Quiet

Today was Mike's funeral. I went to the pre-cemetary memorial service, in a church. I like churches, for the most part, they have art and architecture and in their best light are a gathering place of people. Today the people were in shades of gre...

Vapid and Vacuous

2009-11-04T03:55:56Z

Is what Tuesday night has to offer on the tele, it appears. "The Girls Next Door" which, with Holly Madison and Bridget was a fun escape into mindless consumerism and a hint of "what it would be like to be that well off and that built", and with ...

Short Timer's Syndrome

2009-11-03T20:54:39Z

My. Oh, my. We only have two months left of this year! You know what that means: time to evaluate how I've done on the list. (One cannot forget about one's lists... they keep one humble... and apparently referring to oneself in the third person)....

Pause

2009-10-31T03:23:54Z

I first met Mike Montgomery at Evergreen Junior High in 1986. I had just moved from California, and knew nobody. He was friends-of-friends with a guy I thought was cute. He was the guy in the hall, not too popular but not unpopular, a pleasant pe...

I see I have forgot to blog about the Seattle Weaver's Guild Sale. The SWG Sale happens this time each year-- in honor of my birthday, I presume -- and is more of a "fabric arts" sale than weaver's sale. True, you can find much in the way of wove...

Putting Data in its Place

2009-10-21T01:51:38Z

I'm a simple pleasures kind of person. A decent glass (or two) of red, a warm beach, a pleasant vista, a home cooked meal. Each of these tickle my fancy. (My fancy isn't all that fancy, and I am distinctly "utilitarian" -- according to GH -- and ...

On My Knees...

2009-10-20T03:19:38Z

No, not really. So I ran, and it felt a lil' sore, and I got all cocky and went to the Mushroom Show. It was interesting to see all the different fungi and the ones that looked grotesque were typically edible, the ones that looked fine were typic...

Well, That Didn't Work Too Well

2009-10-17T01:21:06Z

Having optimistically signed up for the half marathon, I've been in physical therapy and today, I got taped. The tape lasted all of about 4 hours in keeping my kneecap in place. My kneecap, which is apparently as stubborn as I, has undone itself ...

Fund$

Tomorrow, I may be on the phone lines for 94.9 KUOW's Fall Fund Drive. (Disclosure: I listen to KUOW on my commute religiously, and I donate in the spring. This year I decided to sign up for phone duty for the Fall Fund Drive because I have fisca...

Carpentry

2009-10-09T16:49:09Z

Presidents are like furniture. I was sitting in the car, in my curbside parking space next to the Top Pot Doughnuts in Bellevue, having the anecdotally convenient "driveway moment": I couldn't leave the car, because I was listening to something o...
