The day began watching a professional class at Pacific Northwest Ballet . While I’ve viewed many classes, the dancers never fail to impress me with their flexibility, grace, and athleticism.

I was glad to have gone to the top of the Space Needle yesterday because today started cloudy and never cleared. It seemed a good day to do two of my favorite things in Seattle—go to art galleries and to the Pike Place markets to see the flowers. Pioneer Square has one of my favorite […]
The prediction was for a gray, chilly day. Fortunately, the forecasters got it wrong. Today has been sunny, though a bit cool. I’ve truly lucked out weatherwise, something to be grateful for in Seattle. I met an old colleague and friend Charlie, and his wife MJ, for breakfast.

Yesterday I flew south from Seattle to Ontario (just outside of Los Angeles). My friend Jeanne picked me up for a week’s adventure on the Pacific coast. She’s got a truck camper that gives us the freedom to meander and stay overnight in nature. Plus no packing and unpacking. We drove about 90 minutes to […]
