Mary went to Washington DC this past weekend and while she was there, she went to the Museum of Natural History. She sent a few photos back on the iPhone and while the boy was magnificently impressed with the picture of the T-Rex skeleton, I was more taken with a quote that she found from […]

Sunday afternoon
They’re calling for high winds today out on the coast, gusts to 60 knots. It’s nowhere near that blustery here in Puget Sound country, but it still feels a lot like winter out there. I’ve been watching the film about twice a day this weekend, going through the images scene by scene, seeing what else […]

Curtain call
The premiere went well last night… a lot of friends I hadn’t seen in a while and some I met for the first time. For those who made it to the Grand, I just want to say “Thanks!” and I hope you had as much fun as we did. For those who were not able […]

There are different words for the […]

The opposite of warm
It’s early, still plenty dark outside, and it feels like the mercury has fallen out of the bottom of the thermometer. Somewhere around here, after we fall back an hour but before the Christmas carols start oozing out of the grocery store sound system, is when winter actually arrives. Today feels like it might be […]

Kittson Island
There’s a small islet in south Puget Sound named for the one-time Chief Factor of the Hudson’s Bay Company down Nisqually way. Charles Wilkes, when he drifted through these waters back in the mid-1800’s, was a naming fool, hanging a name on every island, point and waterway he came across. The way he saw it, […]

Your voice
It seems like, every four years, we’re told that “this is the most important election of your life.” I would think that with the law of averages being what it is, they can’t all be the most important, or even the most important so far. But why quibble over false superlatives? I don’t know if […]
