It's true.  Faces are everywhere.
This one was in the bathroom stall at Mt. Rainier National Park.

Pritchard Beach

This is what Seattle looks like in January.

Craving Sun

Lots of days like this.  I crave sunshine. My LA friends crave rain.  That's how it works.

The Road Not Taken

Exploring my neighborhood.  I found this.

Always nice to find new perspectives to old situations.

To Bowl-dly Go

Congratulations, Seahawks, on winning today and good luck at the Super Bowl!
We've got some frenzied sports love in this fine city.

I raise my Captain Kirk glass of Chardonnay to you, Hawks.

I am a Jedi.

Let me just say, for the record, that I am a badass when it comes to roasting teeny tiny fingerling potatoes.

Crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside.

I Miss You, Fun Forest.

Today, I miss the Fun Forest.  I wonder where all these rides  got dismantled and shipped off to.  Billions of happy butts sat in those seats.  Billions of decibels of happy screams, all gone now.  Replaced by an overpriced, ego-driven glass museum whose artist is already ubiquitous in the northwest and has his own museum elsewhere.  I sincerely love fine art, but kids really don't have nearly enough places to hang out for good clean fun in this city.  What a shame.

The children were robbed.

I'm thankful to have had the time I had with this place.  3 birthday parties for my kid, many afternoons with friends and family, and many 15-minute breaks while working at EMP.

Brief, sunny, loud, happy music memories.
