In less than 24 hours, I’ll be back home in California for a little over a week on vacation. It’s my longest vacation in over a year and I’m looking forward to it. All the kids are coming back to town and we’re going with my mom and step-dad to a beach house [...]
I took the water taxi to west Seattle yesterday and rollerskated along the water. It was gorgeous but windy. I hadn’t ever seen Seattle from this vantage point before except in pictures so figured I’d capture one of my own.
I’ve been a huge, huge fan of Big Up Productions and Sender Films for ages now. For those of you who don’t know who they are, they’re the best rock climbing film makers out there. I have almost all of their videos and watch one at least once a month.

Anyone feel like going to the Seattle Beer Festival on Friday? We should have off of work because of the 4th of July holiday. Sounds like a blast :).

Lauren and I were walking home from Whole Foods on Saturday when we encountered a guy sitting on the side of the street that was obviously intoxicated. Our conversation went as follows:
Him: Hey, do you have a light?
Me: No, I don’t smoke, sorry.
Him: Do you smoke weed?
Me. No.
Him: Me neither.
Him: Hey, does she [...]
One of the things, if not the biggest thing, that I hate about Seattle is the amount people smoke. I grew up around a bunch of people that smoked, and yet nothing is as bad as what it is in Seattle. People will smoke constantly and then toss the butts on the ground and just [...]
I often wonder what the people do in the apartments I can see late at night. I also wonder if people see me sitting at my computer doing nothing important.
I sometimes wish it were like Friends where there is a funny naked guy (ok, not him exactly, but someone as interesting as him) to [...]
