into luxury homes. I was at work, but Julian attended. When I got home, he gave …

The God-Awful Chicken Dish
Every family has a certain recipe that reaches legendary status for one reason or another. Recently in my family, it’s something that got the name in the title. I have yet to try it, since I’m on the West Coast. My mother hates it, but my sister Terry and her family love it. According to …

Haikus for a January Commute
The rain was falling, and traffic was crawling. What else is there to do on a bus than write haikus? Some explanations for the first haiku. STEMI stands for S-T elevation myocardial infarction, a form of heart attack. ED stands for the emergency department. I work with heart surgeons. Code STEMI, ED It means just …

I Don’t Mean to Gloat, But
I saw the first daffodil in bloom on Friday. I think this is about as early as I’ve seen it happen. (Apologies to my friends digging out from the snowstorm.) The rate things are going, the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival north of us may need to be moved up to March.

Snowstorms
I’ve lived through my share of snowstorms, having grown up in the Snow Belt of upstate NY. My benchmark storm was the blizzard of 1966. Between 9 feet of snowfall (yes, you read that right) and high winds, we had six snow days in a row off school. We lived at the foot of a …

Dates and Compromises
Here’s another contribution from my friend Michele. Eight or ten years ago I started buying these absolutely delicious medjool dates from Israel. They are fat, tender, and outrageously sweet. Can’t eat too many at a time. We mash these dates with crushed nuts to fill hamantaschen and thin mashed dates for dipping apple slices and …

The Internal iTunes
I have a weird memory for music. Sometimes a song I haven’t heard in years will suddenly pop into my head, complete with lyrics and the right musical arrangement. The scientific term for this phenomenon is earworm. I prefer to think of it as my internal iTunes. There are bad earworms and good earworms. The …

Democratic Debate Drinking Game Postmortem
It’s a good thing I didn’t participate. Donald Trump would have given me an epic hangover. He was mentioned more than any of the other terms combined.

Democratic Debate Drinking Game
Julian said, “I may need hard liquor for this.” So we devised a drinking game. Not that I’m going to have any alcohol, since I had a beer mourning the Seahawks’ loss. Income Inequality: Take a drink. Progressive: Take a drink. Top 1%: Take a drink. Donald Trump: Two shots. (Julian made the universal sign …
